A similar idea to the film's, but doesn't quite follow through because the main characters have different names and the husband is a different actor. The live audience is also a bit distracting and changes the way the actors perform. Even so, it is worth watching and is quite funny.

I bought this product because I am in love with Nia Vardalos and am so happy I finally own her TV series. Amazing.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was brilliant. My Big Fat Greek Life, is still good but not as good as the movie. Why the changes from the movie? like the name changes, Dancing Zorbas is a different place, The family house etc. The Greek characters are not Greek enough for me, like they were in the movie. To me it feels like the production team didn't make any effort to make the series as good as the movie. But saying that, I still enjoyed the series.
Although I LOVED THE MOVIE; the series somehow failed in a lot of aspects. the ideas that they had were funny but unfortunately they weren't carried out so well. in saying that it answers my question as to why there was only seven episodes!
Different to what I expected but still good fun. I was expecting this series to be more like the film. The stories & characters are still brilliant & definitely worth watching. It's very much an American sitcom though - which was a contrast to the film.
