It's an Odd Couple in the today's world -- single dad, self-involved bachelor brother/uncle, and precocious kid. Add to that a soon-to-be ex-wife questioning her sexuality, an overtly-emotional mother, and a stalkeresque neighbor, and you've got a real nut house packed into thirty minutes. With Mel Brooks' pen it might work, but instead, it falls into the sitcom trap of predictable story lines about boy chasing girl and jokes about "boobs" and "poop."

In one episode, both Charlie and Jake share a crush on the same ballet teacher. Charlie bribes Jake into enrolling in a ballet class. Jakes takes a look at her chest and learns to plié. The teacher thinks Jake is cute and soon after, the affection rubs off on Uncle Charlie. He gets his date with this dream girl and is even propositioned, but then realizes that he must honor the male code and forego her proposition. Maybe the creators were hoping for the same kind of success as Full House, with its take on single parenthood. There are many more ways to fill a half hour with your kids -- don't waste your or their time with this.
