Not so sure the mother is "perfect" with some of her decisions she's made, but the show is quite enjoyable. Not sure if it's because of the acting and such or because it's just something different which is a refreshing change of pace over the drivel that continues on the airwaves.

The wife and I are fans too.

Definitely different from most programming; much more relateable since it focuses on real-life families. We noticed it seems to be the spiritual successor to "Parenthood", which also aired on NBC.

Just found this show last Friday and watched all the episodes through today. Love, love this show. Hate that they left me wondering what's happening with Toby. I am in love with all the characters.

This show is surprising to me because it talks about classic everyday things and still make them great. I love everyone of the Pearson family, but Kevin less, and he was great and more human and complex in this last episode!

The irony is that the actor playing Kevin is so good, that we really don't like him, and that's the point. :Thumbs:

I think Kevin is going to get much more interesting as the series unfolds...

I agree - Especially since we've been introduced to the "Ex-wife" now.

People don't like Kevin?! I did NOT know that. I kind of like his douchey-ness. I liked him ever since he shat a blowhole all over the set of his defunct sitcom.

Ahhhh, based on his actions on the night of his play's "premier," you were so right! :Trophy:

You call that better? I think I went through half a box of Kleenex last episode...

Who am I kidding, I've done that with most of the episodes. Although I not liking the chinks they are writing into Jack's armor...

Sooooo, based on the previews from last night, it looks as though we're gonna see how Jack died in the season finale?

Arrrrggghhh! :cry:

I just caught up with the most recent episode with William's memorial. I'm sitting here crying by myself because everyone else has already seen it and I'm just catching up.

So...did they re-write the last episode of Season 1 based on the fact it was renewed? I still have questions about Jack...

Hang on, need a Kleenex :cry:
