This show is awesome! I love it because it's real and this is exactly how me in my immediate family talk to each other. We talk about all the same things they talk about on this show. It's amazing I bought all 3 seasons.

This is what's needed. Finally a real show like "Martin" "Sanford and Son" "etc." they don't make shows like that anymore and this show is really getting back to classic tv shows. We need more like it.
