That was an excellent one.

Strictly average movie

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Amateur movie with Big budget

I've only been able to catch one episode so far - I don't know why it's not playing on a US cable network - it's pretty funny. This show should be picked-up by one of the networks on DirecTv here; I guess it's just a matter of time.I never read the books or anything, but the story line of the episode I saw was pretty funny - the kid who played Alice's boyfriend was an absolute freak.I like the kid (Connot something or other) who plays her brother, and the dad (Dan Payne). Dan's a bit of a freak - he should be doing Saturday Night Live or something - I think his inner funny is trying to get out - though he looks a bit more leading-man type.

Great show, my three kids are in the same age bracket as the children on this show and they love it. Entertaining characters, have only seen two episodes but am looking forward to seeing further development of the characters and how they feed off each other. All four of the main "family" characters are very colorful, favorites are Alice and her Dad as they seem to be the most well developed humorous characters. Looking forward to tonight's episode where the handsome Dad does some goofy modeling. Dan Payne does a great job of playing a sensitive yet somewhat bumbling father in this show, his comedic presence definitely brings a very funny warmth to the show.

The show is exhilarating!!! It's Life from the point of view of a teenager, with a dumb dad, a health-nuts mom, a younger brother (who seems nice, for now, but I'd give him an episode or two to become a pain in the neck for his sister), and a group of weird friends (relatives?). Sounds pretty normal, but I started laughing from the first gag! Dan Payne's face is priceless when he looks at the toilet brush! And the whole educational pamphlets thing? Oh boy!!! ROFLMAO Bring on the new episodes!! And I REALLY hope it comes out on DVD as soon as season 1 is over! Oh, and, PLEASE, more screen time for Mr. Payne... he is F U N N Y!!!!

This show is like a live action 'Family Guy'! The Dad character is hilarious! I hope there are more and I hope the US gets it so all my friends can understand what I keep telling them about the show! The best part is there is something for everyone. I thought it might be for teens more but the Dad guy and his friends are great for adults! Finally a quality Canadian program! I hope there is more to come! It started on the comedy network channel but now it is also on CTV Which I didn't know until my friend pointed it out! Check it out Sundays CTV @7pm Canada brings the comedy! The story lines are based on books by Susna Juby whose writings are internationally renowned. It is really cool to see characters come to life from books. I only read the books because my daughter read them and I heard her giggling and thought I better screen her literary choices. Glad I did! I am not sure where the show is going to go from here but I hope it keeps going. It, like Corner Gas, is helping strengthen the Canadian world of TV respect. If anyone knows more about Dan Payne (the Dad) and Connor Price (the son) please let me know? Just wondering if I have seen them before!
