This is supposed to be a family comedy about the life of a working mum, but it doesn't come across well. The problem is her workplace.
The mum works with a bunch of geeks as a video games developer or artist. At work - she doesn't work, but spends the day getting her co-workers to help her with her family, or asking them about her life and whether they think she is doable etc !! It isn't funny and is a bit daft really because who would actually do that ? That part of the show just doesn't work with the family comedy situation which actually wasn't too bad.
If they just made the show about her work life it would be much better.
Not to mention that i am pretty sure they yellowed up / tanned the children to make them look more half indian than they really are !! Something which again doesn't work especially as the grandmother and grandfather are very pale skinned actors and actresses themselves along with the mother (who i think has also tanned up a bit for the show !).
The show just tries too hard to be the next major comedy (borrowing aspects from several other successes in the process) and fails very very dramatically !
