jplusj-47941 We just picked this up on Hallmark and are bummed that there is no second season. It will leave you hanging. I can't believe they would not find a way to do season 2. It has real life situations with real answers, not having to pollute the air with bad language or stunts to keep it interesting. Bring it back!!!!

mpaxton-27942 I enjoyed this show as it isn't perfect, as is life. It proves shows can depict the gritty side of true life without being overly graphic. A perfect balance of the good and the bad. I especially appreciate the problem solving and the way the McLean family takes responsibility of the niece and nephew, giving them some stability in their lives. I also appreciate the fact that things don't always turn out the way you want them to, and there are not always happy endings, as we would like, but shows how you take what is dealt and work your way through it. I wish there were more shows like this. This show was unpredictable, and best of all, DECENT for the entire family. I get so tired of these shows where every other word is bleep, bleep bleep! Thanks so much.

Secretary I voted 7 because I just can't stand Jackie. The "recovering" alcoholic mother with the annoying enabling teenage daughter (Mariah) and that says a lot for the actors because I work in the mental health/substance abuse field and those people could walk in to my office any day, that's how accurately they play their parts. I just love this show, I never miss it (thank goodness for our DVR/genie) and I sure hope they will have a 2nd season at least. I enjoy the whole thing, the family setting, Allison's patience and toughness, Matt's occasional outbursts of humanness (as when he had to give up his office for the queen of me-me-me Jackie) the slow change in Cameron, the loveliness and kindness of the resident teenagers. Thank you UP for giving us this series, I usually wait for the Sunday night movies, this was a pleasant surprise. Please give us a season 2.

Adriaan Someone opened up a can of clichés and this show rolled out. Teenagers are either sulky, angry or catatonic. Parents are either good or bad. Sprinkle with average acting and obvious plots and, voilà, there's your new TV show. It's a shame the writers haven't tried to come with stories and personalities that aren't black or white. If that wasn't clear enough, the scene where they sit around the table praying before dinner already hints that the show's creators aim not to offend anyone. The tag line of "Every line will be crossed" is therefore wildly misplaced. They won't be crossing any lines and every person in the show can be put in a well-defined box.
