My Family
7.57.0
Ben Harper is een redelijk succesvolle familieman en tandarts. Hij ondergaat ook een midlifecrisis en probeert om te gaan met de bizarre realiteit van het opvoeden van tienerkinderen. Zijn vrouw Susan lijkt best gelukkig, geniet van haar baan als Londense gids, maar thuis is haar vermogen om haar weg te vinden in een kookboek of voorraadkast minder succesvol.
Hun drie kinderen Nick, Janey en Michael zijn zo verschillend als krijt en kaas. Nick (19) is bezig aan zijn tussenjaar, maar komt niet veel verder dan de bank of het arbeidsbureau, Janey is zo scherp als een spijker en 16 op 25, terwijl Michael een heel slimme, computernerdachtige 12-jarige is die net meisjes aan het ontdekken is.

Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker star as the parents of Kris Marshall, Daniela Denby-Ashe, and Gabriel Thomson in "My Family," a very successful British television series that lasted 11 years.
Unfortunately only the first few seasons are available on disk thus far, but it is a very funny and lively series. Lindsay and Wanamaker are terrific pros as the head of the Harper household. The beleaguered Ben Harper is a dentist and iffy housewife Susan, who definitely can't cook, is a tour guide. Nick (Marshall) has a new job every episode. I think the funniest episode was when Susan's boss stayed overnight and the next morning, Nick tried to take some bacon and Susan told him it was for their house guest. Then Ben finds Susan's boss dead. When he announces it, Nick asks, "Can I have his bacon?" Michael (Thomson) grows up on the show, and when the disks stop, he is developing an interesting life as a chick magnet and a wheeler dealer. Janey is in college, and the situation is not without problems.
Kris Marshall is still in the show when the disks leave off, but I can imagine it was rough going without him. He added so much humor to the show. The writers must have had a blast with that outrageous character.
Highly recommended. Not every episode is spectacular, but it's still a wonderful and well-acted series.
