Run of the House

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....

The show has a really good unique story line that i like. The kids are funny especially Kyle Howard, Mo Gaffney and Joe Lawerence characters. The show, show's great promise to do well but a little more has to happen you know hear a little bit more of the parents. I love it though my mom says that Kyle's character really makes the show but i think really it's all of them and either way i love it. It's funny and fresh and i hope alot of people tune in a watch. Recommended for people who like good story lines and a good HAHA! ~! every now and then.

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!!!!

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.
