2.5/5
A formula is beginning to emerge that could become as tiresome as the formulas for less sophisticated comedies. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 03/22/2019
This trial sitcom premieres...with a few clever lines, but not enough to compensate for its stock premise concerning the relationship between two brothers. Go to Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times 03/20/2019

05/25/2020 Love this show. Very underrated sitcom. Great cast chemistry. Brings great laughter, also with some emotional drama that can hit close to home for some people. Til this day, the Joe dealing with his mom's abandonment (S2:E20 - Mother Wore Stripes) and regret's with his dad (S7:E2 - Burnin' Down the House Part 2) still chokes me up. Amazon has a decent price for the complete season (needs to be remastered, IMO) with all the missing episodes, so I'm going through them during the pandemic. Got my kid watching it, since he's a big Monk fan. Cheers, Ross See more Read all reviews
