About
If you want a comfortable, funny family sitcom with bickering, flashback-driven stories, and a bit of edgy but warm humor, this should click; Not for you if you hate loud arguments or sitcom clichés like in King of the Hill.
Pros: laugh-out-loud family chaos; witty flashback storytelling; likable, eccentric cast | Cons: familiar sitcom clichés; some uneven later changes; occasional bratty kid humor
