Kirpianuscus first - for the theme. the lives of couples remains always a generous subject . then - for performances. humor. clichés. and, sure, the chance for viewer to identify him with the characters. the simplicity of humor could be the key for its success. because it is a series who has the science to use stereotypes. and this is the axis of the balance between old war between men and women, the different expectations and refuges. short, a nice series. and this is one of the virtues who saves the small mistakes of script/cast, who reminds real situations and who gives to the character a special charm because each seems be part of every day reality. so, nothing surprising. but comfortable.

shalexan I honestly LOVE everything about the show! My husband and I have watched every episode more than once. And I love their home. I would love to know where all the art came from. If someone can send me some information on that, I would LOVE it. - Art work in living room. - Curtain in bathroom. - Art work in family room. I am trying to buy some for my house and would love to buy that type of artwork for it. It's perfect. If they ever sell what's on set - please let me know......that would be amazing! Keep the show going.....it's one of those shows that makes me laugh every time. I look forward to it, after a long day at work. Please help! Thank you, Shirley.

Chadwick Ahn One of my favorite things on American television are the sitcoms. They never get old, even though most of them revolve around the same thing: relationships. Rules of Engagement is no exception. The recently canceled series focuses on five New Yorkers (later six, including the addition of Timmy played by Adhir Kalyan). Adam (Oliver Hudson) and Jennifer (Bianca Kajlich) are the young couple experiencing the early stages of a relationship while Jeff (Patrick Warburton) and Audrey (Megyn Price) are the married couple who've been there, done that. Russel (David Spade) is the playboy of the group who has yet to be in a committed relationship and prefers seducing women. Does any of this sound familiar? The setup is similar to the popular show, How I Met Your Mother, however Rules of Engagement has more dry humor and doesn't try so hard to be funny. (I'm looking at you Ted.) Also, unlike HIMYM, RoE maintains its humor as the seasons continue and doesn't go off on a tangent with dull story lines.All of the characters have extreme personality traits that allow each of them to offer something different to the table. Patrick Warburton usually steals the show with his monotonous delivery of punchlines and typical husband behaviors. He also has the best lines that normally involve sarcasm and teasing. Oliver Hudson is a close competitor, portraying an extremely naive and funny, but well-intentioned fiancé.Some of the material gets a bit repetitive and overdone, such as Russel and Timmy's master and servant relationship, but that's a problem that every sitcom faces. Still, Rules of Engagement is definitely an underrated show and deserves a chance from everyone, especially those who think that Two and a Half Men and HIMYM are the best sitcoms ever. Those shows robbed RoE of the spotlight.

jpeach17 So this is okay to watch, average at best. The premise of the show being different stages of relationships seems quite smart going into it, but as you start watching you realise there isn't much new about this show.Patrick Warburton is great in this and to me is one of very few things that makes it watchable. Spade on the other hand, comes across very much like the poor man's version of Neil-Patrick Harris.I watched the whole of the first series only laughing out loud a few times at most. It seems like a good go-to programme if nothing else is on, but not something to go out of the way to watch.
