Finally in North America

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 8 January 2007 05:36 (A review of My Family - Seasons 1 and 2)

I was so excited to finally see the series "My Family" take a hop across the pond and released as a Region 1 DVD.

A quirky little sitcom about a dentist Ben Harper (Robert Lindsay) and his tour guide wife Susan (Zoë Wanamaker) driven absolutely crazy by their three children. Nick (Kris Marshall) the lay about who can never keep a job, fashion obsessed money hungry Janey (Daniela Denby-Ashe), and smart, socially awkward Michael (Gabriel Thomson).

Although appreciation for British slang is needed this show quite honestly has something for everyone, I’ve never met anyone who has watched an episode without a laugh. Whether it’s the kids’ antics, Susan’s culinary “expertise” or Ben’s sheer hatred of his job, this show is the perfect way to unwind and have a laugh.
