This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The first two seasons of this are a decent funny sitcom. It is basically about a long time married couple who have a newly married couple move into next to them. This is fine for the first two seasons. However in Season 3 the newly married couple disappear and are erased from history.It then just becomes about the established married couple. However a few episodes for Season 2 were inserted into Season 3 so the newly married couple just suddenly appear. Season 3 is also out of order so Kenny (who was my favourite character) is living with them with no explanation until later on in the season when he moves in. Season 4 just loses the plot completely. Kenny disappears. A rich man and his young wife move in (if he was rich why would he live in a working class suburb??) An ongoing joke about the married couples, daughter's boyfriend thinking he is living in a sitcom stops being funny after the first episode the joke appears. One episode involves cartoons of the characters (and jumping a shark). It felt like they knew it was the last season and all the ideas they had for another six seasons they were cramming in. This is without the fact the daughter changes actress four times (twice in Season 4). It is a shame as the acting is great. The first two seasons were good but it just all falls apart. I really wish I had left it alone after Season 2.

This sitcom originally centred around two couples. Jeff & Steff Woodcock, a newlywed couple (optimistic and naive) move in next door to Eddie & Joy Stark a couple married for some 20 odd years (jaded and supposedly worldly wise). Jeff also happens to be the vice principal where Eddie teaches history. The actors playing the four main leads are well cast, although Eddie Kaye Thomas's performance as Jeff starts off a bit forced & stilted. But he manages to find a more natural style after a few episodes, so it's worth sticking with. Based on this, I would have rated this show as a good 7 or 8 out of 10.However, that was before the Woodcocks were written out of the series after a season or two, and premise changes somewhat. You still have Joy trying to stop Eddie taking her for granted, and their performances remains strong. But you would expect that from the likes of Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher. It's the writing and production that really starts to nosedive. To help the leads the writers introduce several new characters, with the majority of them bombing. The only exceptions are when Eddie befriends a new teacher at school who hates people as much as Eddie does, and a new Vice Principal who is seeking revenge on Eddie because she was traumatised by him when she was his student. But these are supporting roles. The big problems occurs when they promote the recurring roles of Stark's daughter Allison & her hippie boyfriend Doug into more permanent ones. Unfortunately those characters and the actors who play don't make the transition to mainstream characters that well. The production team make two baffling decisions, they decide to constantly change the casting of Allison between one of four actors (never mind that one of them played a waitress in an earlier episode) and then they they make Doug become aware that he's in a sitcom, except no-one else in the comedy believes him. And for some reason the producers think it hilarious to insert random sounds throughout each episode. None of these changes are even funny, and I can only suspect that the writers were trying to get the show cancelled. Mission accomplished.

I've been watching 'Till Death since it's very first episode and I'm at season 4 now.At the beginning I truly enjoyed this program and thought, what a fresh new start for Brad Garret playing a main role here instead of a supporting role in Everybody Loves Raymond (The episode where Ray Romano came in as an extra was absolutely hilarious)His character as Eddy is lovable, funny coupled with his dry wit and the bundle of jokes made at him about his height was pretty hilarious. And as for Joely Fisher who played Joy, well I can't really see anyone else in her role, she is great and the chemistry between Eddy and Joy is fantastic. Like some of the reviewers have mentioned here, it's easy to see that this couple are really in love with each other after the many years being married and they're much much kinder to each other compared to Deborah and Ray (Which I found over the board annoying - with her yelling and him cringing.) The series took it's hit after the Woodcocks left the show, but some how was salvaged when Kenny (Smoove) joined the line-up. I found him absolutely funny, natural and rather creative in his role. He brought back a little spark in the show, or may have added on more hilarity to what was already there.However, the fact that they kept changing Allison Stark's character started making the show plunge even more. Played by various different actresses (Krysten Ritter, Lindsey Broad, Kate Micucci, Laura Clery), with Laura Clery by far being the worst actress on the show and ruined whatever image any of the viewers had for Allison Stark, (plus I don't get how she's the only one who has blond hair in the family), it was difficult to follow and get used to the constant change.And then I think the show got more and more desperate to stay within it's required ratings so it wouldn't be written off, they kept introducing more new characters to the show which clearly showed how close to pathetic it was getting. Adding on more characters didn't necessarily make it any better, but brought it to an annoying level to which some viewers might just want to shut the T.V off. I'm for one a little sad to see how bad it had gotten since it started. But sometimes, I guess there's no one to blame for the show to go stale, the actors quit their roles to try on bigger things, and in a desperation level, the creators tried very hard to maintain the shows ratings, but alas it wasn't enough. I supposed the kindest thing that can be said about the show is that, the creators tried very hard to keep their audience and fans satisfied through many different lengths, but it just wasn't enough in the end. An A+ for effort.

I've enjoyed this show since the beginning. Since the first episode, the jokes have been consistently funny. That along with Eddie and Joy have been the only things that are consistent. The revolving door of secondary characters has been unbelievable. The only positive to pull out of it, the new crop of characters are great! The school's principle is amazing. She is absolutely NUTS! In a good way! The future son in law has been fun as well. I've enjoyed the "we're living in a sitcom" gag. Never got tired of it and wouldn't mind seeing more of it. My only complaint has been the writing. For the most part, the jokes have been very good, this hasn't changed from the first season, but the story lines have become weak and fragmented. There must be a room full of joke writers with no story tellers. To be honest, I could care less about the story lines, but without them, they'll loose viewers, and that's where my fear comes in. I've enjoyed all the characters that have come and gone, but I would miss the current crop greatly if this show can't get it's act together and ends up canceled. Please guys, lets get some more consistent plots and quality story telling before the network gives up on you for the last time!!!
