Welcome to the Family

The show clearly doesn't bring anything new to the table. The humour is poor and I failed to find any of it funny.

What made things worse as one of the other reviewers has said (adslgr- alhtes) they then resort to pathetic attempts at humour which are frankly just offensive. The scene where the two dads (who are two grown adult men) decide that they are going to punch each other in the nuts is just ridiculous. Not only would this never happen but it shows just how desperate for laughs they are when they have to try and get laughs from such a stupid and dangerous action.

I am glad it is going to be cancelled. I have a lot of time for the guy that played one of the dads (he was in Glee as Kurt's dad) but the material for this show is just plain crap.

I would have never watched this show, if not for the bad reviews already out there, I had to watch the episodes on line which were available. After watching the first two, I am more surprised that this abomination was cast after someone might have read the script. There is barely a laugh in the first two episodes, in fact I felt bad for the actors who were hamming up the tired old gags for a laugh. Both male leads play it so that you can't help but to not like either of them. This is unfunny, terribly acted, and an unlikable cast from top to bottom, everyone, and everything that happens is stolen from everything else you have ever watched before.

Simply put, this show is not funny on any level. For one reviewer to even mention it in the same breath as All In The Family or The Odd Couple shows how little that reviewer knows about either of the those two well-written shows.

Every contrivance possible is thrown into this mess of a pilot episode; the only thing missing is the kitchen sink.

Despite the hard work of the cast, WTTF is beyond lame. It lacks anything resembling creativity and is dreary in its execution. Speaking of execution, I hope this show is sent to its rightful place: cancellation.

Two families are forced together when their kids have an unplanned pregnancy. Ricardo Chavira and Mike O'Malley play the dads, and they don't get along. Mary McCormack is one of the moms who also has an unexpected pregnancy. Justina Machado is the other mom. The actors playing the teens aren't anything special. The dads' constant bickering is very distracting. Although punching balls is always funny. Mary McCormack has a little more to do, and looks slightly better by comparison.

There is nothing new in this show. At least they don't have the annoying laugh track. But other than getting punched in the nuts, there isn't much to laugh at. The teens aren't funny at all. The dads are barely tolerable. Only Mary McCormack is watchable.

The emphasis seems to be about the adults. I think that misses the comedic point. It seems much more logical and funny if they center the show on the kids. They have lots more to deal with. You can introduce their friends. The parents are better off as co-stars. When push comes to shove, there is no rules to say that in-laws have to be in each other's lives 24-7. But there are reasons that parent-kid relationship is 24-7.

This show sucks in so many ways. The white dad is ugly and his wife is not. Can we pair up actors with the same looks? Also, I am SICK of the ethnic thing……..move on already! Yes, the Mexicans are smart and the white people are dumb – I get that is what you are promoting! The white girl is stupid and the Mexican boy is smart and cultured. This is just another propaganda show!

Sadly, the show was well made and I might have liked it if it not all the punches were played against the Caucasian couple! (I guess I can't post this unless I have ten lines so I will just keep adding stuff until I get ten lines.) You took off Mike and Molly for this? Mike and Molly had nice plot line, Welcome to the Family does not.
