I loved this show - quick and funny episodes. My mom, my boyfriend and I each laughed nearly constantly throughout the first two episodes we've seen.Two teenagers, one who barely got her credits to graduate (Molly), the other who is valedictorian and Stanford-bound (Junior), learn they are going to have a child. The moms are supportive and try to keep the dads in line (one is a Latino boxer, the other a Caucasian orthodontist, who are immediately at heads with each other). There are jokes made about everything from overreacting to what not to during pregnancy, to patriarchal aspects of society and the need for feminism, to simply various aspects of family life as the two families try to figure out their role in helping their teenage son and daughter in their upcoming pregnancy.It's an interesting dynamic to see two teenagers pregnant and in love, two supportive mothers who have become friends, and two dads who can't get along with each other. How this affects Molly's parents plan to be empty-nesters, how it affects Junior's acceptance into Stanford, and simply how things are going to work is interesting to watch, especially with the various levels of conflict amongst family members, wives trying to get their husbands to be kind and civil, and the humor mixed in made for a great, care-free, half-hour comedy to watch.There was also no fake laughter in the show, which I preferred.It really was a great show and I would recommend it to anyone. I hope another network picks it up.

I would have never watched this show, if not for the bad reviews already out there, I had to watch the episodes on line which were available. After watching the first two, I am more surprised that this abomination was cast after someone might have read the script. There is barely a laugh in the first two episodes, in fact I felt bad for the actors who were hamming up the tired old gags for a laugh. Both male leads play it so that you can't help but to not like either of them. This is unfunny, terribly acted, and an unlikable cast from top to bottom, everyone, and everything that happens is stolen from everything else you have ever watched before.

Simply put, this show is not funny on any level. For one reviewer to even mention it in the same breath as All In The Family or The Odd Couple shows how little that reviewer knows about either of the those two well-written shows.Every contrivance possible is thrown into this mess of a pilot episode; the only thing missing is the kitchen sink.Despite the hard work of the cast, WTTF is beyond lame. It lacks anything resembling creativity and is dreary in its execution. Speaking of execution, I hope this show is sent to its rightful place: cancellation.

A bunch of new family sitcoms is out this season. Mom, Dads, The MJ Fox show etc. etc. and ...Welcome to the family.This is another predictable quirky comedy, like many others, with a plot device already seen many times elsewhere: An unpredictable pregnancy brings to union two (not so different in this case) families. The 2 fathers-in-law had an unfortunate meeting before the sudden news, so they are starting with the wrong foot, but this is not a big deal and ultimately the 2 families are perfect match for each other.Personally I like the pace of this better than the others. Doesn't seem like is shot in a studio but more like in actual houses and has a hint of a movie production although is certainly more fast-paced than that.The cast isn't stellar. I already forget the faces of the actors except Mary McCormack, who I was trying to remember "Who is this woman who looks like Maria Bello". Performances are OK I guess.Also a big plus: There isn't a laugh track to "force" you to laugh.I was about to put it a generous " 6 " for the pilot but I cut one point after seeing next week's trailer and a scene which involves 2 grown men (the fathers in-law) punching each others in the nuts.Anyway, not a series that you will bring up in a conversation and recommend to others to see, but its not as bad as some other newcomers this season.Overall: If you spare some time to kill, consider checking it out.
