I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Just perfect...

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

"Grounded For Life" was probably the best sitcom since Seinfeld wrapped. The family was funny as hell.Kevin Corrigan rocked as always as Eddie. "Grounded...." reminded me of "Married with Children" a lot. OK, not as funny as MWC but a close second. It really cracked me up a lot. The way it was made with all the flashbacks was a pretty innovative approach to keep it interesting. It was really different from other series because of that. I wish they had continued the show longer!! It was way too short-lived as a series. All the performances were pretty good all around. Of course, with Megyn Price and Kevin Corrigan as stand-outs for hilarity. A must have in your DVD collection especially seasons 2 and 3.

Grounded for Life is the funniest show on television. My favorite character is Eddie Finnerty (Corrigan). He portrays the role of a care-free uncle perfectly. I also love the kids and how they are challenged by new obstacles every day, even though they turn the situation from bad to worse! Sean (Logue) and Claudia (Price) both show that being a young couple of three isn't an easy path to go down. Each episode was different and was laugh-out-loud funny. I watch the re-runs every chance I get and I still laugh at the same jokes. I loved the newer episodes and I wished that the sitcom hadn't ended so soon. Overall though, it was a great show and I enjoyed every minute of it!

This show was just recently added to ABC Family's afternoon lineup, along with shows like Full House, Boy Meets World, and Gilmore Girls. I had never ever heard of it before, but I figured it would be halfway decent since it was in a lineup with other great shows. However, I don't like this show at all. The story lines are never realistic, I don't find the material funny at all, and the characters are just plain pathetic, especially the role of Lily. She's the teenager in the story and her character is ridiculous. I like for TV shows to be somewhat realistic; this one doesn't even come close. Don't waste your time watching this show.

so this is'nt Malcolm in the middle...it's grounded for life, which is a pretty good show. it is now in it's fourth year on TV and it fills the Friday 8:30 PM slot just fine. i would guess that it won't be everybody's cup of tea, but give it a shot and i'm sure you'll find it quite funny. the actress who plays claudia is played by Megan Pryce, just watching her alone is worth the show, finally TV has a beautiful woman that is not under 106 lbs. for those of us in our 30's who are raising a family, i am sure you will find this program worth the watch. the Finnerty's get my vote for a Friday night viewing! hope you like them as well. WB Friday nights at 8:30PM (as of 10/4/04)
