Did anyone here watch this show? Its on NBC - first episode aired maybe 2 weeks ago.
I just watched the first episode because the premise intrigued me.
There was a lot going on in the first episode, and it was different than I assumed it would have been. I don't think I'm going to continue watching it.
For those who didn't watch it {here are the spoilers}:
Little boy (I'm thinking he was 7-ish?) - causing general chaos in the household (guest in a house for a 40th birthday party), throwing old vinyl records, disrespecting electronics, pulling up flowers/veggies from the garden - starts swinging a wooden baseball bat around (like - almost hitting the other kids he's playing with) after he is told his turn at baseball is over but he still wanted to play. . . Zachary Qunito goes down to get control of the situation because the kids father is just sitting there saying "I'll explain the game you to you later . . . stop doing that. . . blah blah blah" but not actually DOING anything about it - Quinto gets rough with the kid, grabs him, throws the bat, and yells at him. Little kids kicks Quinto in the leg, Quinto slaps the kid across the face. Things spiral from there. . . ect. Both the family w/the kid and Quinto's family are guests in 3rd families house.
I will say that - while I in no way condone slapping (especially other peoples children), that child had no boundaries or structure and for sure needs some serious disciplining in his life. However - that is the parent's role . . . . . not some other adults call. I personally don't see the show lasting very long . . . but I guess we'll see how it does.
Semi- post and run . . . . . be back later tonight to discuss.
