Synopsis

Right out of high school, Sean Finnerty got his girlfriend Claudia pregnant. Now she’s his wife, and at just 32, he’s somehow found himself with 14-year-old daughter Lily, two little boys, and a constant struggle between his need to be responsible and his desperate desire to be irresponsible. His judgmental father Walt and devil-may-care brother Eddie are no help at all. When they all get together, stories always start to fly. Of course, Sean’s family will never let him finish a story; they interrupt, they debate, they derail, they defend themselves; just like any good family would.

cmobrien84 I really liked this show back in the day and I think it's still good today plus I think the mom is really fit for an older bird! The show follows a lower/medium income urban family of 5 with a witty renegade uncle and jovial aloof grandfather making constant appearances. Originally airing on fox in 2001 it last for a few seasons then canceled and picked up by ABC family for the last of the series. Good acting for laugh track comedy, it kind of reminds me of a modern, more slap stick version of Roseanne. Ground for Life hits on all the stereotypical family dilemma but does it with pretty high production value given the nature of the show. Plus Donald Logue is a top notch character actor in his own right!
Leonboss I have just watched this again as it plays on Trouble channel in the UK I think it is very different to anything else around it deserves respect, Everyone in the show is perfect for their roles. Honestly I thought it was tacky, crap when I first watched it but it grows on you and whoever writes it is a genius. Clever and original if you ask me. I love the original writing its real and very funny, Sean is hilarious but believable, Claudia is very attractive and holds her own whilst acting as the mom of three kids, Lily the little Ginger does great as well as the loud mouth nutter, Jimmy the little pervert plays his role good as well, he is believable. I cannot fault this sitcom, it makes the likes of the War at Home look like crap. And do not forget Eddie. Dry sense of humor love it
pumpkinsteph This show was just recently added to ABC Family's afternoon lineup, along with shows like Full House, Boy Meets World, and Gilmore Girls. I had never ever heard of it before, but I figured it would be halfway decent since it was in a lineup with other great shows. However, I don't like this show at all. The story lines are never realistic, I don't find the material funny at all, and the characters are just plain pathetic, especially the role of Lily. She's the teenager in the story and her character is ridiculous. I like for TV shows to be somewhat realistic; this one doesn't even come close. Don't waste your time watching this show.
Eoin This show is brilliant,really funny.those who say it is the worst show,well they really dont know what good tv is,and probably watch a load of crap shows.and ive looked at some of the comments,and people have said the kid actors are terrible.well these people are either jealous or just stupid.you dont get on tv if you are a bad actor.anywhere,any show,movie,play etc,no matter what itis,if u get it u are agood actor,if u are a bad actor,u dont get past the 1st auditions.this is a great show and well done to the wb for saving it.
