Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
maramoran9 I absolutely love this show, I just wish Jason Jones and Samantha Bee had visited Syracuse before setting part of the show in Syracuse. As always, Syracuse is not portrayed accurately, which is why it is only a 9. Other than that the show is amazing and one of the few shows I watch the same night it airs.
terencecarson Pilots can be deceiving. Sometimes the authors want to do too much, and as a result the show tends to be over the top, frantic and so on. That's why I'm generally willing to give it at least a second chance. Generally, but not this time. I don't see how this sitcom could improve to reach at least the passing grade. I'm not fastidious when it comes to sitcoms, if I can laugh a few times during the 20 minutes time I'm satisfied, unfortunately this was not the case. Let's see then...yes there is bad language, but that doesn't put me off, it's not funny in itself though if not well orchestrated with the other elements of the situations. The idea of a politically incorrect family was good (remember "Stll Standing"?) and a couple of twists in this first episode were promising but the result simply doesn't work. It's difficult to point the finger... writers, director perhaps, certainly not the actors who do their job, I see Natalie Zea always with pleasure, still...Sexually charged dialogues involving children can be hilarious ("Two and a Half Men"), it's just not the case here.
jrxjohn Obviously this show is NOT for everybody, and the humor IS adult in nature ( or indoors ) THAT'S WHY IT'S ON LATE! This show has me constantly laughing out loud, I applaud the writers, actors, and TBS for putting on such a fantastic, funny program! I NOW look forward to the former Death Valley that was Monday Night programming. If you're easily offended, and weekly there will be something that will offend SOMEBODY, DON'T WATCH, CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL! If this program has one chink in the armor ( yes I plagiarized that from the show ) it's only half an hour, but half an hour I WOULD NOT TRADE! Looking forward to all the new episodes!
dean-556 Two of the most idiotic parents (but still among the smartest characters in the show) take their far smarter progeny on a road trip where all the lies of there marriage come to light and where the trust the most important things to the absolutely least trust-able characters the mind of scriptwriter can conceive and what happens is the most predictable slapstick you could ever imagine. I'm sure I would love it - if I were twelve. No vomit or diarrhea yet but you can bet it's coming. Disappointing, but I love Natalie Zea in everything she does, well everything but this. Seriously, I think anyone could write this shtick. Just take any of your favorite characters, put them on a road trip and have them make the worst possible decision in every case. Viola! It's comedy gold!
