Synopsis

Freddie Moreno had finally escaped from the raucous house of women with whom he grew up. Having achieved some success as head chef at a trendy Chicago restaurant, he's ready for love and everything else that single life has to offer, including hanging out with his best friend and neighbor, Chris. Unfortunately, there's one slight hitch: After the death of his older brother and the collapse of his sister's marriage, goodhearted Freddie took in his impulsive sister-in-law, his pragmatic sister with her 13-year-old daughter and their irascible grandma, who refuses to speak English and only responds in Spanish – even though she understands every word. But while the members of this unconventional brood may test Freddie's patience endlessly, they also support and take care of one another, just as they always have. Now all Freddie has to do is figure out how to maintain his thriving bachelor lifestyle in a house overflowing with estrogen.

Reviews

Vanessa A Yes, the acting at times was laughable.Yes, the show was not the best out there.And yes, the script too, at times, was just plain lame.BUT.BUT.But it should NOT have been cancelled.I'll never forgive ABC for cancelling this show. *bitter* There were many funny moments per episode, particularly those including Chris or Grandma...The weakest casting choice was the role of Zoey. Chloe's acting as Zoey was terrible. However, it was her fist acting role so she may have gotten better with experience.... *shrug* ANYWAY, POINT IS, this show could have gone to do a LOT better had it not been cancelled.
smooth_op_85 The first episode I watched of Freddie was after Max and Freddie's niece were really talking to each other on line and George and Freddie got into a fight thinking the other was a pervert. It was on after the George Lopez Show where Max and Zoe met.The episode was about Zoe and Max meeting finally but it appears that George and Freddie were old friends both in life and in the episode. George says something about success making him 'soft' but in reality your success only makes you soft to people who aren't willing to chase their own dreams and goals. It is a technique called transference nobody likes you when you're successful except for those who want to be successful also.You'd have to see the way it happens when they air it again, but I can't wait to see the show back again.
kanookjl actually I think the show is hysterical ! and so do a lot of other people I know. We all talk about it at work- I love it I think he did a great job all the other cast members are great Brian Austin Green great to see him back and so funny. Not only is it good for adults there is laughter for young adults too. I think they should pick up this show for a full season. I was sad to see it was not on this week and thought it might have been canceled but there is another show on January 25th. Freddie is great its about time. We need laughter in our living rooms again.I cant wait for the next episode. I know a lot of people have comments about this show but in my experience if they keep it, it will be a hit.
Dushqueen Don't get me wrong i like Freddie Prinze Jr, I'm think he is kinda cute, and have a couple of nice roles in movies. But i still don't get him as a funny guy...oh wait: a latino funny rich chef guy! since when Freddy is Latino?, i didn't know that...anyway...the point is the series is not that bad, i admit i am very surprise to see Austin Green playing comedy very nicely...and the girls on the show are quite good too. But Freddie as a leading role...he is trying so hard to be like Matt Le Blanc in Joey, and he looks a little bit like him too ( well without some extra pounds..sorry Matty), you can see he is trying to much to be funny...or at least is what i see. Anyway watch the series, and good luck i know Fred is a nice guy, and he deserve success, lets see if with a full season i can change my mind...
