I really enjoyed the pilot but am enjoying this show even more as it progresses. I haven't watched a "laugh-out-loud" sitcom for awhile until this show - last week I almost doubled over during some of the segments. The entire cast is brilliant and pulls it off every week. I never knew Colin Hanks could be that funny! And I'm so happy to see Zoe Lister-Jones (who I loved in Whitney) and Thomas Sadosky (wonderful in Newsroom). Dan Bakkedahl is absolutely brilliant as are Dianne Weist and James Brolin. Even the kids are good, and I'm usually not enamored of child actors.
I look forward to each new episode, and really hope that it picks up an audience that will stick with it.

I absolutely cannot believe this show got cancelled. I binged it on Netflix just recently and couldn't wait for more. I just checked for the upcoming season date when I found out the show got cancelled?!? It's such a smart sitcom with a loveable cast. The writers and cast deserve better than this.
The show is smart, funny and and tugs at your heart as you join this family and their life. The writers are very talented fitting in big topics in little stories. And the cast is as equally talented bringing to life the stories. Love this show!
Where Modern Family excels in over-acting, towcramping scripts and far from believable charachters, this show is the opposite. It's funny, the actors are in their element .
It's how you spell a believable "dysfunctional" family
I cannot believe all the negative reviews this show has gotten! It is well written and absolutely hilarious. The entire cast is superb, somehow James Brolin just keeps getting better with age! The show follows one family, parents their three grown children and their families. Every character on the show is interesting. Even the young kids are well written. They are wealthy and somehow it is still easy to relate to them. It is witty, sarcastic, and much funnier than most of the shows it is compared to, though I don't see why it's compared to anything, as it is very original. It is one of the few comedies my husband and I both agree on, laugh out loud funny! Give this show a chance, I don't see how you could be disappointed.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn May 10, 2019, after only five episodes into season four, it was announced that the show would not have a season five. CBS canceled it but would run the final nine episodes. The series was highly rated in its second season, right behind The Big Bang Theory (2007), but ratings dropped in season three and didn't recover in early season four. Many felt it was because of the way CBS scheduled it. The show first aired in September it's first season and then kept getting pushed back later in the year the following seasons. It didn't premier until April, almost a year after season three ended, in season four.
- GoofsTim is seen with hair in both of the flashbacks. However it is a running joke that he went bald in at least high school.
- Crazy creditsThe show opens with the printed tag line, "One Big Family. Four Short Stories.". This is a pun. Each episode consists of four complete stories, presented one at a time. But also, the name of the family is "Short". So the four segments that make up each episode aren't just short stories. They're Short stories.
