Crowded is a timely comedy that proves life is crazy with a full house, especially the second time around.

But when both of their two grown unexpectedly move back in and Mike's parents scratch their plans to spend their golden years in Florida, their roost is full again.

The new show starring Patrick Warburton premiering tonight is "is an alleged comedy where within two minutes you realize you don’t want to watch another two frames of it,” says Tim Goodman. "Predictable, dumb, unfunny — it checks off all the wrong boxes at an alarming rate, ending on “painful” as the pilot wraps, cascading downward to ‘punishing' by the second episode.” PLUS: Crowded shows promises at about Episode 3.

On the premiere night of Crowded, a show that depicts life in a multi-generational home, NBC decided that the ‘Pilot’ did not have enough random sex talk between daughters and their mom, parents smoking pot stashed by the daughters in the playroom, and granddad telling his son that “you love your children, you don’t like them.” No, the network went on to run a second show to give audiences a full hour of this stuff.

In the second episode ‘Present Tense’, Mike (Patrick Warburton) and Martina (Carrie Preston) are trying to spice up their sex life, but the never-ending presence of their grown daughters is cramping their style. After four years of an empty nest, they are re-adjusting to life with others in the house. Along the way, daughter Stella (Mia Serafino), the aspiring actress, says goodbye to her overnight guest after introducing her to the family. She kisses her, lesbian-style. Martina walks in as this is happening and the only thing she mentions is that her daughter has cut her hair, not the fact that apparently her daughter is now a lesbian.
