    A mildly amusing way to spend a half an hour.

    The show... is juvenile, vulgar, and crude, and yet, I still think it contains more sparks of originality than TV's top-rated comedy, "Two and a Half Men."

    "Halfway House" is occasionally amusing but the characters are not well-formed.

Such a shame - it's easily one of the funniest shows on television.… Expand
