    The show... is juvenile, vulgar, and crude, and yet, I still think it contains more sparks of originality than TV's top-rated comedy, "Two and a Half Men."

    A mildly amusing way to spend a half an hour.

    Like many post-Curb Your Enthusiasm unscripted series, Home has sloppy, lip-service plots with scattered inspired moments, but nothing that makes a satisfying whole. [16 Mar 2007, p.64]

    It has moments that are semi-inspired, just not nearly enough of them in the first two installments.

    "Halfway House" is occasionally amusing but the characters are not well-formed.

    Watching real people undertake these artificial relationships can be entertaining; watching really, really fake people do it is just dispiriting.

    I watched this show a couple times and from what I have seen, it's nothing special. Comedy Central brings out some boring shows because I watched this show a couple times and from what I have seen, it's nothing special. Comedy Central brings out some boring shows because they tend to be humorous for people who have horrible sense of humors. This show is just boring, idiotic, and not funny. Does every show like this have to throw in a elegant racist, enraged fat woman who likes food, a black man who steals stuff, a gay mexican, etc. Why? simply this show is horrible. Comedy Central really needs to jump the gap here and make some good TV shows.… Full Review »
