While Erik von Detten may be "damn fine" in the looks department, he is pretty damn bad in the acting department. He is so bland and boring that he just fades into the background whenever he's on the screen, which doesn't seem to be a whole lot, so you tend to forget the show is (supposedly) about him. Thankfully, however, there is a lot more action going on here to make up for it. Markie Post is pretty good as the mom. At least she can act. The guy who plays von Detten's best friend can be funny sometimes, too. The oldest sister is, admittenly, attractive and has some acting ability, as well. But other than that, despite all the action, it's a bland, forgettable sitcom that, if we are to believe other comments, will soon join the long list of bland, forgettable TGIF sitcoms that are, have been, and will be canceled quickly and forgotten.

Odd Man Out is a true TGIF show and it shows. Now that is not a bad thing, but the compared to a lot of other shows, it is really out of it's league. This show is of course like the other TGIF shows, past and present, dealing with more family issues instead of what the other shows deal with. But this show is still good. Why the show is getting canned is a complete mystery to me. Of course, so was the cancellation of of another favorite TGIF show, Family Matters.

I've only seen this show 3 or 4 times, but I have to say that I like it a lot more than other shows such as "Sabrina". (the TGIF show that has been running way too long) It has a more unique plot than average, and can be quite funny. Though Keith (Trevor Fehrman) is really the funniest person on the show, not the main character Andrew.It's too bad they're cancelling it. But, of course, the better shows on TGIF are cancelled (remember Teen Angel from a couple years ago?) while the boring and repetative ones live forever.

the show was pretty cool ... the plot was fairly realistic ... the characters were good ... and erik is DAMN fine ...*~cheri the fuelie~*
