9/10
Common Sense vs Today's Values
25 July 2020
It's good to see a show that shines a light on some of the all to real child rearing problems seen in the United States. Problems that actually started showing up 20 years ago or more. The family that's the focus of this show is just a normal family with the usual kinds of quirks here and there, and the kinds of things they run up against with two small children. One of the children is completely new to school the school seems to be run in a way that would more than please the most radical helicopter parents. Which clashes with the way this family has been raising these two little girls up till now. Will Sasso is terrific and has the usual rough edges on his personality that you might find in working man. And he and his wife have agreed, for the most part, no how their kids have been brought up so far. Through in the VERY quirky grandmother (Jane Curtin) and so far there's a been a lot of laughs. And some very welcome to see more traditional values in the home and as it relates to the way their children are schooled. This is only the shows second episode. And as the title makes clear one of the kids has a biting problem at school. And in the current environment where everything is a crisis and problems are blown out of all proportion. The writers manage to come up with a well written episode that is sensitive to both sides. But definitely leans towards a more common sense approach, all done humor. Just watching Sasso's expressions is a lot of fun.
