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).

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.

I really enjoy the show. It is down to earth realistic situations that I can relate to. It takes a lot to make me laugh, and sometimes I have been know to chuckle when watching these.

People have been complaining about the changes in the show the producers have made, but I say as long as we have Ed and Joy the laughter is enough and they are the main reason people are watching the show. It is funny and Hilarious.

Season 1 and Season 2 are good. It went downhill after that the Woodcocks were fired from the show and the replacements over the next seasons could not carry the show. Not counting the 3 or 4 actress's who played the daughter. Brad Garrett isn't funny enough to carry the show and the constant cast replacements indicated that the show was dead. It was later admitted that various budget cuts were made so FOX could make enough episodes for the rerun market. Without Thomas and Foster this show died quick death.
