This show just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I love the flow of the show. It follows three best friends in their early thirties who, I feel, are still growing and learning about parenting and maintaining different relationships. It's a fun take on life and doesn't stray too far from reality. These hilarious characters remind me of my own family. I like that you can relate to every character and their situation.
After watching the Halloween episode I've come to the conclusion that this show is legit. It's funny, engaging and adorable. I love the quick and hilarious remarks Nick and Sheila throw at each other. It's smart and clever and keeps me coming back for more!
I hope it is here to stay!

I think NBC is finally getting back to their old "Must See TV" roots! Between this show and Matthew Perry's Go On, you have filled a void long over due! The emptiness from the loss of Friends has been somewhat fulfilled by this "parents-now" version of Friends-like show! Jimmy Fallon is genius and every time my husband and I watch it there is a scene we can identify with or... It sends us down memory lane when we ourselves as parents were in the same situation! Please, please, please, keep this one around for us 30-something's who don't want to watch the filth, crime scene, or just plain ridiculous other sitcoms and dramas on prime time!
Its about time that they come out with a show that is funny and yet not full of garbage. Its frustrating that there isn't more episodes and that it doesn't have better reviews simply because its not filled with all the filth that they have in other TV shows. Props to the makers of this excellent show, I hope that they can make more like it.I love the actors, I love the plot, I love the freakin show. Personally I wanted to write this review simply because I wanted to reinforce the fact that this show is excellent and that we need more shows like it. I hope that those that created this show or those that may have an influence don't give up on making shows like this because everyone I know that I have shown the show loved it. To be honest I feel the only reason the show didn't do better is because not very many people knew about it.I think it just needed to be better publicized.
I'm not a big fan of TV comedy these days, as most of them desperately and relentlessly reach for the gutter for their "comedy". Not that I'm easily offended - I can appreciate an occasional, well justified and thought out piece of raunchiness as anybody. But to be in the gutter the majority of the time like a bunch of high school boys? Is this why the average rating here is just 5/10? Not enough raunchiness for people?
This show is refreshing because it's good non-gutter comedy. These 30-ish dads haven't given up their fun improvisational attitudes toward life yet, and find themselves getting into classic comic not-so-smart undertakings that backfire, getting in trouble either with their wives or with one of the other guys. And there's warm and fuzzy make-up moments when the characters manage to rise to maturity in the face of being proved stupid.
So far, the show has gotten me to laugh out loud at least once per episode, and that's rare for me; even when the comedy is good, I don't usually do more than smile.
update 12/08/2012: The episodes since I wrote this a month ago have been somewhat lame. One show was spoiled by too much focus on the bitchy ex-wife (I suppose some people would like that). Overall, the show is losing the focus on the guys as described above.

I ran across this old comedy on my firestick. I had no idea this show existed. I can't believe it. Very funny. So sorry it was only one season. To be a cast of mostly less known actors, it is so worth watching. I regret that the most wholesome comedies somehow get cancelled while the raunchy stuff runs for too many seasons. I'm very glad I found this show. I look forward to watching it over and over because their are no good comedies these days. Love the fact that the cast is biracial and they have a wonderful chemistry. The friendships seem very genuine and not forced at all. If you haven't watch it, you have missed a good laugh.
