Total crap!! Every characters manages to get your absolute hate of each and everyone of them, story's are crap and predictable as hell, and its strangely depressing (like all other sitcoms). Cheesy and bland, like a cheese sandwhich, or a flattened cardboard box with childrens drawings over them. Boring, cheesy, cliched, cliched, cliched, cliched, cliched, like nothing before (like all other sitcoms). This show looks like its the type to curse each and everyone of the cast and crew.… Expand

I find this show to be pretty funny

I have only seen the first season and it was interesting. Something to watch while you are working on the pc.

Whoever likes a shallow sitcom will probably be satisfied with this show.

Worst Show EVAR!

Hilary is hot, and this show is not.

Television at it worst, predictable, cliched and entirely unfunny. Absolutley amazing that shows like this carry on when shows like Arrested Development fail to find an audience.

This show is what would happen to "funny" if it wasn't funny, and instead was an embarrasing contemptous cliche at anything of the like. Truly one of the most awful and offesive sitcoms ever.

OMG i want 2 hit all of u people this show is awesome it is deff. the best show ever!! the only people who dont like it are fags and gays!

Thank god this trash is finally off the air. Amen!

Another pathetic attempt by FOX to fill out their Sunday night lineup. Bad jokes, bad acting, just plain bad.

This show sucks. Im a supporter of crude humor, but when you mix young kids with sex...and plus a father that i would like to punch in the face....it makes a half hour of pure crap.

As much as I would like to give this show a proper review, all I can say is that it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!

horrible. Fox continues throwing crap at the wall waiting for something to stick. contrived, cliched, recycled, unfunny.........

You have Michael Rapaport in this train wreck. Did you expect originality? Of course not. His stand up is pretty much exactly like this show: worn out and not funny. I'm really surprised that this survived the hiatus due to the baseball. You would think this would have been in the canceled pile like pretty much half of Fox's creations. The kid wears a dress and the dad is a homophobe. He doesnt like his daughter dating thug mansion. Whew!! what creativity Rapaport has pulsing through him.… Expand

A little slow at times, but still funny. Stupid critics.

Confuses making the audience uncomfortable with being an edgy sitcom. Abounds with ridiculous sexist, racist homophobic "humor," which would be overlooked if the show was actually funny. The ultimate waste of a good time slot, which could be given to the far superior "Arrested Development." Had the worst laugh track I've ever heard. Why'd they have to put this between The Simpsons and Family Guy? Avoid this like the plague.… Expand

This show has characters that the average american can relate to. Its the same kind of show and uses the same humor as Family Guy, The Simpsons, and American Dad! The only thing different is that its not animated. Everyone says this show is bad but its one of two live action shows overall on FOX to be renewed for the 2006-2007 season.

The reason critics don't like it, is because they can't face the truth of American life. The War at Home is a wonderful show. This family seems very real; it's very much like a real, American family. It has my friends, my family and I laughing. Stupendous show, I would reccomend it to anyone who can take a joke.

Love this show!

how can i not watch it? it's one of the most important moments watching it with my parents. i love the characters. and most of the jokes. and the confessions. the best thing is that my parents don'y have to tell me 'see, now you know why you shouldn't do that' because i already learn from the show. and they know it.

Total crap. No wonder the rest of the world hates Americans. The fact that there are actually people who like this speaks volumes. Countdown to cancellation starts... now.

unbelievable....picked up for another season. such garbage is hated by critics and most of america. the only reason its still on is because its in such a clutch time slot. that and there are enough idiots to keep watching it.

total garbage made for morons.

Shows like this make me want to burn my TV.

It's as bad as your mind will allow it to be.

I cannot believe what some people will give a 10 on here. This show has bad acting, bad jokes, and a bad setup. Everything is cheap, and horrible forced. Simply trying to follow in "married with children" fad dribble this tries, but it fails at almost every opportunity. Assuming failure is something there looking for which is what seems so. Abominable show. Anyone who likes this show might want to question their level of intelligence.… Expand

The creators of this crap must have seen the success of guys like Mencia and decided to try being offensive, but funny. Instead, they made a show that is offensively unfunny. In fact, it is the most unfunny show I have ever watched. Really. I mean, my god, this show is just, from top to bottom, all around, a crap fest. What kind of brain dead white trash can find a single enjoyable moment in this shows existence? If this show were a person, I would nail it to the floor by its feet and make it watch itself, while I just go to town on it with rusty needles and dull saws.… Expand

Matt L. It's people as low a lifeform as you who could possibly find this funny. As your comment literally proves everyones opinion about why this show is so awful.

Trashy, NO INTELLIGENCE, corny, cocky, too new joisy. Even worse than 'yes dear'.

I simply cannot stand this show. All of the character are extremely unlikeable and it doesn't help the fact that every word that comes out of someone's is extremely offensive on so many parts. 3/4's of the show wouldn't get past any of the censors on some other channels. Sick.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. did anyone else find it egregious that the show, with it's title, premiered on 9/11?

Terrible. That Fox replaced Arrested Developement with this...is so...I just..I have given up on TV.

I feel seriously obligated to write about how awful this one is. All it took was opening sequence from the pilot to prove to me that there is no talent whatsoever involved in this. How shows like this get greenlighted is just beyond me.

Hliarous. I laughed during every episode. Best comedy of the year.

Excellent! I can't get enough of Kenny, he's so funny!!

Great show, better then some others that are out there on the airways. I find it quite a funny t.v. show actually. Hope they keep it on the air.

I don't understand all of the bad reviews that this show is getting on here. It may not be a revolutionary, ground-breaking show, but it is surely reliable for a few good laughs, and occasionally some fall-down, slapping-the-ground-crying ones as well. This past week's episode had me and my roommate gasping in disbelief.

wow, im watching this show right now simply because its between simpsons and family. Im amazed that they would put such a horrible show between two of the absolute best. It just sharpens the massive contrast. I first noticed the really lame jokes; then i noticed the insanely horrible acting of the dad. Then, i noticed the same of the wife. K the episode just ended, WHY DOES THE DAD FLAIL HIS ARMS AROUND SO LISTLESSLY ALL THE TIME!?!? its like they're dead weight or something. FFS, someone cancel this already.… Expand

I think this show is great. It is an honest show about normal families, dealing in a very funny, yet open way, about things that people don't like to talk about. Most shows don't actually address these issues, because they are somewhat controversial in nature, but some of these issues do cause discomfort in the day to day lives of normal families, because it is part of real life. The parents on this show address their own personal feelings and issues about what their teenagers are doing or how they are living their lives. They are not perfect parents, they have their own vices and prejudices, but they try to be open with themselves about those issues. This show has touched on racism, interracial dating, having a homosexual child, underage alcohol abuse, and teenage pregnancy, to name a few. I think this show is smart, funny, and most of all truly honest, which is hard to come by these days.… Expand

Yeah... It's pretty aweful. Gotta give some points for putting the teenage daughter Hilary on the show, shes F-ing HOT. That should be the only reason to watch it.

This show is horribly UNDERRATED. People who gave this show a low score are retarded. But honestly this show is good. Don't let the low score fool you. This show is developing really well. Seinfeld sucked in the beginning. So just think about that. In fact I felt the characters becoming more complex in the show just today (Dec 21)

First off this show is NOTHING like family guy, the simpsons, or american dad. Those shows are genuinely smart comedy that involves some amount of pseudo-reference pop culture jokes to the totally implausible over-the-top jokes. War at Home is nothing but a bunch of contrived "married with children" attempted cliches which aren't even somewhat smart, funny, or original. They are instead loads of recycled garbage sitcom cliches anyone could have thought to include in a random sitcom. Nothing is new, interesting, or thoughtful. That is why War at Home gets a 0. It doesn't just get a 0 rating, it has truly earned it.… Expand

I just saw this yesterday, and my goodness what a stinkathon. I can't believe how little they tried to even make something new. Although I will give them a 1 because I agree: Hilary is hot.

This show has nothing to do with the average american in my opinion. What kind of people act like this on a daily basis? This reminds me of alot of recent bad films I've seen turned into a full time sitcom. I guess most people who will watch this will be perverts who want Hilary. XP

Wow. Tv is dying. Its painful to watch it. People give tens real easily. Its hard to believe that this is what replaced arrested development, one of the smartest, funniest shows ever. The humor is dry and unwitty at best. The acting is very low quality, the show is not a representation of pressing issues or a typical american family. The show is a representation of bad tv. The issues are not important, its a comedy for goodness sake, it never delivers a good laugh. The acting of the parents is worse then that of the kids. I gave it a 1 for the reason that i felt sorry for it. I have to say if you want to watch a comedy that is smart, funny, and fun to watch, this isn't what your looking for.… Expand

Unbelievably hysterical. Im soooooo Happy its returning for another season! Congrats WAR AT HOME! You earned it. I hope this show lasts for 8 seasons! Way to go FOX !!!!

Worst show on tv by far!

This show is genetically forced crap thrown at your face a million miles a second.

This show puts the bomb in abominable.

The fact some people find this show funny, and worthwhile says something about humans in general.

This show takes jokes that aren't funny and rams them down your throat. All the edgy situations are selflessly engineered, and so poorly stereotypical so that it's nothing but another generic timeslot hog.

OMG I want 2 hit all of u people this show is terrible, deff. the worst show ever!! the only people who like it are racists, and assholes!

Characters are not lovable and the jokes are frequently in poor taste, and yet, it kind of works. Would have maybe gotten away with being "ironic" or at least scored novelty value for putting some deeply flawed characters on screen, but for the obligatory sentimentality that seeps into most American TV.

Truly wretched. Sleazy and stupid, all at the same time.

I've never, ever been offended by a TV show before (heck, my current favorite is Family Guy), but The War at Home's Dave is like a modern day Archie Bunker without the irony. His family are all vapid cardboard cutouts except Larry, the only one who manages to be heart-warming...and he gets mocked as a nerd and Dave thinks he's gay with a "fat cow" girlfriend, just because he's actually, you know, a normal, non-offensive character with some common sense and even, dare I say it, a little intelligence. The show poorly disguises the writers' own prejudices, and goes straight for the two targets that it's still PC to mock - gays and fat people. This is a horrible show and incredibly offensive. I wouldn't think of advocating censorship, but I truly do hope it fails to get renewed for a second season. And that someone loses the film reels, preferably in a vat of acid somewhere. I really do wish that I'd never watched it, myself.… Expand

I was going to give it a 1 until I realized, hey, zero's an option! I'd love to meet the writers. I'm guessing most of 'em are really into Reba.

I turned the tv on one sunday earlier before family guy and caught this show. I am glad I did. I think it is hilarious. and has be laughing out loud...it's strange I feel that the viewers either like it a lot or rreally dislike it.. count me as one of the former. What people may be having a problem with is that a lot of the stuff they do is true. For instance, many people in this country would be unhappy to see their daughter dating interracially. Same thing goes for finding out that you have a gay son. I think this show is just mocking and playing with the stereotypes which is funny. If you can't take a joke than this show isn't for you.… Expand

Ugh. Unfunny and painful to watch.

Finally this trash gets cancelled. All the hatemongers and generally weak-minded indivduals who liked this show will have to get their fix somewhere else.

This is the best show i have ever seen. I don't understand you guys :| . From now on i will never rely on metacritic for anything. This isn't right. Do not listen to other reviewers ..This show was my favorite..ever.! Funny as hell.
