Quintuplets

Okay, it's not the best show in the world. It's not even close to being the best show on this summer.

But for anyone out there whose main complaint is that it's not believable because the kids are too different and look nothing like their parents, all I can say is that if you're looking for realism, maybe you need to start watching the History Channel. No one watches a Fox sitcom so they can turn it off afterwards and think, "Well, that was realistic. Very satisfying in its ability to be not at all off-the-wall." Well, it turns out maybe they do.

The show itself needs some work. The jokes are often too obvious, and sometimes "goofy" fails to equal "funny". But it's reasonably addictive, and, overall, a good way to spend a half-hour without having to think or really do anything except just enjoy the simplicity of it all. And maybe it'll get more clever this fall.

I loved the show. I think it is very funny and it has character. I mean the show is full of things that could happen to kids in real life, but things that rarely do happen to kids in real life, so it's fun to watch and enjoy. The show is basically based on the lives of 5 quints, but it has humor to the show.. like having Patton (Ryan Pinkston) build a stripper pole 'to hold up the ceiling' in last night's episode all to get a cell phone. And then the mom, Carol, taking stripping/pole/areobic classes.. just adds more humor to the show. And then in last week's episode with Patton having 'guy problems'. It adds loads of humor to the show.. it's great.

The only thing I dislike about the show, is that the quints look nothing alike. I think the directors could have taken more time to find actors and actresses to fit the parts better.. like looking alike more. But on another note, all of the actors and actresses they chose are all very talented and I love them all. But overall I think Quintuplets is one of the best sitcoms on FOX as of now.

I couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed with ppl who think this show sux. All the characters are hilarious in their own way. I like Paige's diztiness and self-obsession, Penny's snippiness and bitterness, Parker's popularity obsession, Patton's obsession for girls and Pearce's oddness. I also like Carol and Bob because they don't really seem to understand or want to understand the quints.

Anyhow I truly enjoy this show whatever anyone says. It's funny and I really like the highlights of each character. If you don't like this show I think you're missing out a lot. Anyhow this is what I honestly think of the show.

I really enjoy watching this show although it does focus on sex a lot. Usually it is the shorter of the siblings who is focused on seeing a naked female. My favorite character is Peirce (the weird one) as he actually reminds me of one of my own sons. For those who don't like the show...give it a chance. I think the whole idea of a family of quints and their parents is a novel one and deserves a chance. I really enjoyed the episode in which just played recently where the kids are trying to go to a college frat party and the boys wind up naked in the trunk of a car while a college guy is revelling in the "running of the boobs" in Canada. Another funny episode is the one where the family is trying to get a new mini-van by competing against another quint family to do a commercial for the auto company that makes the vehicle. The kids are very good in their roles and the show focuses on their differences in a very entertaining way.

I think they were shooting for Married...With Children territory with this one, but they forgot to make it funny. They also forgot to leave out the "heartwarming, uplifting" dollop of sentiment at the end. The combination of unfunny low humor and unconvincing schmaltz adds up to DON'T WATCH.

Andy Richter is too ironic-sarcastic to fit in with the predictable cute-popular vs. goofy-unpopular teen dichotomy, which is itself far too obvious to be interesting. It doesn't help that the actors playing the kids are marginal at best, and completely unbelievable as siblings. Rebecca Creskoff is a typical sitcom mom, very much like the character she played on Greetings From Tucson.
