    Just the commercials for this show make me want to poke my eyes out.

    so glad it was cancelled , either put Price and her cleavage back in the programs for adolescent boys like grounded for life, or tell her she should get busy and be a stay at home mom instead of boring us.

    David Spade and the rest of the cast have absolutely no comedic talent at all. And boy does it show in this cliche, superficial, artificial, piece of .... one of the worst shows on television.

    Is David Spade the most annoying human being alive?

    It will be interesting to see how long people can watch Patrick Warburton's dead pan delivery before they get tired of it and tune out. The only character that I find remotely interesting is Jeff's wife. I think this actress has some possibilities.

    This show would be a whole lot more believable if David Spade's character was actually played by an ATTRACTIVE man! There is no way on earth that he could be half as much of a stud-muffin as he tries to be. Twenty-four year old woman finding him hot and thinking he's only 27?? Please... hot? Not a chance. 27? 57 maybe...

    The series quickly begins to resemble one of those fake sitcoms you’d see in a snide movie that likes to take easy potshots at low culture.

    The story lines are every bit as insufferable as the punch lines.

    Rules would be more engaging if it weren't so familiar, but there is at least one consistently hilarious performance: Patrick Warburton.
