The first 7~ seasons of this show are great! Filled with great, overlapping plots, funny one-liners and hilarious guest stars.

A fun, modern sitcom with an impressive ensemble cast that strays FAR away from the traditional four camera, live studio audience shows of days past.

The show takes a look inside the lives of 3 separate upper-middle-class nuclear families and their day-to-day lives; and how their lives relate to each other.

It looks unique on the outside, but it obviously does follow the typical sitcom formula, usually tying all three storylines together at the end of the episodes. The characters and plots are semi-predictable; crotchety old man, goofy kids falling into the typical categories of smart, pretty, or dumb as their sole personality trait, flamboyant gay men, bumbling husbands and stay-at-home moms. Their family structure is what makes them so unique, but there's very little beyond that. The show is full of toxic relationships and whimsical plots against a backdrop of mostly-white suburbia.

The later seasons become basically unwatchable. One of the worst, in my opinion, is the episode where the 5 year old Joe unsuccessfully and extremely awkwardly attempts to seduce Clair, his married, 45 year old SISTER. It's utterly unfunny, disturbingly strange and makes you wonder what the writers were smoking when they wrote it. Joe is my least favorite character, and he just became more annoying the older he got. His plots always feel shoehorned in, and their only purpose is to allow for more of Jay's grumpy grandpa humor to be used, often at the expense of his own family. None of the characters ever learn any lessons, or at least never take what they learn to heart, and watching 11 seasons of the same 22 minute episodes over and over again gets old, fast.

You're probably better off not finishing the show.
