After the 3,000 annoying plugs for this show for days before its premiere, I tolerated this show between the Simpsons and Malcolm. It's period accuracy seems to be left up to the writers' momentary whims. Too bad, the actors seem to be trying very hard, but the scripts are incredibly weak. While "Happy Days," "The Wonder Years" and "That 70s Show" weren't always completely period accurate, they tried very hard and their mistakes were honest ones. Last night was the straw that broke the camel's back ... they played Abba's "Dancing Queen" during dance practice, a full 20 years too early. I have given up and flushed "Oliver Beene" down my sitcom toilet. Bye-bye.

Andy was so cute in the the show i wish he would be in more part but i am just glad he is in it. Oh and the show was really funny i almost feel out of my seat when the dads caught them kissing each other because i was laughing so hard and when the dads were screaming at each other

It's got heart, and that says a lot. I mean the first episode wasn't a stellar premiere, I'll give you that. But the acting is great! The comedy is more family oriented, and it does a great job at accomplishing what it's set out to do. Isn't that what it's all about? I thought the second episode was very funny, and it's so strange that you can't help but love the way the jokes just seem to just fall out of the scene. It's truly a good-hearted show with some serious moments and real chemistry between these actors. Great job!

come on people, this is a good show. yes, it may be similar to the wonder years, but its different. And just as good. Its a generally funny show and its nice to see andrew lawrence (ted) again. I hope this series lasts more then one seaon, its gunna be good.
