I might be a man but I cry watching this show its just that close to real life if your looking for a real story and loveable characters to go along with it this is the show for you I have never not laughed or cried during any episode I have seen and I have developed a crush on Kate 'yea I said it I like the big girl lol' but everyone even the kids are charming and I believe even tweens can relate to the tween characters so its good for an older family too 'some sexual content… Read more
and swearing some times' but aside from that its fantastic I say watch this one
