    Whoever likes a shallow sitcom will probably be satisfied with this show.

    Characters are not lovable and the jokes are frequently in poor taste, and yet, it kind of works. Would have maybe gotten away with being "ironic" or at least scored novelty value for putting some deeply flawed characters on screen, but for the obligatory sentimentality that seeps into most American TV.

    What this show does prove is that you can be racy and still somehow tediously tame.

    There’s nothing especially novel on “The War at Home,” except the way the familiar elements -- punch lines, fantasy sequences, sassy kids, talk-to-the-camera confessionals, bleeped profanity -- come together.
