If I was to review this show after the first episode or even the second, I would have given it a 4 or 5 at best. However, I've always had a rule for new series. I give it four shows. If I don't care if I watch the 5th episode, then I delete it from the DVR. Well, this show is getting better each week. I really like the actors on the show so that has helped. However, the concept didn't take "flight" with me until last week. It was exceptionally funny and did tie in together in that EVERYONE has this family. They are finding their humor and their footing. I'll keep watching. The parents fell flat at first but now, they've taken on the persona that many of us have for parents. They are from a different generation and now, with their grandchildren, they are reliving their youth. To the chagrin of their own children. The children, all leading different stages of their lives, are hilarious. I'm giving this a 7 now because they still haven't brought out the full potential of their family dynamic and the humor that can be found. However, they are on the right track and honestly, it's possible this show will still find its mark while never becoming a full on comedy. I'm fine with that.
