Your Family or Mine

This show is just awful.

It is amazing that anything this dreadfully bad would ever be made into a series, even on TNT. It features some of the worst writing in the History of American television.

There is not one even remotely new idea. The jokes, the characters, even the plots, have been seen so many times, in so many different series. The entire series has a "been there seen it all before" tone to it.

Veteran Actors like Richard Dryfuss shoot embarrassed looks into the camera. TNT could air a better program by recycling "Different Strokes" reruns.

Pass on this stinkeroo - you will be glad you did.

You gotta love TV in the '10s. Say 'blow job' a lot, throw in some 'shittys,' and you are pushing that envelope! Pathetic. I hate to sound like some geezer yelling at kids, but come on. I'm not offended by the language itself, but how it seems intended to stand in for actual, you know, writing.

Family situations can always be mined for decent comedy, even after all this time. And the cast is pretty good. But really ... it seems the producers and writers just don't have the chops, maybe because they're all 25-35 years old and have seen too much garbage, and mistaken it for quality.

This show has so many comedic situational possibilities but instead the writers can't get their minds off sex - honestly these great actors really need to demand a better caliber of writing. I get wanting to push the envelope but honestly after 5 jokes about sex you realize that its no different than 2 1/2 men, 2 broke girls, HIMYM except they go further and say blow job instead of insinuating it.

What was great about shows like Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens, Friends, Sienfeld was the innuendo - if they actually said masturbation instead of master of my domain do your really think it would have been funny? I am a huge fan of Reno 911 and when I got the 1st season as a gift I was hoping the bleeping would remain in place, which it did, because that is what made it funny - FYI I swear like a trucker.

The acting is unconvincing, and the subject matter forcibly emphasizes the topic of sex, to the point where it defeats the purpose); while these factors are common in some contemporary sitcoms, this show takes them to an extreme. Also, the writing lacks creativity - the word "shitty" was used to describe a kid's drawing on the show, the dialogue and script was far too canned and contrived, the plot was predictable and simultaneously felt very unnatural (even for a sitcom), and it was flat-out boring, as the plot pandered about a singular menial premise. Judging by the trailers advertising this show leading up to its premiere, I didn't have such high hopes for this show, but I decided to give it a chance anyway - I came away very disappointed.

I watch sitcoms on a regular basis, and as far as this show goes, it falls decisively flat on its face. It's bad enough that the writing and acting are both terrible, but the plot and premise are also pointless - I will be very surprised if the show is renewed for a second season.

Nice sitcom, tightly written .. the plot is good so far, i felt the comedy through the tension in the "Weston" family .. it's called "Your Family Or Mine" and they presented one side of the story so i think there's still more to it. So the storyline seems to be okay for a pilot ,, there were a hand full of comedy bits, i smiled i giggled .. it's the pilot so they're probably testing the audience taste but generally there off to a good start.

Yet i think they need to bring out more variety to the show , or lets say more eventful sets ,,, i mean the whole pilot was in two rooms the kitchen and the living room so i believe they need to show more sets which reflects more stories.

As a new comedy it is a huge thing that they got to be distributed by tbs so they must'v seen something special in it .,.

The casting was fine, Kat Foster is allover TV lately "Franklin & Bash","Bad Teacher", "The Goodwin Games" and even in "Royal Pains" before that ,, so they knew she's gonna be good in here ,, same goes for "Kyle Howard" from "Royal Pains" they'r making a good couple here,

so overall the pilot went okay ... lets see how it's gonna get for the couple next episodes.
