    One of the best seasons of television I have ever seen. Great cast, well-written characters, lots of laugh out loud moments and genuinely engaging storylines all the way through.

    Anyone wasting the precious Time of Their Lives on inanity like this - really really needs to get a life and get a grip - the country slid into decadent hell 15 years ago - and that's funny? ask all the children on antidepressants.

    No, a show about smoking weed, telling random stories and about masturbation is interesting.

    The bad points outweigh the good. I started out liking the show and then the stupidity began. Kevin Nealon is a funny guy but I just think he is a little too much of a "Whoa, parrty" thing happening. It gets old. I am about to lose my mind at how laid back of a mother she is.

    This show is entertaining and is getting better all of the time. I would have watched sooner had I known MLP was in it. She is not a classic beauty, but she is very sexy and a great actress.

    A wonderfully written and performed tv series, not reliant on its taboo subject matter for enterainment or as a cautionary tale; rather an exploration of the effect of a career choice on a mother and all the lives she touches. Witty dialogue, understated humour and tantalising cliffhangers that engage the viewer, you'll soon be addicted!
