I remember this show being on tv and constantly being repeated quite often on the ABC channel back in the day.
I did see a few episodes but I just didn't get why it was supposed to be funny.
You have a 40 something son living at home with his mum who is senile and has dementia. She is a cold and bitter-mannered person who makes his life a constant struggle (which is not funny at all for those people who are in the same situation ). You have his brother who is after her money or trying to scam money anyway possible (which happens in many families in this situation) and is absolutely no help for his brother looking after his mother. What's so funny about that?
I know this show very successful and it ran on and off for decade with a great cast but the content of this sitcom was dull and depressing. Give me D GENERATION or FULL FRONTAL anyday thanks.
