    There's no shortage of problems on Monster In-Laws, and the explosive promos for the show would lead you to believe that it will turn out to be little more than a Basketball Wives scream-fest in family form.

    Without sounding disrespectful, it feels pretty routine.

Guilty reality tv viewing and insight into some shameful and disappointing conditions of the family unit. Nice to see some resolution, but the family experts definitely have their work cut out for them as they have to escalate just to get their message through.… Full Review »
