Quíntuples

I have always been a critic of movies and television. Ever since I was a small child, I could watch a TV show or a movie and decide for myself if it was "GOOD" or "BAD" or "Just O.K." In this intense, scary world that we live in, "QUINTUPLETS" is the perfect remedy for the blues! Why the "reviews" for this show have been so bad, I'll never know. Andy Richter's hilarity is used to perfect effect, especially in his scenes with Patton (Ryan Pinkston) and Pierce (Johnny Lewis), who are the funniest of the Quints, which also includes Penny, Paige, and Parker. I think that people who write in and trash this show are either depressed and unhappy in their own lives, or they are wide-eyed right-wing fanatics wondering what happened to "Leave It To Beaver." Didn't you love the episode where Patton joined the cheerleading squad so that he could be close to the girls, but later quit because he got an erection during every practice? PRICELESS! If you don't find humor in this show, switch over to PAX and watch repeats of "DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN."

I've seen a few episodes now, and I think it's funny. There's some good writing in there, lots of good laughs.

So what if the quints aren't identical? It's not impossible to have fraternal quints. Unlikely, but so is having quints in the first place!

The most recent episode I saw (where they're trying to get a new van) was hilarious. It was great to see Bob ("Bulldog" from "Frasier") guest starring as their competition.

I look forward to seeing more episodes. I enjoy everyone in the cast. Each of the kids is quite a character! Give it a shot, you'll be sure to have some laughs. Great new series.

This show isn't all that bad. Everybody says its horrible and has ruined Andy Richter's career but I watch this show and I like it. I particularly like Ryan Pinkston (Patton). I think that everybody just has to give it a chance because it is a good show and its just as funny as any other comedy. I don't want it to be canceled! I want everybody to give it a chance because once you do you will like it! I don't know why everybody hates this show! But the people who do hate it don't know the difference between good TV and bad TV. I don't have anything against the people who hate this show and want it canceled but they haven't given it a chance yet so of course they're going to hate it. You have to watch a couple episodes first. I watched the first episode and I thought it was just another show, like any other, but then i watched the next episode and I started to like it so I just want people to give it a chance.

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.
