    While its cynicism about suburbia is superficially novel, the show itself is quite old-fashioned if not old hat: lame dad, smart mom, cute child, knowing child, strange neighbor. Door here, door there, couch in the middle.

    Most painful are the scenes of Steve and Anne with their daughter, Courtney (G Hannelius). They're overacted, unfunny and, like much of the rest of the show, full of annoying cliches.
