(This review applies to the two episodes aired on 11/15/08 at 8/7c.) I thought this show wasn't really funny, but it wasn't the worst thing ever. I can see how this show may be cheesy because it is, in a way. It's like watching an ABC sitcom from the '90s. With that said, this show isn't as inappropriate as it used to be. There was brief mild sexual innuendo and brief mild language. I think 8+ is okay for this show, this season.

Story of our life....
I have been married for 22 years and have 2 teens and a 4 yr old. This show is funny (not as funny as I would have expected from the comedian). My family enjoys watching (although it is after the 4 yr old is in bed). We have dealt with almost every issue this show has dealt with so far and we handled it pretty much in the same manner. It reminds me of our life and when my teens are gone...I hope this show is still on so I can relive it and not feel so empty nested. I give it a TWO THUMS UP! I Tivo it so we can re-watch it throughout the week until the next episode comes on. Thanks for the great family comedy!

One might think that Bill Engvall would have a hilarious sitcom based on his standup work, but he doesn't.

Typical family comedy
Just what the title says. It is a typical set up-Mom, Dad, two boys and one girl, teen issues, blah blah blah. It's light-hearted, good for the whole family. Unoriginal, but has its funny moments.
