This documentary on the Vietnam War.no on the war on terrorism. Oh wait, sorry this is a comedy series that has somehow managed to survive more than one season. In this day and age a show that The parents in this family sitcom were pretty wild as teenagers and find themselves having to deal with their own teenagers now. Dave (Michael Rappaport) and Vicky (Anita Barone) have to contend with their three teenagers; 15 year old Larry (Kyle Sullivan) who isn't exactly Mr. Popular at school, 16 year old Hillary (Kaylee Defer) entering the twilight zone of dating and a makes talking back into an art form and 13 year old Mike (Dean Collins) who's hormones are raging. The gimmick that sells the show is the fact that we're able to go inside the family's heads through the use of a "confessional space" where every literally speaks their mind. I have to be honest here-this show is an acquired taste. I wasn't one of those who actually enjoyed the series. After two seasons the show was cancelled by Fox (just before the DVD release as a matter of fact). ---

Image & Sound:

The DVD looks far from war-torn with a nice, sharp and crisp transfer. The anamorphic transfer looks good with nice natural skin tones. Audio sounds solid as well. We get 22 episodes 30 minute episodes spread out over three discs as a result there's little of the compression artifacts one might see from putting too much information on a single disc. ---

The three special features we get are decent with the highlight being "Living Room Confessions" where the cast and creative crew discuss their characters, the situations they face as a "family" and various episodes from the first season. We also get a gag reel (which curiously always seem less funny for comedies than dramas) and deleted scenes. ---
