How to Live with Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life)

I loved Sarah Chalke in Scrubs... she was the right age. Then I see her as Stella on "How I met your Mother" and thought she was too old for Ted's early 30's character. She too was in her early 30's but something about her comes off older, she comes across as more mature. Now with this show, she plays the daughter to Brad and Elizabeth (both 53yrs old), who would have to have been 16yrs old when they had Sarah who is 37. I don't buy it? I watched the first episode and thought she was the younger sister, not the daughter. I just couldn't watch anymore. Sarah is a pretty lady but she keeps getting cast as too old or too young and am I the only one who sees it?

Only have Seen Episode 3 and 4 on German Television. The Rating is top Low IMO. Many extrem Low Ratings (1or 2 Stars) are not fair, because obvious older people (Parents?) Cannot Accept the Situation. But it ist a Comedy,so so Not Take IT seriously, there is a Lot to laugh about and Heart warming stuff too. Oscar night Episode was funny and the imaginary Girl in the next Episode was'nt stupid, so go on watching

Watched it when it was on tv and bought it when it was available on Vudu. Still love watching it and it still makes me laugh!!!

Honestly, I'm not sure why everyone is downing the show! It's not Masterpiece Theatre, but it has it's moments. I think Sarah Chalke is charming, and her parents are amusing. Brad Garrett is a good comedian, and has just been dealt some not so popular shows. Her mom's Drug and alcohol usage makes her relatable, even though I know many folks out there wont admit that. I think there are too many reality shows out there, and this is far better, if not just a lesser evil. Many of my favorite shows are getting canceled, and I'm really picky when it comes to having television I actually follow. The acting isn't bad, the plots are interesting and believable. Give it a chance!

Polly Green-Tatham (Sarah Chalke) leaves her husband Julian Tatham (Jon Dore) and is forced to move back home with her daughter Natalie. Her mother Elaine Green (Elizabeth Perkins) is a free-thinking liberated woman. Her stepfather Max Green (Brad Garrett) is traditional. Her husband keeps coming over. She befriends her much younger co-worker Jenn (Stephanie Hunt).

The parents are both just caricatures. It's hard to see the love or chemistry between them and the family. Sarah Chalke is the only good thing in this show. And it's not enough to keep the show going. Half a season is all there is and that's probably enough.
