It is a very funny, light hearted, good natured show. However, it is showing its age, and some of the more decade specific and cheesy stuff is wearing thin. But, it is still very funny, especially specific scenes. Even though some characters have attitudes that people today would frown upon (Mr. Roper's relationship with Helen for example, in one episode they have a fight over her allowance) they generally have their heart in the right place. Women are objectified, and it should be noted it was written and produced by all men for at least the first few seasons (then one woman writer was added) but despite this intentions are good, and the characters really care for one another. I think it is the perfect show for young tweens and teens who are just starting to watch shows not aimed specifically at kids.
