Leah Remini: It's All Relative

When they announced the show was coming on, I couldn't wait. Well, it was everything I had hoped for. Leah's Mom, sister, daughter, nanny, and adorable Angelo and cute as a button George couldn't have been better if they were picked from central casting. I love that there are 2 new shows every Thursday night, but that's not enough. I want more. When Leah was thrown off "The Talk", I stopped watching. They were stupid for getting rid of her, why, because she had personality and a sense of humor, and took some of the focus off Julie Chen? Enough about that,,, now, Leah should be a host on "The View",,, but that might not work with her new show.. So...Love Love the show....On to more seasons...

Look, this show is not the King of Queens (KOQ). Stop looking for that. It's Leah. Simply and plainly put. Leah and her family make light of themselves and their life in Hollywood. All they ask is that you watch, laugh a little and enjoy. This show is absolutely funny and enormously refreshing. There isn't any sleeping around, fighting, drunken stupidity or excessive dangerous situations that teach people (especially younger viewers) that even you can be famous and wealthy if you are a drunken, no talent skank. Above all, there is no need for subtitles when someone is speaking English. This show is a CHARACTERTURE of a real Hollywood family that doesn't take themselves too seriously. They hold it all together when other celebrities and their families are falling apart. They love each other, laugh and have fun. Leah has eccentricities that people can relate. The thought of getting older, our weight, our looks and the safety and well being of our children all manifest itself in a light and relatable way. NO reality show is completely real (I know, it's like finding out there's no Santa Claus). Leah's show is most likely no different. Watch it for what it is. Real fun...PERIOD. My kids and I love Carrie Heffernan. But when we want to watch Carrie, Doug and Arthur, we watch KOQ. I suggest you do the same.

Having watched the first two episodes of this new offering by TLC, I love it. Imagine a cross between "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List".

Leah and family don't bother with ignoring the cameras. They talk to the crew, they talk to us through the cameras, they sit down and discuss (with us) the events of the day. It has the feel of a real-life sitcom where the actors make asides to the audience.

Leah is the wise-cracking wife that we have come to love in "King of Queens". Seriously, did she write all her own lines on that show? She is versatile as a comedienne. One moment she is the stand up comic doing her shtick, the next she is playing straight man to one of her family members.

About her family, she says, "We are loud...annoying...judgmental..." That pretty much describes most sitcom families. She calls her husband Angelo "The Silver Fox". They have a give and take relationship. He takes her grief and he gives it back to her. Their daughter, Sofia, is a budding comic. She offers some of the best lines.

Leah's parents are Vicki and George. Vicki may remind you of Kathy Griffin's mother. In the second episode, they give her faux funeral eulogies that are half roasts and half tearful tributes. This is a close family full of love.

Shannon and William are the sister and brother-in-law. Shannon has some of the family comedy genes. They laugh about their sisterly competitiveness.

The nanny is Trish. Did they pick her up at Central Casting, because she seems to be a hoot.

The Remini's have some famous friends. Cheryl Burke from "Dancing With the Stars" is a personal friend. I have always enjoyed her on that show. Other famous friends appear at the party they throw to celebrate those who stuck by them when they left the Church of Scientology. Some serious moments are spent discussing the church and its strict, controlling rules.

It must be a hilarious experience to be a member of the film crew. I am looking forward to more of Leah and her family. Can we possibly hope that Jennifer Lopez or some other friends drop by to hang out with Leah and her irrepressible brood?

Love the show, Leah, family and friends - hilarious and warm. I hope it starts up again.

Was bored and came across this reality show and it's HILARIOUS. It's not a lot of unscripted reality shows out Leah's whole family and and friends are crazy and entertaining to watch. I'm mad that tlc is canceling the show after two seasons, It may have gotten backlash with the whole scientology issue, but it still received good reviews They definitely need to take this to another network.
