Outmatched

I've seen worse and I've seen better. It is a good watch if you have nothing else to watch. Maggie Lawson and Jason Biggs are pretty good. Like everyone else, the laugh track is terrible. Basically a Nickelodeon children TV show laugh track.

It's a cute, harmless show. The second episode shows promise and the cast are good. You don't need Tichina for token casting though.

Unsure why all the haters are complaining (yet again) about the laugh track... why do these fools watch a sitcom if the laugh track is going to drive them into bitterness? Isn't that what most sitcoms have?

I have to admit I did not like the first 2 episodes. I found them quite pretentious and the jokes were kind of forced. But I continued watching and it gets much better. It is a nice funny story. The episodes are around 20 minutes each so they never become tiring and boring. Having genius kids is always a struggle because you know you can't provide them enough. I have been there as a child (and my parents did not know how to handle my intelligence,but they tried to support me because intelligence sometimes comes with sentimental unstability and social awkwardness) and now I am facing the challenge with my daughter whose intelligence is off the charts and it scares me that I will not be able to help her reach her full potential (because private schools in my little country are really expensive). So in a way I feel for the kids and I feel for the parents. But even if the topic was not that appealing to me, it is a nice show to watch and relax. It is not to be taken too seriously. I would normally rate it a 6 but after seeing so many bad reviews and so much unreasonable hate , I decided to rate it higher. When you rate something with 1 star, it means that it is really awful/horrible/disgusting/hideous. Is this the case here? NO!!! This is fun series to watch. I do not understand this hatred..

I generally like light themed comedy shows with a feel good factor.

Pros: 1. Decently funny. They aren't trying to overdo it. 2. Biggs and lawson seem relatable and its fun watching them together. 3. The acting is good across the cast.

Cons: The writing on the show can definitely improve and they often tread unoriginal story lines.

A good example of the classic family comedy. We are very longing for such TV series these days.
