    If shows were kept around based on their quality, television would be unrecognizable. Unfortunately, great shows are often rewarded by throwing them out on the curb as the business is cruel to those that can't find audiences. Another round of… read more

  • No offense, but to me this show really sucked. I mean the whole using real life stories for the episodes was smart but there wasn't any "boom" to entertain the audience. The comedy in it either didn't make sense or was old news. Nice try thought.moreless

    "Terrible"
    By neslic, Aug 27, 2009
    I first watched this show because I wanted to see what it was about. I watched the pilot episode while doing my homework (that was my fault) but there wasn't anything that made me stop doing my homework and made me watch this episode. I wanted it to hook me in the storyline; instead it hooked me in my homework. I was really disappointed but kept on watching it hoping that the episodes would get better, but they didn't. I don't feel bad that it got canceled but I am glad it was made because it gave us a chance to watch a show about motherhood, even though to be honest with you, it sucked!moreless

  • This is a hilarious show. As a woman, it is easy to relate these ladies and their kids. It is easy to relate to what the kids put them through. It is good to see good, CLEAN shows on TV again.moreless

    This is a hilarious show. As a woman, it is easy to relate to these ladies and the kids. It is easy to relate to what the kids put them through. Jenny McCarty is a terrific addtion to the show. It is good to see good, CLEAN shows on TV again. I hope this show stays on -- I wish it would air on regular TV also. Now a days, TV protrays sex and violence more than any family shows. They should realize that the clean shows from the 50s thru the 70s are the ones that people like to watch over and over again.moreless

  • My husband and I both love Leah. Want to see her in this show and anything else she does. Will be disapointed not to see her act.

    My husband and I both love Leah. Want to see her in this show and anything else she does. Will be disapointed not to see her act. We watched her in King of Queens and love every episode. We deffinetly want to see more of her in any program. We hope to always fine her in new up coming programs. I think she does well in comedy or drama. I like the idea of doing the show on line and would also be thrilled to see it aired on television. It funny family orriented and a nice change from the odd reality shows. And much better than all the cop shows which tend to make our young people think its a cool way to get on television, sad but true. We seriously need more comedy shows with great attresses like her.moreless
