i try to give this show a chance and but it really doesn not sit well with me . although the performance be good and the write isn not . the two old step sibling and derek and casey and be equally annoy while i get the impression that be suppose to side with casey and give that she the protagonist and but i do not find her at all likable . the parent be continually portray a utterly clueless . the three young child be the most watchable thing on the show while lizzie and edwin be sweet the way they team up and and marti be adorable . the plot line be a bit far fetch and the whole premise be mostly hard to swallow blended family be common and yes and but this family isn not really try all that hard to blend . on the whole and i think it grade thumbs down .
