This is a clear rip-off of Malcolm in the Middle (which I actually liked, as other posters here stated as well). Anyone who can't understand this is simply stupid. Two of the writers of MIM were behind this farce, along with Justin Berfield (whom I actually respected before this) producing it. Justin in fact proves to the world that you simply cannot regurgitate a formula (i.e. 3 brothers against adults) and expect it to work just because a previous hit used it. And sadly, Justin just couldn't resist a spot in FRONT of the camera in the last episode, playing some obnoxious neighbor who everyone is instantly supposed to revile...even though there was no set-up or motivation to do so before this episode...which means it doesn't work. With all disrespect to the brain-dead, clueless wannabe "film critic" here whom no one has ever heard of, listens to or cares about in any way, this mess could only be appreciated by someone too stupid to understand the difference between good and bad comedy.

I find it interesting that the first review I read of this says that it's a Malcom In The Middle rip-off.The fool claims to be a huge Malcom fan and says he can tell they "poached" some of the writers from that show.He managed to prove he's an idiot and possibly a liar, all while thinking he was zinging this show.If he was really a fan of Malcom(or had ever paid attention to this show), he would have noticed that Justin Berfield(Reese from Malcom) was the executive producer of this show.Instead of talking about the obvious facts, he just makes up lies and feels like a big man.I have watched every episode three times and never once thought it was anything like Malcom.Thinking about it now all I can see that they had in common was that there were three boys on both shows.But then I paid attention to the show.Anyway, this was one of those few shows I watched from the very first day it aired.It's also the reason I stopped doing that.Not that I didn't enjoy the show but every time I get into a new show they start moving it around and then they cancel it.Which is exactly what happened to this show.While the premise is hard to buy into and there are plenty of plot holes, this show is really funny.They had plenty of guest stars and even tried to use Joe Lo Truglio as the wacky best friend.Unfortunately they decided to focus on the kids and Joe isn't seen much after the second episode.I won't waste time pointing out all the plot holes and things that don't make sense, there are too many of both.I will say that despite those small flaws, this is a funny show.Too bad it got cancelled.

Gary, Brandon, and Robby Gunderson are brothers who traveled from Jersey to live in an investment home in Tucson, Arizona after their banker father was sent to prison. Ron Snuffkin (Tyler Labine) is a homeless slacker working at a sports equipment store. The boys hire him to pretend to be their father and avoid child services. It starts as a $200 job for a hour-long school meeting but soon becomes a deal for $300 a week and a place to stay. The boys stick Ron in the backyard tool shed. Glenn is Ron's longtime friend and Glenn's bossy wife Angela intends to keep them apart.It's a lot of wild irreverent hijinx. Labine has always played this brash slacker slob type. This show is the embodiment of Labine's persona. The three boys deliver specific characters who bring chaos into this unusual family. This was canceled after four episodes with nine more in total. One of the things that early episodes missed is the heart. The anger and chaos can overwhelm the show. On a minor note, this show is missing a main female character to balance out the show. It has a few laughs but the audience was never big enough.

I have to agree with the other two reviews that have been posted so far. I loved Reaper, I love The Loop, and I loved Sons of Tucson. There are a few other shows I loved as well and they were canceled before being given a chance. I am curious about the ratings of Survivor at this point. I would have to think they are much lower than they used to be yet they keep churning out show-after-show of fake drama.Day Break was another one that got axed early and it was only slated for 13 episodes at the very beginning. What's the point of canceling it when it is slated as only one season? Viewer outcry at least drove the network to run the rest of the episodes online as I believe the Black Donnellys might have as well.I think it is time to do more than the Nielson system. I cannot understand, with all of the other unwanted intrusion in our lives, why cable cannot just do real time ratings as well as take into account DVRs, online viewing, etc...
