I like it. Except I think the daughter is too much of a smart mouth. She talks awful to her dad and she doesn't get in trouble for it. That just shows a total lack of respect. And the wife kind of sides in with the daughter.
Other than that, I love Jason Alexander and Malcolm Jamal Warner.(hope I spelled that right)

I think its awful, no flow. No chemistry between Jason and his wife or Malcolm either.

Who's playing his wife anyway? She cant act.

Does anyone know how its ranked in the ratings?

Looks like another dud for the Seinfeld alumni!

The wife's real name is Wendy Makkena. Her bio is on CBS.com.
I don't care much for her either. I want this show to work cuz I like Jason.

The first few episodes were dull and if it weren't for the shows that surround it, I wouldn't have watched anymore episodes.

But..........it seems to be getting better as time goes by and Jason Alexander doesn't seem to be trying so hard, which is a good thing.

IMO, the best character on the show is the kid playing the son.

The woman playing Alexander's wife reminds me of a young Marlo Thomas.

I agree, the son is the best one. I could do w/o that smartbutt daughter.

I think its a good show, pretty funny. It's got two of some of the greatest sitcom actors of all time.

It's okay, and I love Malcolm Jamal Warner, and he and Jason Alexander work well together, but do we have to have a dumb son? And yes, Megan is too unruly. But at least Tony Kleinman is a dad who isn't necessarily a schmuck.

I only saw a few episodes but it isn't to bad. I wouldn't race home to watch it but if I had the channel tuned to it I'd watch it.

I hated the show at first, but now I gotta
admit I'm starting to like it. Either Jason
is relaxing more or I'm just getting used
to all the characters, but I think they're
all funny. It seems to be turning into a
pretty good show. I like watching it now.

I liked the show right from the start. At first it was a little slow,but it has gotten better each time I watch it. :)

As it was in the begining, the show has become very unfunny in all aspects. This show needs to be canceled NOW.

It appears like this show and Joey have the best shot of the fall shows to get renewed although as far as ratings are concerned that isn't saying much.

I've been watching this show by downloading each episode. As far as im concerned it's an excellent show. It started a little slow but has deffinatley got better. The episode most recent was a classic. The son is my favourite character, i wouldn't call him a dumb son either. He doesn't receive the best grades but he's a good person and doesn't do stupid things just doesn't receive too gooda grades at school. Unlike a son in My wife and kids jnr who is just stupid in every aspect and eric in that 70s show same deal.

I really don't like this show...

After a few episodes, I thought that it could grow on me, but well, it's just not funny at all!
I can't believe this show hasn't been cancelled :crazy:

I'm sorry but the son is dumb; the daughter is annoying, Tony's wife looks like a Debra (everybody loves raymond) without the charism or humor, and I just wonder what Malcolm Jamaal Warner is doing here (get him out of this trap!!)
and for Tony's character...sometimes you feel like he's trying a one man-show but his dialogues, and his acting from the seinfeld time seems so far...but the real disaster is when his family is in the scene :lol:

sorry for my english :/
