My Family What a Family 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A little off-beat but still consistently clever and witty with one-liners abounding. This dysfunctional family has a disillusioned father and a towering highlight in son, Nick, whose brilliance in manifesting the ridiculous, the bizarre, the unexpected and the unorthodox are supreme. Otherwise, it's conventional, domestic UK family comedy set in suburbia, so if you're looking to extend your collection of comedy beyond the mainstream (like 'To The Manor Born' and 'Yes, Minister') then obtain this series for hours of laughs while getting to know this family.

Yay! for My Family 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved this show on BBC America and was so excited when they released it on DVD. It is truely one of those shows that you can watch over and over again and still laugh so hard you cry! I can't wait until the other seasons are released in the US.

A Five-Star Sitcom? 5 out of 5 stars.

It's quite fashionalble to declare the sitcom is dead, and for a very good reason. Pick any period in time, starting with the first sitcoms in the 50s and moving right on through to today, look at the total sitcom landscape, and puke. And yet, once in a while, a real gem comes along. Dick Van Dyke, Cosby (in its prime), Seinfeld, Are You Being Served?, Fawlty Towers, My Family. It's simply brilliant. Never forced, always funny, mostly realistic, driven by strong writing and excellent acting. Oh yeah, and Nick's teeth. With only 21 episodes, I blasted through this in 3 nights. So now I'll just put it on my shelf next to a very small collection of DVDs that I'll watch again, and again, and again.

I was introduced to this Sitcom while visiting my daughter in Hawaii this summer. Even though it was several seasons into the series, I was able to relate to the story line and characters...made me laugh like I haven't in several months. I will be purchasing the entire series!

"A little gem" 5 out of 5 stars.

Nothing beats a good english series when it's well done; and this is certainly the case here. Exquisite script backed with very good actors and the end result is an excellent time in perspective.
The only bad thing about this is the presence of only 6 episodes, if only good things last a bit longer!!

Love It 5 out of 5 stars.

Fantastic British sitcom. It keeps me laughing the whole time for every episode. I reccomend this to anyone who loves to laugh.

One of the best sit-coms on TV. Why can't the USA come up with any thing like it?

British Comedy at its Best 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My Family is a fantastic show ironically created by American writer Fred Barron. The cast, led by Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker, is absolutely brilliant. The situations the family faces are a bit exaggerated, but really do mirror a conventional family in the US or the UK. I'm happily anticipating the release of seasons 3 and 4 in the US soon. (Seasons 1 through 7 have already been released in the UK.) I hope Amazon will continue to offer the remaining seasons as they become available in the US.

Family Season 1 and 2 4 out of 5 stars.

In my opinion this is one of the best comedy shows. The whole family in this is hilarious and a bit dysfunctional in wonderfully funny way.

Editorial Review:

Tart, snappy Britcom My Family proves that the most familiar scenario--in this case, a straightforward family sitcom--can be made fresh again through sharp writing and sparky performances. Robert Lindsay (from the Horatio Hornblower series) and Zoe Wanamaker (probably best known as Harry Potter's flying teacher) star as Ben and Susan Harper, the parents of three rambunctious children: 20 year old Nick (Kris Marshall, Love, Actually), a slacker who's not always as thick-witted as he seems; sly, sexy 16 year old Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe, who played Saffron's daughter at the end of Absolutely Fabulous); and bookish, sensitive Michael (Gabriel Thomson). Ben and Susan squabble with each other and their children (who fight vigorously among themselves), but the household isn't dismissed as dysfunctional; on the contrary, they're a normal, healthy family that isn't afraid to recognize that fighting is part of a normal, healthy family's daily life. The content of the show could be the stuff of any sitcom: Susan and Ben worry the sexual spark has left their marriage; Janey goes on a date with a boy who gets overly insistent; Michael gets bullied at school; and countless other plots about the troubles of marriage and raising children. But My Family has such a frank tone--and the actors are so utterly engaging (without ever pandering to the audience)--that the eight episodes of this first series are completely delightful. --Bret Fetzer

An Excellent Television Show 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I'm rather disappointed not to find this show available at Amazon. It's a wonderfully funny show about a dysfunctional British family. From the uptight father, to the idiot son, this show is full of laughs.

Fantastic Show!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I also find it odd that AMAZON does not distribute this fabulous program. It is the funniest thing on television (if you can get BBC America). I've given up on American televison; we just don't have good comedy writers anymore. Many of the episodes have me in tears they're so funny. Maybe AMAZON UK carries all of the episodes; I certainly hope so. Fantastic writing, directing and performances by all of the stars--even the guest stars.

Please, Please bring this to Amazon.. 5 out of 5 stars.
