Give it a chance. The first couple episodes are just kinda blah....but the rest of the season delivers more laughs and holiday cheer. Great cast! I love the concept of a Christmas sitcom. Hope to see another season next Christmas! Totally put me in the holiday spirit and reminds us all of the true gift of Christmas is our family.

Give it a chance. It's great to get in the holiday spirit.

If you like the Standard christmas movies you must see this show :)

Like other reviewers the laugh track was a turn off for me. I mean it was simply horrible. If you stay with it you will find yourself really getting interested in the story and characters. The laugh track never gets better but you learn to get past it as the the story arc grows. The ending wraps up really well and teases a second season. I started off saying there would be no season 2 as it was so terrible with the laugh track but now I am looking forward to it. Hoping there is one.

Loved the evolution of this season. Yes first there was the laugh track but after they start developing the characters it falls away. So much you could do with that series....like every season is titled "something something whatever" with a different cast and story every season or a thing like "you may kiss the bride and whatever" and it's a continuous story about the family. Anyways I really enjoyed it

A daughter returns home for the holidays. What follows is a fun and witty, family based comedy. Worth a watch over the holidays.

First scene is lame, but stick with it, as it definitely gets better.

Great cast but I couldn't get past 4 minutes of the show because of the incessant laugh track. If we the viewers don't know when to laugh.....it's not funny. Too bad, it had potential with this cast alone.

I'm not a huge fan of stereotypical Holiday movies, but since this was a show I decided to give it a chance. I'm almost done with the first season and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I also wasn't expecting the laugh-track sitcom style, but it I love it! I really hope this comes back every year :)

I tuned it out but laugh tracks are like nails on a chalkboard and not necessary. The show was cute tho

The laugh track is distracting and plain awful. The show had potential but huge fail.

It gets so much better episode 1 was rough but it's worth the wait keep going

Love to see more of Tyler Ritter. I'm sure he'd shine in more scenes, if he had them. I'm just trying to not think about how relevant this series won't be with its current title in any month before November or after December.

Most annoying added laughter track I have ever heard, we lasted just 5 minutes before it forced us to switch off.

Predictable easy watch show, no where near as funny as the canned laughter. The laughing track almost made me switch off. If you can block that out it is a family friendly amusing Christmas show.

If you took a very good Lifetime Christmas movie and mixed it with an average rom-com movie about Christmas, you would have this series. Its not very original, but I did enjoy it and got a teary eyed a few times. The single season of this show takes place over 10 days at Christmas when one of the daughters returns home.

Dennis Quaid is Don Quinn, the widowed patriarch of a Philadelphia family of grown children who have spent their entire lives trying to please him. He's a sheriff's deputy who is gruff and bullies his kids with the intent of helping them, but has actually caused them to be dysfunctional.

One of his children, Emmy, moved to LA but is returning home for the holiday with her boyfriend, Matt, in tow. Matt intends to ask Don for his blessing to marry Emmy and tries his best to please Don. Daughter Kayla's husband walks out on her in the very first episode and she spends the rest of the season bemoaning marriage and her loneliness. Don's other children are Patsy, a neurotic who is trying to replace their mother, and Sean, who can't seem to live up to his dad. Patsy is married to Todd and they are trying to conceive without much luck. Sean is married to Joy and they have two young boys, Donny and Sean Jr. Nancy is a nurse at the local urgent care center that Don is sweet on.

They pulled out every family conflict trope from every other movie you've seen. The gruff dad, the couple not able to conceive, the child struggling with sexuality, not living up to a parent's expectation, fear of meeting the in-laws, trying to fit in with the in-laws and their years of traditions, gender roles, work interfering with the relationship, what religion to raise the baby, and dating after 50. There is also the required silly misunderstanding leading to a break up when a ten second conversation would have cleared it up. Someone on the production team went down the diversity checklist and realized they didn't have an Atheist character so they made one of the characters declare that as well. Thankfully, they skipped over any political topics or they would have won the award for most tropes in a single show.

Having said all that, the cast does a really good job. While the plot is unoriginal, the characters are fun and I found myself really liking them. The first couple of episodes felt forced, but by episode 3, they seemed to be comfortable. The one original thing I liked were the two spouses who married into the family (Joy and Adam). They call themselves the "Outlaws" and sneak outside during gatherings to or a local bar on Wednesdays to quietly contemplate their lot. They invite Matt to join them and each episode they gather to discuss strategy and share advice.

It only lasted one season and I guess that was enough. The characters were well acted, even if some of them had very little original material to work with. I still liked it and would recommend it for a family with older children as the young ones would probably be bored with it.

Well, hey, too many comments here about the laugh tracks of this sitcom, but if you're allergic to it, you'll be glad to know it died its own death towards the last episode. The show is good family fun. Gave it a solid 7 here only because it took me until episode 5 before I really laughed out loud. Granted I didn't want to waste my time going through the grueling part of adjusting to the first few episodes of forced camaraderie between an ensemble of characters, they saved it midway, and towards the last episodes, Merry Happy Whatever just became more fun. The acting became better (not forced), the punchlines were perfect, and best of all, everything fell into place. Dennis Quaid is pretty much the attraction here, but all supporting characters, like the Outlaws and the siblings were interesting.The show touched --- grazed? glossed over? --- on topics that could have been more seriously explained, but understanding the limitations of time in a sitcom, I'm actually surprised they were able to include homosexuality, religion and divorce as topics. I think the real struggle this show had from the start was bad writing. Thank God it felt like the writing shifted halfway through the series, and instead of focusing on one-liners, Merry Happy Whatever focused more on the humor of having a controlling family. I am looking forward to seeing the next season.

Laughtrack so annoying I couldn't bear to watch it.

Honestly, the first episode is very stiff, and the acting is forced, but as the show moved along, it got better. By the last few episodes, I thought the characters came across much more believable.

Dennis Quaid is great, the rest of the cast is competent and attractive but the cheesy laugh track is so grating and so bad that it makes the show unwatchable. Rip it out and try again with a modern sitcom and this could actually be a decent show.

Everything is extremely exaggerated as it is + there's the fake laugh added to it to make it even worse.

I'm so glad to see Brent and Bridgit back together again. This whole cast is great actually. A real feel good family comedy with lots of heart and laughs. Highly recommend! I am on my second viewing of the series already :)

It's a cute show. It's funny and it's sweet. The laugh track is awful tho. But I'd recommend it for a fun holiday show. Don't think about it too much, it doesn't have great substance, but it's cute

We saw that Dennis Quaid was in this , and as he is usually good value, we took a chance.The shock of seeing a botoxed Quaid came first, the canned laughter second and the excruciatingly annoying characters came a close third. Easily one of the worst TV shows I've seen in a while. Give this one a wide berth.

Love the idea of a family together and celebrating the holidays. I love the cheesy Christmas plot and quirky characters. Elizabeth Hos character Joy is awesome! Disappointed in Dennis Quaid, felt like he was in pain the whole time.

8 for The show. Big point loss for the laugh track. The "outlaws" are the best part of the show. Bring it back without the track. Also, why is the show set in Philly when NOBODY sounds like Philly?
