Seen it all before...

Every sitcom gag that's been overdone (including newlyweds move in with parents) since 'I Love Lucy', freshened up for the new millennium with the good old stand-by: sexual gags. This piece of trash jumped the shark with the first episode.

Not bad, but can the joke last?

I caught the series premiere of this show and I have to admit it wasn't too bad. I'm just wondering if the over-used Mike Stivic-Archie Bunker dynamic can survive. In any event, it's worth a shot to give this show a chance, especially when Dennis Farina is on-board.

Funniest new show of the season...

Until I read a preview in a magazine (I believe it was FHM) that called this the best new comedy of the season I was not prepared to give it a chance. Thankfully I did. Dennis Farina is hilarious as Victor Pellet. His character is complicated and well-developed. I would love to see this show moved to Thursdays in lieu of the dreadful "Good Morning Miami". That would make for a night of truly Must-See TV.

Not Funny

What was NBC thinking?! This new comedy does NOT I repeat, NOT make me laugh whatsoever. They keep on using jokes that have been used in 1976 and have retired since Nightmare on Elm Street.(1984,folks) NBC is funny enough with Saturday Night Live.

Will be cancelled soon. Simply too cliched/awful!

Why do networks show us repetitive 'comedies' such as this? How could the actors be sincere when they talked about this show in the promos? Surely they understood how bad it was?!

Hackneyed predictable storyline, and a host of the same situations seen over and over again since the 1970s....

Trivia
This series, a co-production between NBC and Paramount, was inspired by Meet the Parents.

In 2004, NBC merged with Universal, which distributed Meet the Parents and its sequel Meet the Fockers in North America. 2 years later, Paramount acquired DreamWorks, which handled international distribution of both films. Paramount would distribute the second sequel, Little Fockers, internationally in 2010.

Conversely, the US rights to this series are held by CBS which acquired the Paramount TV properties in 2006 (both Paramount and CBS are now part of ViacomCBS), while the international rights are held by NBCUniversal.
