Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
policy134 Each show is excellent. Finally, a show about something other than why it sucks to be married or good looking people talking about why they are like normal people. Shame it got canceled.Mike Scully and Julie Thacker, formerly of the Simpsons, wrote or executive produced some of the funniest episodes of that series and a lot of the similar style humour seeps in here. Take Officer Steve Cox and think Troy McClure. However, it does come with its own unique brand of humour and let's face it, a teenage girl will love it just by on the faces alone.What is it with television that cancel most good shows and we are spoon-fed with such abominations as Who My Mother Almost Slept With or whatever that show is called? Please learn a lesson. Not everything has to be about cuteness or romantic travails or especially reality shows on how to demystify every aspect of life. Some people actually like to laugh and not have to think afterward. Well, my griping is done for the day. Now back to the Simpsons. When is it on? Oh, yes! All the time.
tatlicupcake PLOT: pretty obvious - a single dad raising 5 boys. This show does go for some of the cheap jokes like the way "Raven" does, but there are some witty jokes such as "The dog goes more out than you, and he's fixed." Don't judge from the stupid theme song alone. Watch the 1st 5 minutes; if you don't like it, change the channel. CHARACTERS: The dad is a responsible fireman, oldest son is a football playing moron, next is a "cool" musician player, next is a awkward sensitive nerd, mischief causing menace, and the youngest is a lying cutie. There is a laugh track though. If there is nothing else on TV, I would watch this. I had low expectations so I was surprised. Those with okay/good expectations might not like this. As a point of reference my favorite shows are: "Entourage", "Golden Girls", "Grounded for Life", "Scrubs", "Avatar; The Last Airbender", and "Naked Brothers" - the latter 2 come from babysitting.
amullady Here is a question to Chicagocrtc - you mention "My Three Sons", did you notice that Mel Gibson appears to have tipped his hat to that classic series with his opening - shoes tapping together (and the paw!) and the "Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah"? Strike a familiar note? The tune has been updated and there are a few more shoes - but it's a great tribute to the granddaddy of all sitcoms about a single parent trying to raise their kids. It's a tried but true format and Gibson has taken it to new heights, the laughs are from familiar situations every (normal) parent and child can relate to. If it hasn't happened to you, it's happened to someone you know. Kudos to Mel and his "Savages".
Roxburyfunny1 This show is so funny and it gives me and my mom a Friday night line up of great shows. Keith Carradine couldn't be better on this show as a dad who doesn't act like a typical father. I mean he shows safety videos. I love the sons they all have their own personality and they stick by each other when necessary. The writing is great and me and my mom laugh a lot and the guys play their characters so well and make the show really flow on its own.The story lines are good... its not your everyday written crap. This is a great family show you just have to view it as that not Ebert on a movie. I recommend the show to anyone who wants a good Friday of t.v. and to laugh and enjoy themselves! ~!
