In the first season of 'Til Death, a good chunk of the episodes centered on the grizzled married couple eying their affectionate newlywed neighbors with both jealousy and pity. In the followup year, Eddie and Joy Stark (Brad Garrett, Joely Fisher) have accepted Jeff and Steph Woodcock (Eddie Kaye Thomas, Kat Foster) not only as their neighbors, but also as friends (though sometimes begrudgingly). That doesn't mean that the ugly green monster doesn't rear its ugly head on occasion. The Starks already feel left out when they are excluded from a neighbor's funeral. But when they learn that the Woodcocks have been asked to participate in various roles honoring the deceased, they can't help but feel competitive about wanting to show their grief. As Eddie and Joy, Garrett and Fisher carry on the tradition of schlubby husbands married to women much hotter than them (According to Jim, The King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond). The chemistry between the two is completely believable--the Starks have a comfortable relationship where PDAs aren't a necessity. And Garrett is particularly good at physical comedy (watch for the scenes where he plays basketball and partakes in yoga). Thomas and Foster make a cute couple, but their relationship comes off as a little more forced. Both sets of couples are in rare form, though, when they do their own version of “swinging.” All 18 episodes--which originally aired during the 2007-2008 television season--are included in this two-disc box set. Some plot lines don't work, such as when a husband keeps a deli as a secret from his wife. But others dealing with the banalities of everyday married life hit home, even though they're played for laughs. --Jae-Ha Kim

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Disappointed, November 24, 2009

This review is from: 'Til Death - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

I loved season one... not for the clean humor, but for the realistic humor. I don't agree with how the couples always treat each other, but much can be learned from both couples. However, the second season is lacking the originality of the first. Though, they are still enjoyable, I'm not as eager to sit down and watch them (and have yet to complete the last few episodes).

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny, but getting a bit old, December 28, 2009

This review is from: 'Til Death - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

I was excited to see Brad Garrett of Raymond fame star in his own show. With Joely Fisher as his wife, Joy, and Step and Jeff Woodcock as his younger neighbors, the show becomes a running comedic commentary on marriage. The episodes contrast the two couples, old vs. young, cynical vs. naive, in a series of bizarre scenarios.

Unfortunately, the show seemed to get a bit too comfortable and routine in the second season. Unlike his character Robert in "Raymond," Garrett's character in "Til Death" gets a bit too cynical, and thus boring. Joy just gets on my nerves. The Woodcocks turn out to be the funniest characters, making it all the worse that season 2 was their last. While it's funny and certainly good for a few laughs, I never found myself really falling in love with the show or the characters.

'Til Death is one of my favorite television comedies of all time. Anyone who has been married for a while can easily relate to many of the situations humorously portrayed in the show. The contrast between the veteran married couple and the newly married couple are thought-provoking, evoke a lot of memories and are a lot of fun. If you and your spouse are looking for something to make you step back, laugh, and appreciate what you have in your own relationship, this is a show you will enjoy.
