    For the most part, The Real O'Neals uses its likable cast and a generally funny script to make for a refreshing addition to the "dysfunctional family" comedy canon, despite being occasionally over the top.

    I feel that cast is very talented. They have great chemistry and comedic timing. The writers have done a good job at allowing us to laugh at uncomfortable and complex issues. I would have loved to have been in my teens and viewed this show. It has so many positive layers. Thank you.

    This show is awful. Bashing on everyone is unacceptable but bashing on Catholics is fair game? Okay... It's also not funny. Dan Savage is a terrible individual with biased views. Thanks ABC for another degrading show and allowing this monster to create this terrible excuse for entertainment.

    Just read a number of articles on Noah Galvin... An arrogant, judgmental, hypocrite that hasn't been here on planet earth long enough to deserve anyone's respect for his opinions. Watched the show a few times and after seeing what he's all about in his personal views (through his interviews) I cannot watch another episode. What's up with his attitude?

    A perfect fit with ABC's other excellent highly dysfunctional but lovable family sitcoms. Great cast and great writing will hopefully keep this family around for many more seasons.

    The Real O’Neals may be soft and gooey at its center, but it’s the hard, tart outer shell that gives it its unique flavor.

    This series won't be for everyone and it sometimes gets in its own way with an over-reliance on well-used sitcom gimmicks, but if you're looking for an honest comedy that's not afraid to tackle delicate subject matter, The Real O'Neals might just be exactly what you're looking for.

    The quiet rage behind Plimpton's quest for normalcy--"You still have that?" she asks Kenny with hope, a day after he's announced he's gay--makes the series something really special.... The Real O'Neals, though less polished, does something similar [to blackish], pitting evolving norms against a family unit fundamentally resistant to change.
