This is just the kind of light entertainment you need when you don't want to think about anything heavy. There are some quirky characters that can be kind of amusing. But it's the very typical thing nowadays where you have a man who is clueless and a small band of women who know everything; they are the all-wise ones. If men talked to women the way these women talk to men, Women viewers would be screaming bloody murder about sexism in men treating them like they're ignorant little dopes. But it's not just them. There are the two teenage kids of this man who likewise can see through to the core of everything and know exactly what the right thing is, and so they have to correct and instruct dear old befuddled dad. I do know that women can sometimes see things that men can't and teenage kids have some important insights. But this is a constant theme throughout the show. This man is pathetic. He continually apologizes for things that he did and said that were right. He does so because the all-wise women and his all-wise children told him that he was wrong. It's really sad The daughter is obnoxious; she has no respect for her father. Her behavior can't be excused by, "well she's a teenager; they're all like that." No, they aren't all like that. And when they overstep boundaries, their parents who do know more than they do need to help *them* to understand. The son does have some respect, but he still sees his place as being the one who has got to get his dad on track. So if you can overlook all that, there are some pleasant moments in it. I just can't believe this lasted for 40 episodes.
