    I love this comedy! It's the freshest comedy on TV. Very funny writing and the acting is excellent. I have no argument with any of the casting - though it took me a little while to catch on to "I-Carly" in her new role. At first, I didn't think Miranda Cosgrove was a good fit for the show, and her lines didn't seem all that funny. But I've gotten used to all of the characters and the fit seems better every show. Warburton's character is hilarious as always, but the sister who isn't played by Cosgrove practically steals the show every week! She is REALLY FUNNY! I think the Sunday night time slot doomed the show. It's on the wrong channel to pair with "The Big Bang Theory" or "Two Broke Girls", but that audience would fully appreciate this show. Plus, I think NBC pulled the trigger on it much too soon. It deserves another year at least, and if NBC doesn't see the light, I seriously hope another channel picks it up. Wherever it comes on, I'll find it and enjoy it. Very funny show! Shame on you NBC for being so trigger-happy!

    By episode four, this new show starring Patrick Warburton (as father of the family, Mike Moore) is coming into focus. If you like Warburton's comedic styling, you will probably like this show. He will remind you of David Puddy from "Seinfeld", but Mike is not as dim-witted. Carrie Preston plays his wife, Martina. And the two millennial daughters who simultaneously return to the household to nest are Stella (Mia Serafino) and Shea (Miranda Cosgrove).But the family doesn't end there. Stacy Keach is Mike's father, Bob--a hard-nosed retired detective. His wife Alice is played by Carlease Burke. And Clifford McGhee plays Alice's son, Ethan. Though there is the occasional joke about the adult child returning home, the episodes do not focus on that topic. Actually, they are still laying the groundwork in the first four episodes. But the relationships are beginning to develop and more laugh out loud moments are occurring.At this point, I will grade this show a "7", hoping that the writers can get into a groove as the Moores become more like family to viewers. When I consider that another well-written show, "Modern Family", relies upon its well-defined characters for its hilarity, I know that "Crowded" can possibly achieve similar results.The two daughters, who might remind you of the daughters on "Modern Family", need to become more central to the focus of this show. There is untapped potential there.

    I don't know why people think this show is crap. I find it a good show to chill out to. I find it realistic. Beside Mirandas character which I don't like. It feels like how families are now a days. They deal with things that are more common in everyday life . Parents dealing sec and the father has issues and resentment towards the father aka the grandfather. One teen is out experimenting and partying. The other teen is a super nerd that isn't very sociable.I'm 29 and the young adults around don't know how good they have it. I had my first real paying job at 13. By 16 I was paying rent. I got my own pager and then my own cell. The teenagers and young adults live off their parents and their parents pay for everything. My own brother got his first job at 26 and he's younger then me. The show isn't amazing but it's pretty OK

    Given the premise of a packed house with returning siblings then might I suggest you watch the Australian series above. This is a family show that has good acting and excellent writing. The characters are written with realistic family values and dialogue, and are fully expanded as the series goes along. There is no sensationalism and the usual Hollywood sex scenes that add nothing to the storyline. This rip off is diabolical!! A complete waste of money and time. Bad writing and unfunny dialogue does not a success make. I believe viewers are sick to death of exploitative and manipulative TV. They relate more to family values and truthful situations. AVOID like the plague.
