Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Raising Hope, start here.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Before their parents got married to one another, 15-year-old Derek and 14-year-old Casey ruled their respective houses as the oldest sibling. Now they're in constant rivalry for top dog status of the five kids all living under one roof. The two teens will plot anything they can think of at school, with friends or other siblings to win these funny family battles.
