5.0 out of 5 stars
A good but under rated show, August 9, 2006
This review is from: Grounded for Life - Season Four (DVD)
Grounded for Life was a great show that lasted from 2000-2005. In 2003 the show moved from Fox to the WB network. Season four was the first full season shown on the WB. It consisted of 28 episodes because 6 episodes were left over from season three. However we can now enjoy them all on this new DVD set coming in November. I will now list the episodes.

All the young nudes- Sean and Eddie hire strippers for their bar. However the P.T.A. starts to protest.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Still going strong on year 4, but slight decline toward year 5, December 23, 2009
This review is from: Grounded for Life - Season Four (DVD)
This still reflected the strong writing and strong ensemble cast of the previous 3 seasons, but a slight decline is noticeable. This series clearly had a difficult start on season 1, picked up well on season 2, really cooked on season three and had momentum to carry this season off well. You can tell that they aren't sure where to take some story lines here and the last show seems to be a desparate attempt to regain momentum for season 5, unluckily a failed attempt. This cast had real talent but the writers seemed to lose interest; perhaps why they left the show after this season. A good laugh if you get it for the right price.
