It took me awhile to warm up to John Larroquette and Christine Baranski, they're both professional and veteran of the sitcom world. Between them, they have about six or seven Emmys maybe more between them. Both John and Christine are wonderful and believable as a veteran married couple to watch even with mediocre material. They are trying and the relationship between Maggie and young Tim is kind of cute and appropriate nowadays. With 8 time Emmy Winner Cloris Leachman casted as Peter's mother, the show is on its way for improvement. Give it a chance or two. If you want to watch two professionals, tune in on Tuesday nights!
