Outmatched

The writing in this show is aweful. I can do without the canned laughter, which is not timed properly and the director needs to slow the lines down a bit. Everyone seems to be rushing their speech. However, the kids are great, especially Oakley Bull. Love that kid. I will give it a second look, if for no other reason than the show runners are not cramming their political agenda down my throat, which is refreshing.

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'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.

The show has potential once they get past some humps. Yeah the canned laughter sucks but the show is actually decent in parts. Once they get into their groove more I see this show getting better and you can see it as more episodes air.

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