Detractors of the series say it was "merely" a knockoff of Married With Children (which is like criticizing a sci-fi film for being similar to Star Wars) but a 4-year run is not bad for any comedy in this era. I felt that Addy and Gertz had both chemistry and comic timing. He could take prime steak and make it seem like hamburger. And she could do the exact opposite. In other words, perfectly matched, counterpointed, and making for a comfy little comedy where you looked at the characters like an extended family. The best episode was the one where the ignored and under-appreciated daughter played by Renee Olstead imagines herself on a nightclub stage bashing out a blues tune -- and does a fantastic job because she is a singer in real life -- and then gets completely ignored by the rest of the family ... again! Under-rated. Fun.

If this is on the TV then I would watch it, if there was nothing else on. It does make me laugh at some points, but when The Father (Mark Addy) or the Daughter (Jennifer Irwin) talk I just wish to cover my ears. Mark Addy's attempt at an American accent is horrible, some words that come out of his mouth he is clearly English. Still, even though Mark Addy's accent is the worst I've heard his still does make me laugh.But Jennifer Irwin...URGH. She is a terrible actress, her facial expressions never show emotion, and her voice...I know she doesn't have a lisp, so why does she sound like she has one? Asides from the cast all in all I'd say the show is funny, I laugh a lot. How ever would I miss The Office for Still standing? - NO.

I had held off ever watching this show for just one reason. Mark Addy is English. After seeing him in The Full Monty, watching him try to 'do' an American accent was just too painful.Then, drunk one night, I watched this show and kicked myself. This show is hilarious and the timing of the main characters is spot-on. They are just like most people which is why I think I like the show. They are just like me and my husband. I have my DVR set to tape the show WHENEVER it is on!Excellent show and once I've finished writing this, I am going to Amazon to see if there are DVD collections of the show.

"Still Standing" is the funniest family sitcom since "Roseanne." Every episode made me laugh. It's a shame it got canceled. Judy has got to be the funniest sitcom mom every. I love her sarcasm. Her relationship with her mother-in-law is priceless. I think most women can relate. The kids are great, too. Brian is the perfect nerd....he just makes you shake your head. Lauren is the epitome of a popular teenage girl....lying to her parents and dating the bad guys. Tina takes after her mother with her sarcasm, which is adorable because she's so young, but it's not annoying like most little kid actors that try to be sarcastic. And let's not forget Linda. Her wackiness just adds to the dysfunction. I love it! Bring "Still Standing" back!!!!
