It's a nice show, full of normal and natural happenings and moral conclusions. Characters are all different and interesting in their own way. It's not the best show ever, but it's definitely one of the best family sitcoms of all time, a show that will bring you back to the early 90s, a time when everything was simple. I miss those days.Too bad that they don't do such shows nowadays, comedies these days are all dolled up, fake, forced, unattractive characters, somehow intensive and in general don't provide you with the chill happy feeling that those old shows like Step By Step or Alf brought to us.

Not sure where to even begin but I'll try to get right down to it and point out some, if not all of the details of why this is my least favorite of one of ABC's former sitcoms during the once lived TGIF lineup. But also to finally get the opportunity to let out the frustration that I had been building up in my system for so long and to finally let it out.First off this show is nothing short then a clicheish modern style "Brady Bunch" parody that does not (Or ever) even deliver. It's basically a sitcom (Or aleast is trying to be one) that is trying to be funny (Which is saying a lot) but to no avail. Whatever the show display something that is supposively funny it ends up being something that is not only absolutely not funny but just something that ends up being nothing more than classless, distasteful and just downright obnoxious not to mention annoying. Can't possibly imagine anyone in the live audience even with only limited amount of common sense or a severely short amount of an attention span would laugh at the supposive jokes or even thought they were even funny.Plus the show has practically in almost every episode through all seven seasons or just the entirety of the whole series in general is nothing more than an insult fest and it's nearly impossible to find let alone, watch through an episode without hearing a line that relates to insults, name-callings, berations, and put-downs that got so overly done it instantly becomes redundant, again... Going back to not mentioning it being annoying.But the show's biggest flaw of all was it's stereotypical nature that is especially in regards to the characters. The plot of the series or what was revealed in the pilot episode is two single parents each of them with three kids of their own and when they tie the knot without any of their kids having any knowledge of it things get chaotic real fast much to the UNDISMAYED to the parents.And here are the main cast in stereotypical order: Frank Lambert: An assertive joe kind of guy Carol Foster: An enabling and somewhat passive type of woman The Foster/Lambert kids: Diana Foster: An overachieving feminine activist of some-sort Karen Foster: A materialistic drama queen Mark Foster: The socially awkward nerd J.T. Lambert: The fun loving slacker Al Lambert: The tomboyish tough girl/bitch Brenden Lambert: The carefree type (I think) Lily Foster Lambert: The cute kid and the youngestSupportive cast: Cody Lambert: The valley dude type and the supposive "Steve Urkle" of the show Jake Gordon: The goofballish short lived replacement for Cody Jean-Luc Rieupeyroux: Some french guy But they are other flaws this show consist on such as trying to explore, borrow elements and living up to the decade the show was aired in it's entirety which happens to be the 90's in the most clicheish fashion possible. Even trying so hard (Apparently to no avail) to be like other dysfunctional family style sitcoms during that time such as "The Simpsons" and "Married, with Children". And like other sitcoms the show even try to dwell on everyday issues that actually end with moral lessons but inspite of the best attentions those moral lessons are quickly forgotten within the next episode along with those same moral lessons being repeatedly established in later episodes. In other words... An episode give a moral lesson for the characters to learn from and after learning from that lesson it becomes forgotten then in later episodes that process is repeated over.Oh, and one other thing... I should also mention that (And brace yourself for this one) live action versions of Beavis & Butthead actually show up on this show like three times in a row. Yeah, you may want to let that sink in for a moment after reading that last illustration!Bottomline... This show is not really worth watching, taking a look at or giving it any chance whats-so-ever is out of the question. It's not only a show that's nothing but a full on insult fest but also a full annoyance that would instantly insult the intelligence of even the most average of viewers.So there you have it... Take it for what it is!!!

I think "Step by Step" is one of the best TV-series I've ever seen. One of the things that make it so good is that the happening is so normal. It's a perfectly normal family, with perfectly normal family-problems. Just like "F*R*I*E*N*D*S", "step by step" has this wonderful gallery of different personalities. Friendship against different personalities makes one of the best kinds of humor the world have ever seen. "Step by Step" is very helpful, it tells us about problems and dilemmas everyone can get, and it tells us about it with this GREAT sense of humor! The actors are fantastic and the happening is fabulous! There might come other series about families like the Foster-Lambert family, but even if it's funnier, cooler or smarter, it would not be the same, and it'd only one reason why it can't be the same as "step by step": IT'S NOT "STEP BY STEP"!! It's a shame this fantastic show was canceled, but in some countries (my native land Norway, till example) you can still see the episodes on TV every day.If you haven't seen "step by step" you have missed a lot of fun!!

"Step By Step," while not the greatest TV show ever, was certainly not the worst! It wasn't a bad little show. Those people who never saw the show, and are looking to the user comments here in order to find out whether or not the show was any good, there's a message to be found in all the negative comments that have been posted here. It should be noted that in those bashing reviews that the grammar is so atrocious and that so many of the words are misspelled. What does that tell you?And, to all you super critics, you're not fooling anyone by your use of BIG words like "targeted", "innuendo", "propaganda", "relegated", etc. For people who seem to know so much about what makes a great comedy series, Why aren't they writing great ones and dazzling us all with all their Emmys?
