About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a clever, fast-paced family sitcom with big personalities and lots of mischief, somewhat in the spirit of The Simpsons or That '70s Show; Not for you if harsh humor and frequent yelling put you off.
Pros: consistently hilarious episodes; unique, memorable characters; relatable family chaos | Cons: uneven later seasons; harsh punishments tone; continuity hiccups
