User Reviews
Yeah, you aren't supposed to like this one. And even if you go to IMDB, you are so not supposed to like this that they are removing all positive reviews...
... and people talk about review bombing.
Anyway, I've never met someone from the Middle East like Al. I really don't know what that accent is supposed to be, but whatever, the actor was funny and should have been recast.
But really this is a good family show that is positive for the entire family. It has a two good fathers (unique in today's world where fathers are always depicted as horrible or idiotic) it has a positive message about family, and it even says a few good things about this country.
So of course you're not supposed to like it. But you should anyway, because we need more shows like this.
