Great concept and great cast


Got some good names in this.

It's so quirky! In many of the eps I would start out disliking the characters, perhaps because they start out in such uncomfortable situations..and by the end I would be cheering for them! :)

Unfortunately, the very tone which sets them in uncomfortable situations, is made by writers and produces. As result it puts deliberately most of the family viewers in much more uncomfortable situations, then for imaginary characters.

Granted, still not amount of poison you will drink in many US TV shows, but, certainly, on its way to fulfill its promise. This shows appears as harmful family episode made for everybody to watch. But lowering the standards, with almost ritualistic use of vulgarity could only escape to those glued to a TV culture. It has its charms, but sadly, it will make lots of families embarrassed to stay together and watch the show till the end. Be happy if you are one those, it means, you managed to keep some values, after all.

Stand-up comedian pretending to be a paraplegic is what caught my attention, because it reminds me of move called : Coming & Going (2011)

Did they took idea from here? Possible.

Did the first episode concern swingers? Don't want to spoil I'm in one of these (as a mere extra) and I hope I didn't miss the first viewing.
