Interesting storyline. But mostly entertaining because of Tatum O'Neal's overacting. I grew up watching Tatum and so I do believe that I have some basis for input here. She definitely deserved her Oscar at age 10, but maybe needs a bit of a brush-up on technique. She is very beautiful and has aged very amazingly well. But her acting in this show is unnatural. As far as the program goes, it's a fun concept! However, the shallow typecast characters are sadly underwhelming because there is no intellect to the dialog. Still...entertaining to watch, if only just for the novelty.

Aaugh! Aarons bangs!!

This program felt thrown together. Dry situation comedy with reconstituted dialogue, over the top, unnatural acting and sporting a laugh track right out of the 80s. All this culminating in what felt like a rush attempt to get out a Holiday program. Frankly, I know the development of such programs has advanced much more than this, so it was sad to see this as a final result. I love Dennis Quaid but sadly he seemed uncomfortable and out of his element. So much so that he appeared at times to be in some actual physical pain. I understand that all characters develop over time in any new show, but I found that I had a hard time investing in anyone. Predictable storylines delivered plainly, without originality. Finished watching it to get it off my Netflix queue. Hours I will never get back.
