Ellie A if u like modern family or similar comedies u will love the family oriented experiences, but in a split into 4 -5 minute shorts about the “Short family “ Held up with a brilliant cast that bounce off each other so well and bring life, comedic energy and cohesion, the children are also extremely talented and funny and also play an amazing part of the shows comedic style, in my opinion, i love the various dynamics, struggles and victories easy episode brings, fun to watch and fun all seasons Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member The worst castmate is Colin Hanks, Tom Hanks' son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review tom m Entire series: Quite entertaining. The young actress, Giselle Eisenberg, is great. She totally cracks me up. Consistently decent writing, acting and production. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This was one hell of a series. CBS moved it around, started late in the year or midseason and didn't promote it. It was obviously not a Chuck Lorre show, since there was no laugh track. And so CBS shelved it to make way for horrid shows! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show. Actors are fantastic from top to bottom. Congrats to Standard TV on producing such a great product. Should have run longer than 4 seasons. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I am so sad to see this show go, it was one of my top 10 favorite comedies of all time and one of my favorite tv shows of all time. The writing is hilarious. The acting was stupendous especially from Dianne Wiest, Zoe Lister-Jones, James Brolin, Dan Bakkedahl, Giselle Eisenberg, Colin Hanks, Thomas Sadoski, Angelique Cabral, Betsey Brandt, Joey King, and Vivaan Bisoi, they all gave hilarious performances. An A+ final season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
