    each actor acts like they are not playing together in the same show at the same time. Old sitcom jokes, same old, same old same old.

    The writing is ok, the acting is nickelodeon level and the concept could be interesting if it wasn't such a dishoveled mess. the jokes which could have been funny were all over-acted and fell flat. just wait for thursday and watch my name is earl instead. i can't imagine this show generating any positive buzz and sticking around.

    It does not get much worse than this insipid mess.

    Its writers are clearly addicted to the tired conceit of giving us three jokes per script page, no matter how played-out the jokes, no matter how predictable the pratfalls.

    You get the feeling that if this show is given enough time to find its strengths and understand its characters, it could be around for quite some time.

    It's a good cast, and Arquette's peculiar charm is always welcome. But I'm tired of comedies about the desperate infantilism of panicked adults. [8 Jan 2007, p.35]
