The 1 star out of 10 is harsh. Also you admitted you only watched one episode which was a very average episode anyway. As the series progressed it gets better and better. Its not in the class of Frasier, Friends, Everybody loves Raymond etc but its not a bad sitcom at all. You need to give sitcoms a chance to bed in, remember the great Cheers nearly got canned after 10 episodes but survived and went on to be a classic. The characters are likable and new ones are added as the series progresses which add to it all. ALl in all this isn't a bad sitcom. Hopefully this will get a second season run now to let it progress even more.
... View MoreI was very skeptical that this show would be anything less that a jumbled mess with crass humor thrown in every now and then by Jay Mohr. Don't get me wrong, I love Jay Mohr, he has his moments, but I wasn't sure a sitcom was going to be a good moment.But it's funny! It's really, truly funny! It's interesting family dynamics, with a flare of those good ol' sitcom family antics. Ryan Malgarini is hysterical, a young talent with great comedic timing. The writers put a lot of sass in it, and it's the kind of comedy that makes you laugh big.It's a good laugh; you're going to smile all the way through the whole show. It doesn't take itself seriously, and it's funnier for it.
... View MoreI heard someone at work talk about this show and so I gave it a chance. I have never been a huge Jay Mohr fan so I was hesitant at first. I started watching and loved it. My wife is now hooked.The supporting cast is great, mostly because of the two kids. The children are involved a lot in the plot lines and can hold their own.However, I am not one of those that tunes into TV for the story lines to all tie in together well or to check on the congruity of it, I tune in to be entertained, especially when it comes to comedies. This is not a show that is going to make the world a better place, but it does make me laugh.
... View MoreThis show is flat out funny. The writing has some strong jokes - some blue, some smart, some strange - but with twenty minutes to kill watching a sitcom, I just want some laughs. Mohr (who was so good in GO) is great in this role . It fits him perfectly - a blue collar guy trying to get on with his life after a rough divorce. The kids are perfect and they both play off of Mohr very well. He recently had a tender scene with his daughter in a restaurant that was truly touching. And Mohr has terrific chemistry battling Marshall. Marshall has impeccable timing. A good, throwback sitcom. It doesn't try and reinvent the wheel. It just delivers laughs. That's good enuff for me.
