It was OK. I loved all the references to stuff that happened in the 1990's, the decade where I spent most of my teen years. The characters seem likeable enough. I don't appreciate the raunchy humor, but I guess that's just they way the world is going now.

The one thing that really bothers me (And I know it's just a TV show.) is why would any woman let some grown man hang around her 13 year-old boy so much like that? I just found it a little disturbing, especially all that sex talk.

It's watchable but I liked it better when it was called "Get a Life". I have a feeling this show won't be on for very long though. The main guy there really needs to get some adult friends. At first it seemed like he was just trying to be a father figure to the kid in order to win the mother's heart but after watching the second episode, it's gotten creepy. I mean it was bad enough that the guy went to the kids school and hung out by his locker but he also took the kid to a massage parlor (had him wait outside by the door) but still it was just too bizarre. And not only that, but he was asking the kid to choose which woman he should sleep with.

How many episodes are there

blackbeard · 03-06-2007, 05:18 AM

I think there are a total of 6 episodes over a 3 week period. I would not want my 14 year old hanging out with a 32 year old man, something is strange there. Only good thing I can say about this show is it beats most of the reality shows on tv now.

I know how that kid felt when the girl said that he wasn't in her league
