I also happened on this show while randomly cruising the channels. Initially I watched it because I've always had a crush on Jami Gertz, but the show has some very different humor that makes it rally worth watching. One of the interesting aspects of this show is how the humor is often uniquely funny yet occasionally horrid. Insult humor is, for me, about as unfunny as anything can get. So when the "jokes" lean towards portraying unconscionable behavior it rankles me deeply. Thankfully the majority of the time is spent on the honestly funny side of funny. I would recommend that everyone give it a viewing if possible. You might, like myself, find a little diamond in the rough.

I too discovered this show after production ended. Its hard to find a good sitcom these days, and this show seemed to be like all the rest, a husband and wife with kids. It's been done so many times, but this show by far is the best. I never knew Jamie Gertz could be so funny. Never heard of Mark Addy, but he is hysterical. The entire cast comes together well, and the show is hilarious. I find myself laughing out loud multiple times during every episode.I think if you're a fan of Roseanne, Home Improvement, King of Queens, Raymond, etc., you will love this one. I think it beats all those hands down.

This is easily one of the worst shows I've ever watched. It's absolutely stupid. The parents are frighteningly irresponsible; for example, in one episode they accompanied their son Brian on visits to prospective colleges. While Brian actually went on the college tours and was interested in what the schools had to offer, his parents were more concerned about the local bars and potential party life -- not for his welfare, but for their own enjoyment! They appear to be trapped in a teenaged mentality and it's a wonder that the kids are anywhere close to normal. I don't find it at all realistic that the parents are so incredibly messed up; I'm really not surprised this travesty was canceled and I can't understand why the Lifetime network picked it up. Leave it in the trash where it belongs.

"Still Standing" is the funniest family sitcom since "Roseanne." Every episode made me laugh. It's a shame it got canceled. Judy has got to be the funniest sitcom mom every. I love her sarcasm. Her relationship with her mother-in-law is priceless. I think most women can relate. The kids are great, too. Brian is the perfect nerd....he just makes you shake your head. Lauren is the epitome of a popular teenage girl....lying to her parents and dating the bad guys. Tina takes after her mother with her sarcasm, which is adorable because she's so young, but it's not annoying like most little kid actors that try to be sarcastic. And let's not forget Linda. Her wackiness just adds to the dysfunction. I love it! Bring "Still Standing" back!!!!
