Quintuplets

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.

I've seen a few episodes now, and I think it's funny. There's some good writing in there, lots of good laughs.

So what if the quints aren't identical? It's not impossible to have fraternal quints. Unlikely, but so is having quints in the first place!

The most recent episode I saw (where they're trying to get a new van) was hilarious. It was great to see Bob ("Bulldog" from "Frasier") guest starring as their competition.

I look forward to seeing more episodes. I enjoy everyone in the cast. Each of the kids is quite a character! Give it a shot, you'll be sure to have some laughs. Great new series.

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.

I loved the show. I think it is very funny and it has character. I mean the show is full of things that could happen to kids in real life, but things that rarely do happen to kids in real life, so it's fun to watch and enjoy. The show is basically based on the lives of 5 quints, but it has humor to the show.. like having Patton (Ryan Pinkston) build a stripper pole 'to hold up the ceiling' in last night's episode all to get a cell phone. And then the mom, Carol, taking stripping/pole/areobic classes.. just adds more humor to the show. And then in last week's episode with Patton having 'guy problems'. It adds loads of humor to the show.. it's great.

The only thing I dislike about the show, is that the quints look nothing alike. I think the directors could have taken more time to find actors and actresses to fit the parts better.. like looking alike more. But on another note, all of the actors and actresses they chose are all very talented and I love them all. But overall I think Quintuplets is one of the best sitcoms on FOX as of now.

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.
