Is it for me?
Family-sitcom fans who find laugh tracks tiring get a faster, meaner alternative here, shot like a small film with nobody cueing the audience. Lois finds her anniversary dress ruined in the toilet and grills the boys like a detective, while Hal sits alone at the restaurant and makes friends with the staff. Jane Kaczmarek plays Lois as a volcano, and Bryan Cranston's sweet obliviousness keeps Hal likable.
Before you start
Later seasons get louder and more cartoonish.
