Quintuplets

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.

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.

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 have always been a critic of movies and television. Ever since I was a small child, I could watch a TV show or a movie and decide for myself if it was "GOOD" or "BAD" or "Just O.K." In this intense, scary world that we live in, "QUINTUPLETS" is the perfect remedy for the blues! Why the "reviews" for this show have been so bad, I'll never know. Andy Richter's hilarity is used to perfect effect, especially in his scenes with Patton (Ryan Pinkston) and Pierce (Johnny Lewis), who are the funniest of the Quints, which also includes Penny, Paige, and Parker. I think that people who write in and trash this show are either depressed and unhappy in their own lives, or they are wide-eyed right-wing fanatics wondering what happened to "Leave It To Beaver." Didn't you love the episode where Patton joined the cheerleading squad so that he could be close to the girls, but later quit because he got an erection during every practice? PRICELESS! If you don't find humor in this show, switch over to PAX and watch repeats of "DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN."

but not the best sitcom on TV. I like it. It's funny and entertaining, but a little cheesy at times. It's definitely better than most of the reality crap that's aired these days. Everyone says that it has ruined Andy Richter's career, I tend to disagree. Just give it a chance, every show gets better with age. "Worst sitcom ever?" Method & Red anyone?

And for those who say it's unrealistic because the kids don't all look alike? Get over it. It's just a show, it's not supposed to be taken that seriously.

And for those who say it's bad and should be cancelled immediately? Just change the channel.
