The Kids Are Alright

I absolutely love this show! Growing up not only in a (quarter-Irish) Catholic family, but as a teen in the early 70's, this show is spot-on. The cultural and religious references resonate and the decor and clothes take me back. And it is so funny!! The cast is fabulous, Mary McCormack is fantastic as the no-nonsense mom. The intro of no seat belts, bike helmets, etc. is a hoot and exactly what others in my age group talk about - we we're not raised as hothouse flowers and yet we survived growing up and went on to thrive. Judging by the majority of the other reviews, this is a well-loved show. ABC...are you reading this? Please don't cancel this gem of a show!!

Coming from a big catholic family, this show is spot on!!

One critic suggested this was part Brady Bunch, part That 70's Show, and I agree. Michael Cuditz and Mary McCormack head a delightful cast. They create comic fervor with snippets of pathos into a charming romp about a large, Catholic working class family in Hollywood in the Early 70's.

If you are a child of the 70s then this is the perfect show for you. Great cast, very well written, and funny. Brings back memories of my childhood and some of my friends as well. Hands down one of the best new sitcoms to come out in years

As some have said, it may remind you of The Wonders Years, but it's so much more!! I just watched the 6th episode of Season 1 and there were a good half dozen laugh out loud moments!!
