Review of 2point4 Children

This series from the 90s is quite funny and delightful. Belinda Lang plays a caring but grumpy wife (named Bill for some odd reason) to man-child husband, Ben (played by Gary Olsen). They have two children (Jenny and David) who along with their good-natured, promiscuous neighbor Rona (played by Julia Hills) and Ben's constantly complaining employee, Christine (played wonderfully by Kim Benson) experience the ups and downs of every day life punctuated by the most bizarre occurrences (Bill's run-in with a chimpanzee in a paint store, Ben's ill-fated attempts to look after their neighbors' pets, the whole family's encounter in Florida with a hurricane that seems to follow them, etc.). Belinda Lang is not the first actress I would associate with such a role but her incredulous reactions to the insanity around her makes her a great audience stand-in. P. S. It's very sad that Gary Olsen died so young.
