This show's wholesome portrayal of bucolic America was a ratings hit for all of its eight seasons; a safe haven for viewers who may have been shaken by the decade's shifting cultural mores. Go to Full Review Paste Staff Paste Magazine 03/06/2019

Micah H 09/02/2024 Season 8 can be a bit wacky at times, but it’s all part of the charm. Andy’s character is given some more dynamics than in season 7 and Emmett is a nice addition. A great close to a great show. See more Read all reviews
