Not so Bad!
7 January 2006
Okay, this show is not so bad. When you have Stockard Channing, Henry Winkler, and Jennifer Tilly in the cast, you have to like it, I guess. It grows on you. I didn't care much for the three adult children-two male doctors and a lesbian which seems to be more of running joke but they do handle that carefully as to not alienate the viewers. I don't care that it's set in New York City. Since I'm pretty familiar, I think New York City has been done to death in sitcoms. They could have picked Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. for a change of setting. The writing is average. Still no matter what, Channing and Winkler's characters are the attraction to this mediocre show. I don't care for the adult children. They're not up to par or on the same level as the people who play their parents are. Even the father's mistress or girlfriend, Jennifer Tilly (I hope I got the right Tilly sister) manages to hold her own. It's a shame that the networks feel that they must put younger characters in the spotlight and keep the true stars in the shadows. That is Winkler, Channing, and Tilly.
