Great family sitcom of the early 2000s


This is the only family sitcom that i like. I love the other American sitcoms "Frasier" and "King Of Queens" which are not family orientated, i forgot all about "Grounded For Life", they used to air it on a now cancelled cable channel here in the UK called "Trouble", now with the World Wide Web i can just stream episodes. GFL is not always funny, but it's watchable, i'm a big fan of American sitcoms, but have noticed that they have gone downhill big time over the past decade. The three that i mentioned including this one are the only decent US Sitcoms and they no longer air.

Grounded For Life keeps it real, it focuses on a lot of different topics, "Sean" whinges, nags and complains a lot, but i guess that's what the writers wanted for this character.

It was crazy how the youngest son in the later seasons just disappeared into thin air lol

Anyway comedies like this are a reminder of how US Sitcoms are basically dead now in 2016, and the ones that ARE on the air are dreadful, i said a similar thing on another American Sitcom message board. They need to bring back some more experienced writers.

This show was definitely a one of a kind. Still one of my favorites. Another show thats pretty good is The Middle.
