Synopsis

Comedy about one big happy family and their sometimes awkward, often hilarious and ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by its various members. Of the three siblings, middle child Matt may have just found his true love, his co-worker, Colleen; his coddled youngest brother, Greg, and his wife, Jen, are overwhelmed by the birth of their first child; and the eldest, Heather, and her husband, Tim, are dreading their impending empty nest so much, they're considering having another baby. Their parents are Joan the family's adoring matriarch who would do anything for her kids - as long as she agrees with it - and John, the gregarious patriarch who's searching for ways to soften the blow of turning 70. As the family's lives unfold in four short stories each week, they try to savor these little pieces of time that flash by but stay with you forever, because these moments add up to what life's all about.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Bereamic Awesome Movie
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
mattkratz I like the premise of this show-where they divide each episode up into four separate stories involving different members of the Short family. I like the "different" way it's filmed, and no laugh track is used or really needed. The situations they use are mostly funny. People can criticize it for its occassional use of sexual innuendos, but I think a lot of sitcoms use those these days. This is one of the best new comedies.*** out of ****
countessalexzapak What can i say ,what can anyone say? Apart from emit a high-pitched wail of agony and disbelief? Staggeringly transcendentally bad So bad that by the 3rd episode i had lost the will to live and remained frozen in horror Watching it, I felt like screaming, like the radio announcer who famously witnessed the Hindenburg bursting into flames ("Oh, the humanity!") it never ever reaches the outskirts of slightly vaguely funny , a pooh pooh jokes was the highest point There is a terrifying trend now to use fabulous actors in truly atrocious infantile fare like this,i blame it all on Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller who in order to lend gravitas to dire material and give their uncles and godfathers employment began the trend of using great seasoned actors to give their putrid fare some kind of cred.In this James Brolin and Dianne Wiest humiliate themselves in material that is so incredibly puerile and poor it makes 2nd grader locker room humor look startlingly Noel Coward esque sophisticated .It's a testament to elder abuse and the brutality of the American medical system of paying for healthcare because that has to be the only reason talents of their calibre would agree to appear in this turkey ,the writing is so so so so so bad .It begs the question was this actually written by some senior exec's 12 year old ? HOW did this ever get made ? Seriously if there was ever an indication that we are living the culture of 'idiocracy' and this is the golden age of stupid it is the fact that not only was this commissioned but has gone for 2 series ?!!!! Dire just absolutely diabolically dire .Don't watch it
daym-65019 This show is easily one of the best of the few worth watching on television. I found this on Netflix, and started watching the show afterwards. Great writing, acting. funny, witty, amusing...If you haven't watched this yet, go do it now!!! Don't wait!! Go!!! I had given up on television completely, and then found this
rog-milligan I have the flu. No not just flu, it is now serious man-flu. Yesterday I discovered Life in Pieces and due to the fact it had my favourite actor from my favourite show from the 60's, Marcus Welby MD.Actor was James Brolin who just happened to also be in my favourite movie from the 70's, Capricorn One.So I set off watching the 22 episodes of this comedy about a slightly dysfunctional family. The acting was top notch and it reminded me of "Soap" from the 70's.Looking forward to season 2 although I think this time I might not watch the 22 episodes in a row.
