i grow up watch sitcom such a seinfeld and roseanne and simpson and etc . etc . in other word mainstream television . over the year many sitcom have come on the air and of those a very small percentage be genuinally smart and funny . the war at home be a prime example of the majority of modern american comedy . i give the show a negative because it be what it aim to be and a comedy and but it doesn not seem to go out of it way to be a good comedy . a good comedy should have you sweep off your foot with it big joke and you shouldn not be able to see them come and in twah i see just about every joke come . the character be probably the most simplistic and horrible stereotype i have see yet on screen and and the act isn not very good save for the father who portray a stereotypical beer drink sport love american idiot perfectly . poor acting and unbelievable character and and joke that do not catch you off guard detract from this show to a point of where it be unwatchable . if you do not have cable and would like to see a comedy worth watching and try boston legal . it be more worth your time .
