5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite show., October 10, 2007

This review is from: Still Standing - The Complete First Season (DVD)

I've recently discovered this show in syndication, and absolutely love it. I never watched one minute of one episode when it was making its run on CBS, but I wish I had now.

The parents' (Mark Addy and Jami Gertz) struggle to relate to their kids, while remaining good parents creates some hysterical scenarios. This show is never short on quick, clever humor, and the chemistry among the actors works fantastically. The best thing I could say about 'Still Standing' might be this : I don't watch much TV at all, but I now have to make time to watch two episodes of this show every night. This show deserved a much better fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took me a while, but now I love it!, August 14, 2007

This review is from: Still Standing - The Complete First Season (DVD)

It took me a while to get into the show because people kept comparing this show to my family and I took offense.. at first. Now I watch it and laugh every night. This show is so well put together, from casting to set, and the writers are brilliant. The set kind of reminded me of Roseanne and of course some of the characters, but it's really not anything like Roseanne once you get to understand the characters. This was a surprisingly good TV show, and I am looking forward to buying the DVD set for the four years it was on the air.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the funniest shows I have seen, September 22, 2007

This is the funniest show. I have never written a review but feel that this show deserves acknowledgement. The actors relate so well to their characters and with each other.

My husband and I watch the show back to back on one channel and when that is over we turn to another channel and watch the same two episodes back to back again. This is one of those shows that once you have seen it, you CAN watch it again and again.

I don't have a favorite episode, because they are all so very funny. But one that sticks out is when it is Judy's 40th birthday, the kids are trying to come up with 40 things they like about their mother. "She's pretty, she makes good meatloaf and she's smart...." As she is walking by, she makes the comment, "Hey, my driver's license expires on my birthday" And Brian says, "Everyones does." Then Judy replies, "Yeah right, like everyones expires on my birthday." So now they are back to "She's preety, she makes good meatloaf."

How about when they forget to sign Tina up for summer camp and she replies, "But I bet you didn't forget the beer"

The parents partied a little too much in school, something we can all relate to (even if you didn't drink beer, smoke pot or listen to ACDC, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc)now they are parents trying to teach their children what is the right thing to do. But most of the time it turns out that their children teach them.

Watch it once and you will love it
