    Another fun little family sitcom.
    This is another sitcom I've watched when I was a kid. It's a nice, heartfelt show about couple George and Katherine Papadapolis who adopts a little boy that was the son of a former teammate of George's. The three together go through the ups and downs in life.

    It's a funny little show full of life lessons, comedy and heartfelt moments and a little bit of drama as well. There's good acting for the most part.

    I don't remember most of the show, but I did enjoy it as a little kid for the most part. And, it's full of innocence and family-oriented fare.

    Grade B
