Cuckoo (II) (2012– )
7/10
Andy Samberg 9 Stars, Taylor Lautner 1 Star

Warning: Spoilers
I wondered why a show was named after the main character since he (Andy Samberg) disappeared after season one. After doing a little checking I noticed there was a year gap between season one and two. I assume that Samberg must have had other commitments and couldn't return after the first season. I have never much cared for Andy Samberg but this role was tailor-made for him. He plays a dim-witted hippie type who's personality drives his father-in-law batty. I rarely laugh out loud but 'Cuckoo' made me chuckle more than once. That being said, seasons two and three were nowhere nearly as funny. The family still has their funny moments, but Taylor Lautner is horrid. His role as Cuckoo's son is not at all funny and I couldn't help but think how much better it would have been if Andy Samberg had continued his role. I find it interesting how the reviews are divided; some hated season one but loved seasons two and three and vice-versa. Put me down for one of the viewers who preferred the first season.
