The War at Home

Another TV series I love and don't think gets the appreciation it deserves is The War at Home - actually it's not about the appreciation it gets, it's about the fact that it's not so known. I truly think that Rob Lotterstein illustrated perfectly the idea of A FAMILY. You could say this is a new Married with Children show.




The parents who are always fighting over small things, the smallest kid using this as a way to make his parents do what he wants, the middle child who is said to have problems, and the biggest one, the teenager girl who has emotional problems constantly, all mixed up with incredibly funny lines make up this can't-hate / must-love show.

Maybe not any family can see itself in this series as there are some far-fetched situations - such as parents smoking weed - or maybe those are quite common in other countries but not in Romania. Also, Michael Rapaport is acting quite weird for a dad, in my opinion. He is a bit unrealistic, but it's not that bad eventually.

It has 2 seasons and for Family Guy lovers, this series also features Seth MacFarlane in an episode, in a quite freaky role!

I could talk on and on about this show but I actually want to re-watch another episode and I suggest you all do the same!

I was amazed that more people like Two and a Half Men than Family Guy and Joey had more votes than Simpsons but mainly it was a decent result, in my opinion.

What i wanted to ask is all the people who voted "other" to send me a comment with the specific name of those comedy shows. Thanks :)

New poll coming soon.
