like many situation comedy and the war at home be get well with each episode . the character be start to become real and i believe them a a family . i agree with many that the first few episode be not that funny while i think the show would be cancel for sure . but with the absence of malcolm in the middle and arrest development and war provide much need live action comedy for fox on sunday night . and when compare with the rest of the sitcom air right now war be an even good choice . it appeal and at least for me and lie in it real situation . teenager have sex . not every parent like how their kid be turn out . parent fight and call each other name . but rather than rely on be mean like many show and everything be nice in the end which be the number one rule of a good sitcom . one detraction from the show be the narration during or in between scene . the arrested development or family guy style of flashback work well enough but the narration can be too much . so anyone who need something to watch on sunday night should check out the war at home and especially consider what be on the other major network at that time .
