Retired at 35

IF: - You are new to the world of sitcoms - You are easily amused - You are about 15 years old in mind or body - You are too tired to change the channel - You are curious what this thing is like after the non-stop flogging/hookup with Hot In Cleveland commercials - You are alone in the house and want some kind of noise so it doesn't feel so echo-y and empty - Yearn for something that isn't vampires/lawyers/reality shows

THEN, my friends, this show is for YOU!

35 year old wearies of working,'retires', moves in with comical (separated) mom and/or dad, blahblahblah. Of course mom and dad are still zesty, active (though the mom looks about 40 and the dad looks about 70), full of vim and vigor, enjoying life far more than their son, and diving head first into dating, potty talk, innuendo, and blabbing about S-E-X. Without a scrap of wit, originality, or humor. Just kind of embarrassing and dull. If you think this is the "family show" you have been yearning for, you are wrong. A carbon copy of a carbon copy of a carbon copy of ... well, any dumb 'racy' sitcom from the past 30 years... In real life, Dad would be a bitter old crank after a heart attack and Mom would be a bitter old crank with the beginnings of dementia, and sonny boy would be run ragged trying to get home health aides in so he can catch a break. No, this is some senior citizen's fantasy of what life should be. Derp!

The show focuses on David Robbins (Johnathon McClain), a young man who abruptly quits his job and moves in with his parents (portrayed by George Segal and Jessica Walter) at their retirement community.

The writing for the show is awful. The show lacks creativity. Most of the jokes are unoriginal or mediocre 1-liners. George Segal and Jessica Walter are talented, but the lines they are given are not funny. McClain's acting is okay, but nothing great.

Since the pilot, the show has only made minor improvements. The later episodes of the first season are not quite as terrible as the pilot, but the show has not improved enough to become worth watching.

I enjoy the set, setting and premise of this show. I don't care if it's unrealistic as some critics say. Please, how much TV is realistic??? For me it has an all around positive, upbeat feel, which I look for. I am not at all interested in the dark, brooding dramas. Life has plenty of that. Plus this is the kind of show that helps me escape reality every now and then. I find it soothing and cute and have literally laughed out loud on occasion. So happy and relieved to see it back on TV as I was missing it. George Segal and Jessica Walter have great chemistry and I love the entire cast. I particularly enjoy the friend's goofy simplemindedness and the cheesy and fun-loving character that Christine Ebersole plays. It's an 'escape' kind of show, and who doesn't need a little escape every now and then. Hope to see them around for a while.

Being a fan of George Segal's old movies I wanted to like this but can't beat a dead horse anymore. It is now in its second season and I tried to watch it again thinking that maybe it got better. Sadly, I could not have been more wrong.

There is no timing or flow to their dialog or interactions. If you just sit and watch you can almost see each of them running their lines and stage directions in their heads. When one person finishes speaking there is an unnatural pause and then it is like the other person "wakes up" to the fact that they must respond either with verse or action.

To each their own little bubble and they never connect. No chemistry, no comedic talent and poor direction. Bury it already it is really starting to stink to high heaven.

The show has some promise in a "not to root for" kind of way but I was desperate. But when the main character sleeps with his love interest's mom/his father's soon to be girlfriend, that was when I knew it wasn't going to score higher than a 3. But I was still hopeful thinking it'll be a 3. It went ahead to prove that no matter how bored you, there are shows that are just not worth watching.

They put a bunch of great actors together to star in a useless shows. And yes I turned off my tv and headed straight to IMDB
