Some of the reviews here are ridiculous. This is one of the best TV programmes on telly. People cribbing the fact that they have seen the concept before when it's rare to see something unique. The writing is witty and snappy and in Arnett and Smoove it has possibly the two best comedy actors around. Ignore the IMDb score and ridiculous reviews this is an excellent programme, the jokes are clever and there are some nice tie ins with previous jokes. In one scene Nathan (Arnett) gets home to find his best mate Ray (Smoove) in his apartment with Nathans mother, Ray says he is staying in Nathans for a few night and Nathan asks what is wrong with his apartment, Ray says he had a big lady back and he wants to give the memory foam mattress a chance to forget, excellently delivered by the two mentioned actors. Watch a couple of episodes and thank me later
It's a perfectly watchable show. The writing is not too shabby and it is actually pretty funny. J. B. Smoove again proves he can't act or speak, but other then him the acting is good. For the second season they decided that they needed a gay character and that kind of messed up the show.
Yes it was very funny. I am not an American but I the show made me laugh heaps of times. Although it was dumb but it was a great comedy and it was so sad to see there were only two seasons. Wish there could be more because I can't get enough of this. Now there was a new character Kip in S02 so it would be definitely good to see some more about him and the Millers. What wasn't good about the show was that everything was supposed to be hilarious, even sth was very serious (e.g. Family matters) but you ended up laughing in front of screen. Guess we could have made sth that make people think about themselves, being reflective. Anyway, good comedy.
I thought this show was very cute. And I liked how the kids were dealing with older parents who decided to divorce and who hated each other for years. Thought it very relevant.
However, when they brought on Sean Hayes the show went downhill. He just doesn't fit inside the cast. This cast was about a family. Mom, dad, a son and a daughter. And Daughters small family. It worked so well. I have no idea where "Kip" is supposed to fit in. I called it an 8 out of 10 and that was without Sean. With Sean, a 6 out of 10. I think more just need to see it.
How can 2 broke girls with their senseless sarcasm and sexual constant quips be so big and this gem is on the sidelines?

Will Arnett may have finally struck gold with this comedy. He plays Nathan Miller, newly divorced reporter, in an unspecified East Coast city. His parents are played by Emmy winners Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale who is a scene stealer. His parents have split after 43 years of marriage. His father is a klutzy mess who manages to cause messes like a child. He moves into their previous home who is being rented out to his daughter and son-in-law. Nathan gets momma at his place. She can be too much too handle at times. She is bossy and interferes in her son's life. She is also so lonely that the viewers see through the facade. The show was created by Greg Garcia who has created "Raising Hope" and "My Name is Earl" sitcoms. He really grasps family dysfunction into comedy. Hope this show lasts a long time and will with cast and crew.
