I watched until the first commercial break and then instead of FFing I hit delete.

Line of the week! :up: :up:IJustLikeTivo said:
oh, and true!
I added this to my SP on a whim. I actually liked it. Made me laugh several times.
The slouching son is too funny. I made a point to show him to my 17yr old son, "This could be YOU in 5 years!"
SP remains for another week or two.

I liked it, but didn't love it. Will keep it due to the dearth of 30 minute shows on my SP list.
Ever have an actor/actress who played one role which grated you, now you can't stand them in anything? That's Faith Ford for me (whiny Murphy Brown bimbo). Anyway, I liked this show in spite of her. It's not fair I've avoided anything with her in it all these years anyway, so...
Is it typical in marriages that a husband wouldn't be able to just ask his wife what she made with her real estate "hobby?" That was so weird and foreign to me that it was distracting... And I'm married. That and the fact she was talking about flipping houses "in this market" like it's 2005. The lead time on sitcoms isn't very long. Maybe they should've found another profession for the wife. No Realtor doing it as a hobby is buying $400 toasters these days.
The over-the-top silly stuff is what usually ruins comedies for me. Therefore, the popular kid in his underwear was not a highlight for me. Also, the running for a parking spot scenes were waaaay slapstick for my taste. Wow me with the writing and save the physical comedy for the laugh-tracked shows, thank you.
Lastly, the old crappy car pulled me out of the moment as much as Hummers showing up on New Caprica. A professional guy with a family and a nice house in the suburbs is rockin' a late 90s Lexus (was it)!? Time for some very appropriate product placement.
Mostly nitpicks, sure. Still, I liked the show and I'll be back next week.
