Parents need to know
Families can talk about whether TV shows tend to portray married life positively or negatively. What about romance and love? How realistic do you think TV relationships are? Do you believe that every person has one "true" love, or can you love more than one person? How do you know when you love someone? Parents can also share their own stories -- how they met, when they fell in love, the details of their wedding, what they love about each other, etc.

Is it any good?
This delightful show will keep adult viewers in stitches with its sharp writing, brilliant cast, and realistic storylines that bring fresh humor to common situations like meeting a spouse's ex, overcoming little uncertainties in a new marriage, and observing an adult daughter's love life. Palmer and Dench are spot-on choices for these wonderful characters, whose genuine affection for each other is a refreshing highlight to the series. But if your teens roll their eyes at the show (and don't be surprised if they do), invite your spouse to join in the fun with you.
