Single Parents *is* funny but humor is always subjective, so that's not enough info to properly review this freshman comedy gem.
First off, I'm not a Single Parent; I'm actually childfree, so you don't have to be a breeder 😉😬 to enjoy this show.
So let's get into the guts of this show. There's an amazing cast w/wonderful chemistry, both among the parents themselves and w/the kids & parents in the cast. The show is well-written enough, meaning yes it can be predictable at times & a bit cheesy as such, but there are plenty of LOL moments and fresh one-liners to keep the pace.
It does take a bit for the show to grease its wheels and move along smoothly, but that's true of anything, really. Giving a show a crappy rating based on a bad pilot, or not giving it a real chance beyond a couple episodes isn't exactly fair anyway, as most people know. Stick with it beyond a couple episodes and you may be rewarded, as I was, because once Single Parents finds its groove, it becomes a can't miss each week.
The key to this show, imo, is that often the kids act more like parents "should" while the parents act like kids. I don't mean that the parents are irresponsible or immature, just that the kids help the parents grow & become better people. This applies to both the kids of the actual parents & kids from other parents. They eventually become a found family and their adventures are quite entertaining. Kudos their casting directors because the kids are paired well w/their fictional parents & chemistry works well all around.
My only concern is where this show can go in future seasons. There's plenty of material out there, of course, but hopefully the writers & crew keep creating fresh comedy that keeps pace w/similar shows.
