Retired at 35 (2011–2012)
1/10
Bland along the lines of 50's and 60's sitcoms

Warning: Spoilers
The premise of this show was good , it had a lot of potential but ended up falling flat on it's face. It works every cliché that comedies in the 50's and 60's used to do . Whether a line or gag is funny doesn't matter as the laugh track is used for just about every other spoken line. And most of the lines aren't funny. I've caught the first few episodes and the writers seem to think that George Segal and Jessica Walters hamming it up is funny which it is not. The son also comes across as nothing more than a pouty teenager who wants his own room etc. The supporting characters do nothing to help and are simply there to fill the room.

I cannot see this show lasting more than a season or two when even shows that have been off the air for years are getting higher ratings in reruns.
