Quintuplets

This show isn't all that bad. Everybody says its horrible and has ruined Andy Richter's career but I watch this show and I like it. I particularly like Ryan Pinkston (Patton). I think that everybody just has to give it a chance because it is a good show and its just as funny as any other comedy. I don't want it to be canceled! I want everybody to give it a chance because once you do you will like it! I don't know why everybody hates this show! But the people who do hate it don't know the difference between good TV and bad TV. I don't have anything against the people who hate this show and want it canceled but they haven't given it a chance yet so of course they're going to hate it. You have to watch a couple episodes first. I watched the first episode and I thought it was just another show, like any other, but then i watched the next episode and I started to like it so I just want people to give it a chance.

I think they were shooting for Married...With Children territory with this one, but they forgot to make it funny. They also forgot to leave out the "heartwarming, uplifting" dollop of sentiment at the end. The combination of unfunny low humor and unconvincing schmaltz adds up to DON'T WATCH.

Andy Richter is too ironic-sarcastic to fit in with the predictable cute-popular vs. goofy-unpopular teen dichotomy, which is itself far too obvious to be interesting. It doesn't help that the actors playing the kids are marginal at best, and completely unbelievable as siblings. Rebecca Creskoff is a typical sitcom mom, very much like the character she played on Greetings From Tucson.

but not the best sitcom on TV. I like it. It's funny and entertaining, but a little cheesy at times. It's definitely better than most of the reality crap that's aired these days. Everyone says that it has ruined Andy Richter's career, I tend to disagree. Just give it a chance, every show gets better with age. "Worst sitcom ever?" Method & Red anyone?

And for those who say it's unrealistic because the kids don't all look alike? Get over it. It's just a show, it's not supposed to be taken that seriously.

And for those who say it's bad and should be cancelled immediately? Just change the channel.

I've seen a few episodes now, and I think it's funny. There's some good writing in there, lots of good laughs.

So what if the quints aren't identical? It's not impossible to have fraternal quints. Unlikely, but so is having quints in the first place!

The most recent episode I saw (where they're trying to get a new van) was hilarious. It was great to see Bob ("Bulldog" from "Frasier") guest starring as their competition.

I look forward to seeing more episodes. I enjoy everyone in the cast. Each of the kids is quite a character! Give it a shot, you'll be sure to have some laughs. Great new series.

Okay, it's not the best show in the world. It's not even close to being the best show on this summer.

But for anyone out there whose main complaint is that it's not believable because the kids are too different and look nothing like their parents, all I can say is that if you're looking for realism, maybe you need to start watching the History Channel. No one watches a Fox sitcom so they can turn it off afterwards and think, "Well, that was realistic. Very satisfying in its ability to be not at all off-the-wall." Well, it turns out maybe they do.

The show itself needs some work. The jokes are often too obvious, and sometimes "goofy" fails to equal "funny". But it's reasonably addictive, and, overall, a good way to spend a half-hour without having to think or really do anything except just enjoy the simplicity of it all. And maybe it'll get more clever this fall.
