    Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
    Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
    Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
    Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
    foundsomefun Being a fan of George Segal's old movies I wanted to like this but can't beat a dead horse anymore. It is now in its second season and I tried to watch it again thinking that maybe it got better. Sadly, I could not have been more wrong.There is no timing or flow to their dialog or interactions. If you just sit and watch you can almost see each of them running their lines and stage directions in their heads. When one person finishes speaking there is an unnatural pause and then it is like the other person "wakes up" to the fact that they must respond either with verse or action.To each their own little bubble and they never connect. No chemistry, no comedic talent and poor direction. Bury it already it is really starting to stink to high heaven.
    hunterl3 I enjoy the set, setting and premise of this show. I don't care if it's unrealistic as some critics say. Please, how much TV is realistic??? For me it has an all around positive, upbeat feel, which I look for. I am not at all interested in the dark, brooding dramas. Life has plenty of that. Plus this is the kind of show that helps me escape reality every now and then. I find it soothing and cute and have literally laughed out loud on occasion. So happy and relieved to see it back on TV as I was missing it. George Segal and Jessica Walter have great chemistry and I love the entire cast. I particularly enjoy the friend's goofy simplemindedness and the cheesy and fun-loving character that Christine Ebersole plays. It's an 'escape' kind of show, and who doesn't need a little escape every now and then. Hope to see them around for a while.
    fortress111 The premise is a young executive son moving back in with his parents. The cast is wonderful... with the exception of one actor... the lead (Johnathan McClain) who is just God awful in comedy... it just does not work. And what a wonderful backing cast... all with talent, all who CAN act. McClain lacks the interpretation, the timing, the physical comedy cues that make a great lead actor in a great sitcom.McClain appears about 20 years too young for the lead role of "Dave." George Segal, playing his father, looks about 40 years older than the son... too bad they did not cast Clark Gregg from "New Adventures Of Old Christine" for example in the role... a Bob Newhart kind of character actor who could carry this role off. Matthew Perry would of course be the perfect ideal lead actor in this series, but I imagine his asking price is about a million an episode as of this writing. Average sitcom writing, great acting by all except for the atrocious McClain.
    edwagreen The premise is silly. A guy from N.Y. visits his parents in Florida and winds up quitting his job to stay there. What is he doing, becoming part of the Medicare jet-set?All of a sudden, Jessica Walter, the mother, is separated from her husband, George Segal. Then, we get to setting up Segal with a date from Bingo. When he balks at this, the son comes in and then the father is interested in the woman. What's even crazier is who the daughter of the woman turns out to be.Too much criss-crossing here. At 35, our guy is not ready for retirement and it will be hard to dig up material to keep this premise going. Of course, he can always find work down in Florida. What's the unemployment rate there? If the show continues like this, expect the cast to join the unemployment line as well.
