I would have given this show only one star but I really like Patrick Warburton. I only made it through 3 episodes before I deleted it.
I feel like I'd seen this show before, and better done. It was so similar to 'Til Death, another recent show, with the slightly older jaded couple and the younger newly together couple with the good looking, slightly sleazy wife. Unfortunately that show changed direction so many times it turned out to be bad.
I generally stay FAR away from American TV shows past 2005. The only decent sitcom (with a unique concept) was The Big Bang Theory. Everything else I've attempted to watch is filled with adolescent, excessively juvenile sexual humor (BBT sometimes did too). It's as if all Hollywood writers are 15 boys who fantasize about dating the popular girls but can't.
When I started watching Rules of Engagement I didn't realize that the completely unfunny David Spade was in it. As another reviewer mentioned his character has no redeeming qualities. I loved Warburton on Seinfeld (an outstanding sitcom) and News Radio (another good one until the tragic death of Phil Hartman), but Warburton isn't enough to carry this show. Skip it!
