Funny Despite Itself
23 October 2012
I was taken aback by how funny this was because it's just so achingly wholesome ... and that's all the review I think you'll need, I can only imagine you were avoiding it for that reason too. They're gay, she's an immigrant, the kids are noisy, but they all have one thing in common - their home planet, Utopia.

Now, there's a minimum of 10 lines per review; and encourage pithy critique that does not - one tries to be as forthcoming as one can, without ruining anything about the product - but if IMDb insists: each episode ends with a monologue, à la 'melted cheese down your throat', though sometimes it's funny (either way, I could still do without it). There are times when the comedy is surprisingly slow to where you've figured out the joke before it's told, only what's told actually ends up being a less punchy version of what you saw coming. And, finally, blah blah blahs too blah blah blah.

Nevertheless they did good with this, it somehow turned out better than we all thought it was going to be.
