I find it very disappointing that this show got cancelled. I think it is much better than a lot of other shows we have on TV.It wasn't exactly what I expected. I thought there would be more rude, unPC, dirty humor. Instead it was more of a family sitcom. One problem I had is that sometimes the idea seemed to be great and yet it wasn't presented in it's full potential. There were episodes where it seemed like they wanted to make it more touching and contain life lessons than make it funny I did like the cast. William Shatner was great in the role of Ed. I think he did it perfectly. It was actually the first time I saw him act (I never watched Star Trek or Boston Legal) and I must say I was impressed. I know there isn't much love for Jonathan Sadowski, but I think he did a good job. There were some moments in the beginning when I thought he could do better but for the most part he did it right. Will Sasso's character Vince was my favorite on the show and he did a great job, just as Nicole Sullivan who played his wife. I think I liked pretty much every storyline involving the two.In this season there were some episodes that I loved, some that I hated, but all in all I enjoyed the show. I think the problems I mentioned would be easy to deal with and I feel like this show would have improved in the second season

i really did not know what to expect from this. Then i saw it was a KOMUT show. So OK, let's give it a try. After half of the pilot i was hooked. William Shatner is excellent . He reminds me of my own father ( :-) ) The situations are also great (WS in a gay restaurant, i mean it's priceless). The only downside is Henry, he needs to get more lines or act a little bit better. The relations between WS and his sons are also greatly written. Full of humor but there's always a message underneath.The show will really take off if they have guest stars , noticeable guest stars (like all the Star Trek crew members :-) Jean Smart is great . There is chemistry between her and WS.

I've been watching the advertisements for about 4 months, and I decided to record the pilot episode. I watch a recording of The Big Bang Theory, followed by this, and I'm like, WOW! This is really terrible. It's about a 30-year-old man who moves in with his elderly father, who says a bunch of random $#*!, while the dad's other son and his wife stop by from time to time, and it seems like they serve no point to the show whatsoever. Everything about this show was bad, the acting, the writing, the gags, oh yeah, there are no gags. The plot is somewhat overused, and I hope this is the last sitcom based off a twitter account. The account is funny, the show is not. I couldn't even watch half of the pilot episode, I deleted it right away, and I pray that CBS will make the right decision, and cancel this $#*!ty show. If you're going to watch a funny comedy series on Thursday Night at 8:30, then watch 30 Rock. Quite possibly, the worst show of all time since Jersey Shore.

While opinions seems to vary greatly, I like the show and find the cast well balanced. Shatner, at 79 has great timing and his relationship with Henry is something we can relate to as our parents age.The dad's advice is mostly right but he offers it with such a bitter pill that it is too hard to swallow. Who doesn't have a relative that is probably right in their wisdom but you just can't stand hearing the sound of their voice for one more minute.For the distracters I will agree that the new character responsible for taking care of Shatner pulls the show down and I am hoping they write of his character quickly (nothing against the actor, it just doesn't fit with the mood - 2 is company, 3 is a crowd). I hope the show gets a full session and I will definitely be tuning in for the long haul.
