I'm going to miss this show. Seems that people had somewhat different takes on the show. But for me it was about an imperfect, but surprisingly familiar family making its way through life with its everyday concerns, humor, and disappointment. It was special.

Louis Anderson is the standout in this series. While Zach Galifianakis is a good actor in his own right, he is great here.. But Louis Anderson is outstanding. His performance makes me want him to be my mom.

The writing, acting, production and direction of this black comedy are fantastic. I realise for anyone looking for an uplifting experience it won't be your cup of tea, but for those with a particular sense of humour it'll be thoroughly addictive.

If you're a fan of Louis CK in general and especially if you enjoyed Horace and Pete you'll love this. It's a great tip of the hat to concept of the sad clown. I also think if you'll find something in this if you liked The Office. Zach Galifianakis's character reminds me of Michael Scott in many ways.

As with any TV show, don't rely on a review, check it our for yourself! :)

But a 9 for Louie Anderson's performance! I almost didn't watch because I've never been a fan of Louie and him playing a woman?!? Well he was fantastic! It felt real! Never like he was playing a part. Is this funny? Well at times. I laughed mostly at louie's subtleness . He was so real. I liked Penolope as well. Very good series I did not think I'd like as much as I did but kudos to Louie as he made this series.

Casting Louie Anderson as the mother is pure genius! His portrayal adds an extra layer to the series.
