O2D This show is so bad that it will be hard to point out all the horrible points in the IMDb character limit.First of all, it's just not funny.In the first episode the only "jokes" that were close to funny were referencing decades old pop culture.One daughter told the other to stop dressing like Daria.No one under 50 knows who that is.But this show is all clichés.One slutty daughter and one nerdy daughter?Haven't seen that for almost a week.I won't point out the dozens of shows who have done that because if you don't know, you can't be helped.This show is another Patrick Warburton tragedy.He was great as a side character but no one with funny jokes would ever make him a star.A squinting retard with a silly haircut is not what anyone wants to see.Even if the show was funny, he's too hard to take.To top it off, the grandparents are the least realistic characters ever.I could say tons more but here's reality...it's a 10 o'clock sitcom.Ever hear of those?No, because they don't work.This show was dead on arrival.

dakotatampa-1 I loved Patrick Wharburton in Rules of Engagement who had much better actors to play off him, but he is always the same character - even in this show...which is OK, but the rest of the cast does not look like they gel together. I've tried to watch it a few times since it debuted but I find it boring. I just leave it on so I won't miss Dateline. Story lines that are predictable and a laugh track that reminds me of the 70s and 80s sitcoms. Carrie Preston is not a good match for Wharburton, as they don't look like they would be together. And I find it difficult to think of her as this psychotherapist when I still see her as Arlene from True Blood. The daughters characters are self absorbed and seem to have no direction at all, while the Stacey Keach as the grandfather is cool, its not enough to carry the show. The writing is lack luster as mentioned with predictable story lines, 1 dimensional characters and no thought as to how these actors would blend as a family and pull it off. NOT!

atlasmb By episode four, this new show starring Patrick Warburton (as father of the family, Mike Moore) is coming into focus. If you like Warburton's comedic styling, you will probably like this show. He will remind you of David Puddy from "Seinfeld", but Mike is not as dim-witted. Carrie Preston plays his wife, Martina. And the two millennial daughters who simultaneously return to the household to nest are Stella (Mia Serafino) and Shea (Miranda Cosgrove).But the family doesn't end there. Stacy Keach is Mike's father, Bob--a hard-nosed retired detective. His wife Alice is played by Carlease Burke. And Clifford McGhee plays Alice's son, Ethan. Though there is the occasional joke about the adult child returning home, the episodes do not focus on that topic. Actually, they are still laying the groundwork in the first four episodes. But the relationships are beginning to develop and more laugh out loud moments are occurring.At this point, I will grade this show a "7", hoping that the writers can get into a groove as the Moores become more like family to viewers. When I consider that another well-written show, "Modern Family", relies upon its well-defined characters for its hilarity, I know that "Crowded" can possibly achieve similar results.The two daughters, who might remind you of the daughters on "Modern Family", need to become more central to the focus of this show. There is untapped potential there.

Victoria Lac I don't know why people think this show is crap. I find it a good show to chill out to. I find it realistic. Beside Mirandas character which I don't like. It feels like how families are now a days. They deal with things that are more common in everyday life . Parents dealing sec and the father has issues and resentment towards the father aka the grandfather. One teen is out experimenting and partying. The other teen is a super nerd that isn't very sociable.I'm 29 and the young adults around don't know how good they have it. I had my first real paying job at 13. By 16 I was paying rent. I got my own pager and then my own cell. The teenagers and young adults live off their parents and their parents pay for everything. My own brother got his first job at 26 and he's younger then me. The show isn't amazing but it's pretty OK
