I'm pretty sure that I watched this show as a kid (and as all boys, felt charmed by Miss Kate)... I tried to watch it again now as an adult and well, even if Ricky is a look-alike of my youngest nephew, this is not as good as i expected... However, this 1st season is much better than the last one (5th) and i rate (a little) 7 because there are a lot of good things however and in spite of some episodes are endless even for 24 minutes (E21!)...
The great asset of this show was this mansion that looks like much more as a toys shop than a home! That's why it's cozy here and why later seasons fall because all things were removed!
Next, the show is cool because the people are well dressed: sure you gonna say they look good because they are rich but here no crazy hairs, no tattoos, no sportwear only when needed, no hole jeans, no outrageous clothes: cast wears pants, dresses, shirts, pull-over and they are fine! Actually, people seems to regress and are happy dressing filthy!
At last, the song Together for the opening credits is just so iconic and heart warming!
This season has a better fun than the later. The father is a bit less arrogant and there is some stage set comedy that are funny (E20).
But the stories are not that exciting or gripping. Usually each episode loses punch in endless talks on the sofa...
Following my tradition to pick the best episode, i took this one because it's quite original and has a cool night out scene! E22 was cool because i experienced as well a lot of details: keys on TV, floor that cracks the night,...
