    The concept is basic, two guys go round to there parents for friday night dinner. The problem with show, is that it's to repetative. The characters in this are just pure irritating, Always saying or doing things that make little to no sense. If you like a show that has the same storyline every week then its for you.

    I watched episode one under protest and thought "what a load of crap". Three years later, I am hooked and I have watched the whole lot at least ten times over. Tamsin (Mummy) and Mark (Jim) are my stars but it wouldn't work without the whole ensemble A very low budget TV show with no special effects. Props are limited to a frozen fox and a splitting images Prince Charles mask.This classic relies on nothing more than brilliant writing and acting.They both conspire to make my belly ache with laughter.I die every time that Jim flinches away from Wilson. Genius comedy.Not to mention Gran accidentally kissing dad on the chest.More please.

    This is a really good example of a situation comedy where relatively small and seemingly trivial things can be focused on and expanded into hilarious situations. The show rarely extends beyond the confines of the house and typically revolves around the four main characters with the strange neighbour next door making regular appearances and perhaps another individual included for the particular episode in question. There is a very strong cast and the comedy is balanced between a decent plot, (or set-up), excellent dialogue and some visual humour. It really does have the feel of a family with the little nuances that make family life very funny at times. This is a quality show, which may be under the radar a little, compared to other more high profile productions, but actually is far better than most of them. Well worth watching an entire episode, (they wrap themselves up quite neatly and satisfactorily in the end), if you haven't heard or seen it before. Far more people are going to enjoy this than not.

    Love this show. At first I actually thought the acting was weird, just to be weird (which can be extremely awful). But boy, was I wrong.This show actually have characters that could swing on the black side of comedy or the white side of comedy. Its success is in the timing! This show is just funny but in a smart way. Not a regular American comedy which almost every time is Painful to watch. The only bad comment I have is on the last episode. That is when it is obvious one of the brothers are more lucky than the other one... all the other episodes does not have that feeling which makes me glad. I Hope the second season does not simplify everything and have characters that you KNOW all too well and doesn't provide any intelligence at all. But so far, so good. 5/6 episodes are awesome!
