Three real-life siblings star in this series about an older brother who returns to the family business a year after his father dies. Joe just wants to cash out his share, but he realizes that the business could use his help -- and his half brothers need a father figure. Now Joe is clashing with his equally strong-willed stepmother about how to run the business and deal with the boys.

The show was mostly a gimmick to cash in on the teenybopper status of the Lawrence brothers. But it was also harmless, vintage '90s bubblegum fun. Go to Full Review Daniel Kurland Screen Rant 08/13/2019
It's a sweet show that doesn't try to overextend itself or be more than it is, but it's still pretty dull television. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 08/13/2019
