After viewing one episode; I won't be watching anymore. I had thought decades later the show might grow with life as it is today, have a bit of societal edge. The original was disappointing when I was younger and thought it akin to overdosing to syrup of ipecac in it's overtly cleansed, laugh tracked, sugary diatribe reminiscent of '50s sitcoms. At a minimum Leave It To Beaver or Father Knows Best can mindfully be placed into the societal time frame they were made. Actually in some situations they were a bit more edgy considering they were produced 50+ years ago. While I believe it's good to have programming for conservative Christian viewers.. doesn't this audience rely heavily on years of re-runs; or the Disney Channel and Nick; as well as Christian networks that run older Andy Griffith, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, etc., fare. Some of the tame new shows on these networks at least take place using current societal situations and at a minimum are new and different. This really has a flavor of the short run original cast remakes of Leave It To Beaver, Gilligans Island, etc. You have a chance to see the aged actors evoking the original with little change. It doesn't work. Think of several remakes like the Addams Family.. re-imagined with new actors and freshened to a current time. My review may not be fair considering I was not an original fan.. though I wanted to be a new fan of this "new" rendition.
