The Mick- First Impressions & After Trailer Thoughts

I'm doing something different this year for the Fall TV Pilots 2016. Here I will do an individual series and include my First Impressions along with my After Trailer Thoughts and finally will conclude with the Premiere Review in the fall.

The Mick (FOX- Comedy)

First Impressions (based on concept):
"A hard-living, foul-mouthed woman moves to affluent Greenwich, Connecticut, to raise the spoiled kids of her wealthy sister who has fled the country to avoid a federal indictment". I have a hard time believing that a character on the FOX network will really be that "hard-living" and "foul-mouthed". I think this series would do a lot better on a different network like HBO, FX or Showtime where they are able to produce series's with a lot more characters like this one.
How Excited Am I? 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest): 1


After Trailer Thoughts:
Is it possible that this trailer looks even worse than I thought it would? I think Allison Janney would have been a better choice than Kaitlin Olson (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), though I'm sure Janney would have a lot more sense than to take a crappy role in an unfunny looking series. Though I don't think it needs to be on a different network as her character seemed TV-style-toned-down rather than the "hard-living" and "foul-mouthed" character they described. Since it's a mid-season series, FOX clearly doesn't have much faith in it either.
How Excited Am I? 1 (lowest) - 10 (highest): Remains at 1.
How Long Will It Last? Less than one season with a cancellation coming around the 10 episode mark.
