This basically sums up this show: "An English guy, using a bad American accent, rips off Archie Bunker as he, along with his family, have conversations which consist of a series of bad punchlines from other sitcoms that didn't work, but they had to use them somewhere." This show is unbearably bad and stinks of every other generic sitcom that ever existed. There are no original ideas, no original plots or jokes, and why does Mark Addy use an American accent? It would be funnier (if not slightly more original) if he was an Englishman and they used that as an on-going gag, but that might actually differentiate it from every other cheeseball show. This show is so embarrassingly bad, you are shocked to see you're not watching Public Access or a college-TV show, but in fact are watching a major television network. The punchlines are all forced and the writing is awful. This show is for people who don't get "Seinfeld" or "The Simpsons" and need to be spoon-fed their comedy in order to get a joke. This show makes "Who's the Boss?" seem genius by comparison, even Tony Danza would think this show is lame. This is the show "Family Guy" is a parody of. Somebody has naked pictures of the President of CBS, that's the only way this thing could have gotten picked up.
