    A network situation comedy that is genuinely funny doesn't come along every weeknight at 8:30, or most weeknights at 8:30, and even if the producers passed on the most obvious title—"Post-Modern Family"—their new "Extended Family" has legs. Jokes. Jon Cryer's scrupulous comedic timing. And a premise that even 20 years ago would have had the old Legion of Decency writhing on the floor: happy divorce.

    Very 1980s in his approach to storytelling. .... O’Malley has a bunch of balls in the air (we still can’t figure out why the washer/dryer combo is in the kitchen) and a nimble cast to juggle them. Spencer is the real surprise, able to volley jokes just as well as Faison and Cryer. The kids are pretty sharp, too.
