Ok, first of all, my rating. I'm only giving this one 3 stars. And it deserves every bit of them and more I'm sure from others'. This one will make you cringe one minute and then something else altogether will make you smile cheek to cheek. Actors really hit their spots. I think the writing gave way when they hit the whole selling of the house dilemma. Great thing about this show is there aren't really plot giveaways. Each show is an experience and if your best pal tells you everything that happens, it just doesn't compare to watching it yourself. Try this one out and you won't regret it.

I like how this show does not have the violence,sex and such as every show has now days. I am disappointed that the writer's felt the need to add a lesbian with Hattie. The way the writer's introduced the whole college experimentation phase takes away from the seriousneness guy couples truly face. I do not feel we need this in every show made these days. I hope next season they right this wrong or I may have another show I wont watch. There are not many shows left that are truly wholesome these days.

Wonderful moving show. Amazing all around. Suggest it to anyone with a family or even having a family isn't an issue trust me. I'm not easily moved. I'm a widow..single mom of four , it's Inspirational. Ray Ramano in later seasons will blow you away with his serious believable acting of such a complex award.He is not just a comedian or Ray from Everonelovesray....Deserves an award the performance warrants one
