Good Comedy
My family and I have been watching this show since it first aired. We really love Alex (Bonnie Somerville), what a wholesome young talent. She is a first rate actress, and we hope to see more of her in the future. Look out Hollywood, she is the next Sandra Bullock.
So much potential, so little pay-off.
Tonight was premiere night and I was actually looking forward to this new comedy on NBC. Jean Smart and Dennis Farina are very funny veterans and two talented newcomers seemed to be primed for success. Unfortunately, there were only moments of clever dialogue interwoven in tired old re-hashed stories with predictable outcomes. All in all, the first two episodes, which were both aired tonight, didn't leave me wanting more. I'll give it a few more shows, however I see this being canceled by the middle of the second season if not sooner unless serious revamps occur.
Not bad, but can the joke last?
I caught the series premiere of this show and I have to admit it wasn't too bad. I'm just wondering if the over-used Mike Stivic-Archie Bunker dynamic can survive. In any event, it's worth a shot to give this show a chance, especially when Dennis Farina is on-board.
Will be cancelled soon. Simply too cliched/awful!
Why do networks show us repetitive 'comedies' such as this? How could the actors be sincere when they talked about this show in the promos? Surely they understood how bad it was?!
Hackneyed predictable storyline, and a host of the same situations seen over and over again since the 1970s....

Not Funny
What was NBC thinking?! This new comedy does NOT I repeat, NOT make me laugh whatsoever. They keep on using jokes that have been used in 1976 and have retired since Nightmare on Elm Street.(1984,folks) NBC is funny enough with Saturday Night Live.

- TriviaThis series, a co-production between NBC and Paramount, was inspired by Meet the Parents.
In 2004, NBC merged with Universal, which distributed Meet the Parents and its sequel Meet the Fockers in North America. 2 years later, Paramount acquired DreamWorks, which handled international distribution of both films. Paramount would distribute the second sequel, Little Fockers, internationally in 2010.
Conversely, the US rights to this series are held by CBS which acquired the Paramount TV properties in 2006 (both Paramount and CBS are now part of ViacomCBS), while the international rights are held by NBCUniversal.
