I like this show during the first season or two. It went down hill fast after that. The third season had "promise" with his new relationship with J. B. Smoove's character, but that fizzled. Now they are on their second Ally this season, the fourth since the show started. The only episode I bothered to watch (just checking in, see if it's any better than I might have expected) was the one where they introduced The Gooch as the new Ally. Admittedly, they handled it kind of cutely, with the looser son-in-law not recognizing her and some jokes about how he thinks his life is a sitcom and they recast his wife (wacka wacka). But it's pathetic, and symptomatic of a show that lost its sparkle, even for the other actors, long ago.

Agree with Grace, the show had alot of promise early on, despite the skewering it got from critics.

My wife and I -- now well past our honeymoon stage, but not quite in the "Holy crap, when did our kids grow up?" point in our lives, found humor -- and situations we could related to -- in both the starting and the seasoned couples.

But yes, somewhere around the time they let go of the 'honeymooners' things got very wrong.

Hopefully we'll see the beautiful and talented Joley Fisher around again soon.

It was cute at first--the two next door neighbor couples. Funny and somewhat-realistic showing the contrast between newly weds and long-married couples.

But then it got bizarre with the vengeful principal, all of the focus on the weird son-in-law, etc. And then changing actresses for the daughter--having two or three weddings, having her pregnant then not pregnant. TOO bizarre.

Actually their have been four actresses to play the part of Ally. That definitely has to be a record. Some of the 4th season episodes have been pretty good. It's a shame they are shown in completely random order.

The show was remotely funny on occasions. We'd watch it when nothing else was on. Recently, however, the episodes have not even been chronological. There are episodes in which their daughter is married, followed by one where she's not. There is also the fact that they've had 3 different actresses play her daughter. I, honestly, won't miss it.
