Outmatched

A good example of the classic family comedy. We are very longing for such TV series these days.

I've seen worse and I've seen better. It is a good watch if you have nothing else to watch. Maggie Lawson and Jason Biggs are pretty good. Like everyone else, the laugh track is terrible. Basically a Nickelodeon children TV show laugh track.

I really like the parents. The kids are funny. I like the storyline of smart kids and blue collar parents. This is going to be a good family sitcom. I need more.

The writing in this show is aweful. I can do without the canned laughter, which is not timed properly and the director needs to slow the lines down a bit. Everyone seems to be rushing their speech. However, the kids are great, especially Oakley Bull. Love that kid. I will give it a second look, if for no other reason than the show runners are not cramming their political agenda down my throat, which is refreshing.

I have to admit I did not like the first 2 episodes. I found them quite pretentious and the jokes were kind of forced. But I continued watching and it gets much better. It is a nice funny story. The episodes are around 20 minutes each so they never become tiring and boring. Having genius kids is always a struggle because you know you can't provide them enough. I have been there as a child (and my parents did not know how to handle my intelligence,but they tried to support me because intelligence sometimes comes with sentimental unstability and social awkwardness) and now I am facing the challenge with my daughter whose intelligence is off the charts and it scares me that I will not be able to help her reach her full potential (because private schools in my little country are really expensive). So in a way I feel for the kids and I feel for the parents. But even if the topic was not that appealing to me, it is a nice show to watch and relax. It is not to be taken too seriously. I would normally rate it a 6 but after seeing so many bad reviews and so much unreasonable hate , I decided to rate it higher. When you rate something with 1 star, it means that it is really awful/horrible/disgusting/hideous. Is this the case here? NO!!! This is fun series to watch. I do not understand this hatred..
