Trivia

The logo design for the show's title (the uppercase word "GO" with the O tilted 45 degrees away from the G, and the uppercase word "ON" directly below "GO") is a reference to Robert Indiana's iconic Pop Art-era "LOVE" artwork. Indiana first designed this artwork in 1965 as a Christmas card for New York's Museum of Modern Art, Indiana has reconfigured the design in many formats (including prints, postage stamps, and sculptures) and languages (including Hebrew and Chinese).

User Reviews

A great new comedy - why all the hate?

If you're reading this then you already know the premise of the show. When I first heard about this show I had a hard time imagining how they would be able to pull it off as a sitcom, however after watching it all I can say is well done.

The cast does a great job and are very believable, especially considering there is almost no character development going on. Having watched the first three episodes I really hope that this show gets at least 2 seasons. I don't know that it has enough going for it to last beyond that, as at some point he has to get out of therapy, but I hope they give it the opportunity to play itself out.

For me, the true test of a comedy is not necessarily that it is funny for the whole 30 minutes (well, 21 minutes, damn commercials), but that it makes me laugh out loud. This show has provided me with a number of laugh out loud moments, and that is what I am looking for in a comedy.
