8/10
Not spontaneous, but entertaining
15 August 2006
There's little shocking about this latest "reality" family series. Unlike The Osbournes, the parents don't act like degenerate morons.

Gene Simmons is a very calculated entertainer who slips into the "overmatched father" role slickly, his wife is somewhat on the outside looking in, and the kids obviously know how to get the upper hand on dad. Much better than the Hulk Hogan dreck, where he's just pushing his amazon daughter's pedestrian singing career down our throats.

Simmons appears to be fully in control and can provide a lighthearted half-hour, complete with "I am the top dog" mishaps with his son, and "that skirt's too short" with his daughter.

I enjoy it for what it is.
