Run of the House

I really Loved this show! First time i saw the advert for it i must admit i was drawn to it because it starred Joseph Lawrence, but within the first few minutes of the pilot i was hooked!! And I'm so extremely sad that i haven't seen every episode! The characters were really funny and quite realaterble! There was Brooke the youngest of the three siblings, thinking that living with her older siblings without her parents would be awesome but soon learns that it comes with consequences, doing this as she's trying to get through high school. Sally the older sister who is obsessed with fashion and boys! Chris the dumb but lovable brother who has a funny comment for everything and Kurt the oldest who thinks he is in charge of everything now his parents have gone! All the episodes are funny (well all the ones i have seen!!) A lot of people have given this show a really bad review, but i don't see how its a harmless funny show that loads of people enjoyed! And if you didn't like it than you must have no sense f humour because most of it is realistic, so you need to get over yourself if you hated this how!!!

I was delighted to find a show with my two favorite fellas: Joey Lawrence and Kyle Howard, but disappointed at the results. It is just another dull sitcom that may have a bit of sharp wit from time to time, but the writing is just plain horrible. Four siblings living together in their parents house while their folks are off somewhere else. Joey Lawrence plays the oldest brother who constantly tries to instill order in the family. Kyle Howard plays the brainless other brother with nothing but stupid remarks at every pass. There's the beauty queen type older sister and then the rambunctious youngest sister. And from time to time, there's a neighbor who pops in every now and then for some comic relief.

I wouldn't be surprised if the network canceled this show and jammed another nameless, generic, unfunny sitcom in its spot. It's really a lousy show.

The tale of 3 adult siblings caring for their teenage sister in the absence of parents, Run of the House is surprisingly like Party of Five except without the angst and with a much weaker cast. The Run of the House family don't feel like a family. Kyle Howard as Chris makes easily the best impression, but it's difficult to believe he is related to Joey Lawrence and Sasha Barrese. Margo Harshman as the teenage sister has so far suffered from a bland, underwritten role, and Mo Gaffney's "concerned neighbor" is pure dead wood. Howard is worth attention, but I'm not marking my schedule to watch this show in 2004.

It's okay, but I have a prediction. it'll be canceled for Fall 2004. Not as funny as assumed. but it's only a few weeks new....

I was searching the web when i found this site, and i would just like to say that it is great! Now down to business. I have read a lot of negative reviews about this show saying that it is unoriginal etc.... Maybe so, but if somethings not broken, don't fix it. R.O.T.H is using a tried and tested formula for success, and i like it. Just as an example, the HUGELY successful sitcom FRIENDS had many bad reviews when it started and viewing figures were not that good. However, once people saw the brilliance behind it and just how similar some (not all) of the story-lines are to real life it became a cult. I don't think there is a single person on the planet that has not heard of FRIENDS. And just to the moron that said the acting was bad, try it yourself, its hard. If you people that think it sucks think they can do any better, then write your own damn show and see how that turns out. Until that happens keep your negativity to yourselves!!!!
