Review

  • The series has great possibilities. Interesting character development and family relationships. The writers have lots to say about friendship, growing up, finding ourselves and making sense of the world. And baseball? We can all relate. This could become a classic like "Wonder Years"...but it needs some time to develop. The promotional spots didn't seem to hit the right target - most viewers probably stumbled upon it. The title doesn't explain the story line (nor does the text of the promos) - and if people know what the show is about, they will give it a chance. You've got teens, a single mom, ballplayers, the missing dad, the surrogate dad, the sister who seems out of control...but really loves her mom and brother more than they know. Lots of dramatic possibilities.
