Quintuplets

Okay, it's not the best show in the world. It's not even close to being the best show on this summer.

But for anyone out there whose main complaint is that it's not believable because the kids are too different and look nothing like their parents, all I can say is that if you're looking for realism, maybe you need to start watching the History Channel. No one watches a Fox sitcom so they can turn it off afterwards and think, "Well, that was realistic. Very satisfying in its ability to be not at all off-the-wall." Well, it turns out maybe they do.

The show itself needs some work. The jokes are often too obvious, and sometimes "goofy" fails to equal "funny". But it's reasonably addictive, and, overall, a good way to spend a half-hour without having to think or really do anything except just enjoy the simplicity of it all. And maybe it'll get more clever this fall.

I couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed with ppl who think this show sux. All the characters are hilarious in their own way. I like Paige's diztiness and self-obsession, Penny's snippiness and bitterness, Parker's popularity obsession, Patton's obsession for girls and Pearce's oddness. I also like Carol and Bob because they don't really seem to understand or want to understand the quints.

Anyhow I truly enjoy this show whatever anyone says. It's funny and I really like the highlights of each character. If you don't like this show I think you're missing out a lot. Anyhow this is what I honestly think of the show.

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.

At first i thought this show was crap. then its suckiness made me addicted and now i watch it religiously. it has some really good parts to it. even my sister who couldn't believe i was watching it watched it without me last Wednesday. it has its dumb moments but i really really like it now. the show grows on you i guess. all the actors and actresses are really good and natural. i especially love johnny k lewis i think his name is. He was Gilby on sausage factory. omg and "You like it?" . this show makes me laugh so hard i almost cry. its hilarious. the cheerleading episode where paige said that really mean stuff about the people in the yearbook was so funny. oh and pattons problem. this show is really funny, even though NONE of the quintuplets look remotely alike! i love it so much. its awesome.

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.
