I would love to give this show 10 stars ... HOWEVER ... I just cannot get past the son, Henry. I thought I would give it a few shows to see if he gets a groove, but I am sad to say - he has not caught on.
The rest of the cast is SUPERB ... the writing is great. EXCEPT for when Henry is in the scene.
He is boring, lifeless and just one big yawn. He has no finesse whatsoever. His delivery is awful and he is bringing the show down to a screeching halt.
I have NO IDEA what they saw in him upon casting, but there is no chemistry at all that comes through when he is on screen.
By the way ... I just LOVED the gal that played the "Aunt" who was in the Navy. What a great character she was. I would like to see her come back as a regular.
I want the show to stay on the air, I really do ... I just think they need to rethink the role of Henry. I still think it early enough to recast. Seriously ... we all learned to love the new Darren, didn't we?
