I have never seen a sitcom so devoid of humor in my life. Why did Leah Remini accept a role in this show, playing the sister of a man who looks like her grandfather? Has she burned all her bridges and this gig is all she can get? Then there are the two black characters, Darren and his sister, Stitch. They are racial stereotypes that no doubt have the approval of the KKK. These two can undo all the civil rights progress made in the last fifty years. Lazy, lying, sex-crazed, thieving.....these characterizations are completely inappropriate. Then we have a running gag where Darren's dad is an old man in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. He can't speak and seems incoherent. Naturally, he's the butt of jokes...we get it...compassion is frowned upon. Then we have a "joke" when the lead character (who, by the way, lacks any form of charisma or comic talent) injures his foot with a nail gun and his father has a heart attack. This show will not last three episodes before it's yanked.
