TV Review: The War At Home - Comments Page 2

I have read reviews of FOX's The War At Home that chastise it for being borderline racist, homophobic, and sexist. It is indeed all those things and that doesn't concern me. There is one reason (and only one reason) why I think The War At Home is a terrible show...it's unfunny.…

    This show is great, it shows what real american families are like these days. Thank god it's coming out with another season (sept 10th) just to prove people like you wrong.

    I agree that the show stinks. I love watching FOX on Sunday nights... except for this show. I've tried watching it a few times and it's just not funny. I hate when funny, innovative shows gets canceled... and crap like this stays on the air.

    This show was actually called "Grounded for Life" at one time, then they re-casted due to cutbacks.

    I can't take any of the scenes seriously w/ Rappaport and his daughter.. My god they look as if they could date.. If you look at the more successful show of this type, the fathers (Al Bundy, Homer, guy from AITF) are noticeably older and the generation gap is understandably funny... Not here though.. Rapps looks late 30's and daughter looks like she is in her early 20's.. Nobody has mentioned this on the blog, am I alone on this b/c may in fact be it's biggest flaw.
    Also, it's funny how noticable it is that writers/employees of this show are blogging on this site..
