If you have or know of a dysfunctional family, you will sit through 5 seasons saying, "Oh yeah. Been there done that." Still, this is a series with an excellent cast and probably worth spending some time with. They seem to have been ill prepared for having been cancelled at season 5, but when you start repeating story arcs, it's time to quit.
