    It is very funny and charming despite the of course extremely annoying Dad character. But this is a very good edition to television. And of course it won't be remembered.

    Ritter is still quite adept at broad, keep-it-simple comedy, and this one plays to his strengths. [17 Sep 2002]

    It has a few naughty jokes, lots of good-looking youngsters, and is watchable family-entertainment. [17 Sep 2002]
