French version plz

I have realized that many people have commented on the nature of this show being racist and homophobic, but I don't feel that is what this show is about. The show is about parents who weren't ready for kids and are now not ready for teenagers. This show helps to bring humor to a very hard topic that is sometimes over looked: parenthood. Yes we have all had shows that had families in it, for example: Family Matters, Step by Step, Family Ties, Full House....but it always would have the same old recipe to it's episodes. "Steph" cuts from school and gets caught by her father. They have a heart to heart conversation and music is played and it's over with a two week grounding that after an "aww, Dad..." gets a smile and the show is over. Where is the comedy in such a situation? Where is the realism? With The War at Home, you get real situations from a real father type figure. Most parents that watch this show hear some of the lines the parents put out and they either laugh (cause they know they've said it!) or they nod their heads (cause they know they've thought it and never had the guts to say it!) The War at Home has situations that bring out great comedy as a father thinking his son is gay. Doesn't sound funny, most think it makes the father homophobic, but the comedy comes in the bumbling father trying to talk to his son to open up. What parent knows the right thing to say, especially in a situation as this? I greatly recommend this show to anyone that I know has a sense of humor, and especially to anyone who is a young parent or was young when they had kids. You relate to a show like this when you are either.

I'm one of those gluttons for punishment when it comes to sitcoms these days-I still will check them out every once in a while.My observation is that most of them aren't very funny even the ones on major networks that are getting high ratings ,I just don't get who is finding them gut busting funny. While a few have made me crack a smile ,none of them made me laugh out loud,I usually change the channel after a few minutes. Now on the FOX network they churn out new shows like changing your underwear,for some reason they think they can make a good sitcom,wrong dead wrong. They have beat this dead horse so much it is to the point of hiring just anyone they can find to write a crappy pilot with bad dialog and just churn them out.Let's take a brief look at the latest piece of junk that Fox has churned out called "The War At Home" I watched about 5 minutes of it and that was generous. In this particular episode,the daughter is mouthing off to her parents doing the I'm an adult now rant.The dad gets fed up tells her "OK fine,go ahead and do whatever you want,If you screw up it's your problem" to which she replies"Well I guess your mad but hey at least I didn't get AIDS"(cue the laugh track,no way that can be a live audience unless they have been paid to applaud such garbage)-I found the crack about not having AIDS to be in such bad taste. Well hey at least I don't have to watch any more of this crap. Take a hint FOX, stop wasting your time with sitcoms.OK well you have the Simpsons but it is now getting really old and tired as well.

Like many situation comedies, "The War at Home" is getting better with each episode. The characters are starting to become real and I believe them as a family. I agree with many that the first few episodes were not that funny; I thought the show would be canceled for sure. But with the absences of "Malcolm in the Middle" and "Arrested Development," "War" provides much needed live action comedy for FOX on Sunday nights. And when compared with the rest of the sitcoms airing right now "War" is an even better choice. Its appeal, at least for me, lies in its real situations. Teenagers have sex. Not every parent likes how their kids are turning out. Parents fight and call each other names. But rather than relying on being "mean" like many shows, everything is nice in the end which is the number one rule of a good sitcom. One detraction from the show is the narration during/in between scenes. The "Arrested Development/Family Guy" style of flashbacks work well enough but the narration can be too much. So anyone who needs something to watch on Sunday nights should check out "The War at Home," especially considering what is on the other major networks at that time.

The War At Home is a good show. I really liked the Pilot. Michael Rapaport is a great actor. They should let him in the writing room later this season or next season. so he can express how he REALLY feels. I like hearing what is on his mind. that is what makes the show original and funny. Hilary is hot!!!! Implants or not. LOL. Vicky is hot too. I remember her from The Jeff Foxworthy Show. She is a good actress. The show will do better every week. I know it. WATCH THIS SHOW PEOPLE!!! YOUR FAMILY IS PROBABLY CRAZIER THAN THEY ARE!!!!!! THIS is our new Roseanne. This is our new Married With Children. HELL some people think this is our new All In The Family. I couldn't agree more with them. this show will do great. VOTE FOR IT PEOPLE!!!!!

Wow. Nice job, Fox. Way to appreciate a really great show! I can't imagine that this was an easy program to pitch, much less develop into a series. On the surface, it's just another family sitcom. However, it's pulse and energy are so real, a la "All in the Family." It's easy to see this as one of those few-and-far-between "appreciated" television shows. "The War at Home" is a real window into the life of the modern American family. Plus, after his hilarious role as Phoebe's boyfriend on "Friends," a lot of us were longing to see Michael Rapaport return to television. Bravo... let's wish it a long life.

I really like this show. I can't possibly understand why people are saying it's 'racist' and 'offensive', but they think "family guy" and "American Dad" aren't. They both have the same type of humour except on family guy, it can be more exaggerated, since it is a cartoon. This show is very funny in my opinion. It's very different than other shows because they choose to take the show way differently than any sitcom has ever chosen to go. The laugh tracks I found to be very annoying, and would be something that Fox should really try to remove, especially when they are heard after or right before someone finishes saying something that is "funny". The moments in the show when they make it like a character commentary type thing is very funny. They put their true feelings which makes the whole show interesting, funny and different. I would rate this show about an 8/10

This show is not funny. Period. It's insulting how closely this resembles Bernie Mack and Grounded For Life all rolled into one glorious piece of poo. Why is it in the Simpsons/Family Guy/American Dad lineup to begin with?! Arrested Development fit that lineup so much better than this thing. It should be at the end of the lineup so I can just turn off the TV and walk away instead of having to channel surf till Family Guy comes on. The writing is horrible, the acting is over done, there's absolutely nothing new with this, and the laugh track is, well, laughable. The only thing missing is a family dog, a next door neighbor, and a real studio audience.

I watched the first episode of "The War at Home" because I thought it was worth replacing "Arrested Development", boy, was I disappointed. It should be clear to everyone that this show was blatantly ripped-off of "Grounded for Life", "Titus", and "Married...with Children" since they are all similar in plot and overall mood. The so called "punch lines" are all repetitious and formulaic, even more, those "punch lines" aren't even funny at all, to me, they're more along the lines as being crass and crude. The main character Dave Gold acts like a white trash thug, who thinks he's being funny and cool, which he's not. (Even Hillary (Dave's daughter) said so in the episode "Gaza Strip"). In the episode "Dream Crusher", Hillary wanted to be a singer {but was actually pretty bad}, Dave and Vicky then gladly decided to crush her dreams by telling her she sucked. After that, she then wanted to be a child psychologist and planned on going to Harvard, after telling Dave and Vicky so and left the room, the two of them began mindlessly mocking her. Also, in the first episode Dave said of Hillary's {black} boyfriend "Does she actually think we're gonna let her go out with this guy? I'd rather drink my own urine", that line has to the dumbest line in the history of television. And Dave is constantly making fun of Larry (his son) when he breaks the fourth wall because he thinks he's gay and is a geek. Also, let's not forget that he also made fun of Larry's (fat) girlfriend. Dave is the father he's supposed to stand up for his son no matter what. "The War at Home" is without a doubt the worst TV show for family. That clearly explains why the show should be canceled since it spreads a racism and homophobic agenda. It's like the show wants to be funny for always putting in that stupid laugh track every time someone says something, but the lines are all somewhat forced, idiotic and pathetically juvenile. Another reason why the show's horrible is the acting, Mike Rappaport and Kyle Sullivan are terrible, terrible actors. Rappaport has to always move his hands around when he's in front of the camera, he not only does this on this show but he also did that during his time with "Boston Public". Sullivan talks and acts like some kind of robot every time he acts (he also did this in "Malcolm in the Middle"}. So to wrap this whole thing up, you all got your reasons of what's wrong with this show 1.It's unoriginal 2.The acting sucks 3.It's not even funny 4.All the jokes are the same 5.Has lousy script 6.The characters are pitiful and unlikable 7.The dad's a rip-off of Archie Bunker FOX needs to take this trash off the air, because anything's better than this.

The actors & actresses on this series are OK, but the scripts have been absolutely horrible. This family is so dysfunctional that they are not even funny. In fact, the scripts illustrate very often how not to be a parent. The scripts are so bad, they make Homer Simpson look like a better father than this one. Anyone who is becoming a parent, if you want to see what not to do with your kids, this show is the perfect guide. I think the garbage this show feeds us, is beyond words. Michael Rapaport has seen much better material in his career (including his role in HITCH). They need a strong lead in & better, much better scripts than what I have seen to this point. If you think this is generational, my teenager even turned off one show of this because they thought it was horrible.
