Description:
Based on the characters from the popular independent film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding! Nia and Tom return from their honeymoon and discover that when the honeymoon is over, the real fun begins. Seven episodes! Stars almost the entire cast from the movie Nia Vardalos, Lainie Kazan, Louis Mandylor, Andrea Martin and more. Executive produced by Rita Wilson.

In the wake of the phenomenal success of , it seemed an obvious choice to build a sitcom around writer-star Nia Vardalos's family life. But the sitcom was cancelled after half a seaon--which is too bad, because though My Big Fat Greek Life doesn't capture the same relaxed, storytelling rhythm of the movie, almost the entire acting ensemble returns (Andrea Martin, Michael Constantine, Lainie Kazan, Gia Carides, and Louis Mandylor; only John Corbett, due to other obligations, was ably replaced by Steve Eckholdt as Nia's non-Greek husband), and their skilled interplay makes My Big Fat Greek Life an entirely satisfying show. Most of the episodes stay strongly entrenched with family issues, playing with the contrasting tugs of family obligation and the desire for independence, all anchored by Vardalos's smart, engaging presence. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually, very entertaining show!
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } It's amazing to see the negative revues of this show from people who seem negative. If you watch the show to be entertained, which was the purpose of this show, you will not be disappointed! It is funny, light-hearted, and is not meant to be a competition to the movie, but rather a chance for us to continue with the characters we loved from the film. My only disappointment was having only 7 episodes. For those who criticize the show for being cancelled so quickly, this is not the only good show to meet an untimely demise. (look at Firefly, another excellent entertaining show which was cancelled after 11 or 12 episodes).The first episode, "The House Gift" is a great reintroduction to the characters. Yes, Toula is now Nia, and Ian is now Thomas. I was able to get over that fact with little pain, so I don't see the big deal for some who cannot seem to live with the new names, or the fact that Thomas is played by a different actor. It's a TV show, not real life, and these are actors. Things change. Get over it and enjoy the show.#2 - The Empire Strikes Back - Nick is hilarious in this episode, and Voula is great. (In fact, she is the best and most funny character in this series.) Gus and Maria are preparing a will to see who will inherit the "empire" (restaurant and house). Nia inherits the restaurant, and she is none to happy about the aspect of being just like her father. Watch this one just to see the scene with Voula, Nia and Nick as the women try to approach the subject of who will get the restaurant to Nick.#3 - The Free Lunch - man does this one seem to get the criticism! This one is funny too, not a classic, but it is funny, which is what this show is about. Nia messes up an "arrangement" the parents have with the police, and it is up to her, Voula (again the best character, she is hilarious!) and Nicky to save the day.#4 - Arianna - this one seems liked by most who have watched this series and it is funny, but the funniest part is Voula giving Arianna a mock interview!#5 - Big Night - Seeing the three woman scream "Yanni!!!!" and run toward him like mad school girls is reason enough to watch this episode again and again! Hilarious!#6 - Nick Moves Out - Maria and Nick are the main reasons to watch this episode. Even at only 6 episodes so far, character development is great for these two. Too bad the show couldn't continue as I'm sure we would have seen character development of the others.#7 - Greek Easter - "Best Easter ever!" Funny episode, sad to know it was the last.So ends the show, which was such a shame. No sex scenes, no murders, no missing children, no medical emergencies, no infidelity, no profanity. What a shame. With those it might have lasted longer. But for those of us who don't need all of that crap in our shows, My Big Fat Greek Life is a reminder that you don't have to be crude to be funny, you don't have to be obscene to be entertaining.
5.0 out of 5 stars GREEK LIFE
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! WILL WATCH IT AGAIN!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good movie
Came on time and as described.
5.0 out of 5 stars Always makes me laugh
I loved the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding and I watched this TV show when it was on the air, for what little time it was on. I was so happy when I found that Bolo was selling this. I had to buy it immediately. It is a welcome edition to my collection and I have already watched all the episodes once. Glad to have the laughs again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Great movie got here on time.
4.0 out of 5 stars We are enjoying this!
I read the bad reviews and it took me a while to decide to get this or not. I almost didn't! I'm so glad I finally bought this as we are really enjoying watching this.Ok, it's not as good as the movie and it's a little stiff in some places and the acting is a bit over the top in some parts and the stories are not perfect, but it IS funny! We love watching the familiar characters and it's been fun passing some time both laughing and grimacing at them.
1.0 out of 5 stars horrible follow-up to the movie
Sadly this t.v. show doesn't follow the movie well at all..in the movie we leave off with the couple and a six year old daughter living next door to her parents in the house gifted at the wedding however at the beginning of the sitcom we are in an airport just after the honeymoon with the husband's name now being Thomas instead of Ian like in the movie. Different actor and different mindset towards her family. And apparently the house wasn't given at the wedding.
3.0 out of 5 stars I loved the movies
Don't get me wrong, I loved the movies! They were all about the MANY ways our parents have of embarrassing us throughout our teen/early adult years. She described the ways for her. We can all relate. It was all done with humor and with more warm family love than I think I could have mustered up at that age. These, however, are from the TV series. Too much CAMP and a total divergence from the subtleties of real life. I was not surprised that it only lasted for a few shows. ave it three stars because I am still glad to have these because theiry are delightfully Nia.

Hello, merchandise in excellent condition. Very pleased. Thank you very much.
Total lustig, aber amerikanisch angehaucht
Die Nachfolge-Episoden zu dem Film "My big fat greek wedding".Wer gerne mehr über die griechische Sippe lachen möchte, ist mit diesen Folgen gut bedient. In der ersten Folge kommen die das griechisch-amerikanische Pärchen von der Hochzeitsreise zurück und wird noch am Flughafen von der griechischen Verwandtschaft in Empfang genommen und es ist alles wie vor der Hochzeit: die Verwandtschaft mischt sich überall ein, beim griechischen Vater haben immernoch alle Sachen auf diesem Planeten die Griechen erfunden und der Ehemann wird als "Nicht-Grieche" bezeichnet und immernoch nicht akzeptiert.Der Film ist allerdings etwas amerikanisch angehaucht (amerikanisch-kitschige Art).
Five Stars
Excellent
diese serie ist einfach Spitze . Für jeden griechenland fan ist einfach super diese serie.ich finde sie einfach spitze. :)
