    The truth is that Rob is a rather funny sitcom about the cultural collisions that occur every day in an increasingly blended America.

    CBS has churned out yet another lowest-common-denominator sitcom.

    The only times Rob flirts with funniness are when the stereotypes get turned around

    The humor in Rob is broad, occasionally rollicking, not very clever or sophisticated, but some of it works well enough to keep the show going.

    This needs to evolve into a smarter, less formulaic show before it's worth watching.

    There are lots of swings and misses amid the direct hits. And that's pretty much the way it is with Rob.

    It's lame and tin-eared.

    Despite the general mediocrity of the show's dialogue, these are potentially endearing comic characters played by (mostly) excellent comic actors.

    Rob might be a lot things, but "smart" isn't an adjective apt to crop up frequently in connection with it.
