| Do Not Adjust Your Set: | You wouldn't know from the bland earnestness of this program, but this is apparently a remake of a British series. For what it's worth, the Brit version features two fewer annoying children. |
| Why It Will Be First To Go: | It's never a good sign when, halfway through the pilot, you're rooting for the wounded lioness to take out the mouthier members of the clan. |
| Why It Won't: | Family-friendly teen dramas can run on The CW for years and years before anyone bothers to take notice and atone for their horrible programming decisions. |
