How is that episode the fan favorite? I don't get that at all. And I love the show, I just think it needs changes.

We didn’t care and it didn’t help the show." You mean in that one episode with flashbacks? The same episode that is most fans favorite? DSM was the best new show. I actually came into the show not wanting to like it because of the terrible title, but its opening was the best, most thorough opening in tv history. “The show kept trying to bring in flashbacks on Nick’s dad and why?

Why? Not a fan of the genre? Donald Sutherland once took your grandma's name in vain? Natalie Zea refuses to return your phone calls? Sam: You can’t drop a comment like that and not elaborate! Why?

Sure looks like it. Oh, and I won't ever watch this show. Is that the same staircase from the Beverly Hillbillies entranceway? Sure looks like it. Oh, and I won’t ever watch this show.

I agree with you on the whole "looking at this amazing world through the eyes of a commoner", but I felt like they were doing that with Nick and Lisa George. The Georges weren't wealthy, and Lisa was completely enamored by the Darlings' lifestyle in the beginning. It was interesting looking at this mondo rich family that was so completely screwed up. Plus the humor in the show was very good. But somewhere along the way, the show became "shocker happy". Blair Underwood's character was unbelievable and undeveloped and nobody cared about what he was going to do at the end of the day. The Darling Twins were a hoot, but so cartoonish, that I couldn't buy it. The show kept trying to bring in flashbacks on Nick's dad and why? We didn't care and it didn't help the show. So here it is...I agree with you on the need for a revamp, but don't cut the humor and expand the Georges' understanding on the Darling's lives. Oh, and definitely keep Donald Sutherland. His portrayal is almost Emmy worthy. You don't feel like you should trust him, but the look on his face when he questioned his wife on the paternity of the kids, broke my heart. He's pretty awesome.
