The above/below comments are obviously written by someone directly associated with the show, if its not a complete reprint of an NBC press release. I have yet to watch a vaguely realistic episode of this show (though I admit I don't watch often), nor crack a smile from the flatly delivered "safe" jokes. It's a routine and predictable teen-oriented sitcom, and like all of Peter Engel's routine and predictable efforts, follows a routine and predictable formula...destined never to be taken seriously by anyone living in the real world.
