Season 1

Season one is surprisingly good, unfortunately the show starts to go downhill season 2 episode 1.

loved this season. excited to start S2

My channel KBFX-58's now airing the Season 1 episodes. It's a bit unsettling to see Mike basically yelling in his Outdoor Man videos as opposed to his more even-tempered, stand-up comedy-esque work w/ potshots at liberals later on. & as I posted previously, I'm not much of a fan of "Kristen #1" after watching the latter episodes. Plus the sitcom doesn't really gain momentum until Ryan is introduced so he can press Mike's buttons, & the series changes its dynamic from Mike being frustrated w/ living with 3 teen-age daughters.

As usual, I become a fan of a show long after they premiere & make improvements, this sitcom not a exception. I love the comedy & its hard-hitting topical stuff, particularly between the right-wing Mike & his liberal son-in-law Ryan. Now that it's syndicated I can watch, 1st of all, "Kristin #1," who I prefer less then her succeeding actress. & Ryan cannot be seen but as the "disappeared dad" has already gotten the ire of the Baxters, Mike especially (& I dunno if Ryan's his chosen name if an actor's been cast in Season 1). But from my understanding, the comedy's original theme was that Mike's manhood's @ stake as he leads a house w/ his wife, 3 daughters, & a grandson. That's why my rating's a 7. It looks like another average sitcom where Tim Allen returns to TV. But the political sparks & angle sets in when Ryan appears, & then really gets Mike's goat by being an actual practicing liberal.
