Henry played by Jonathan Sadowski is a writer who gets laid off from the magazine he was working at and has to move in with his father, a retired navy medic portrayed by the always enigmatic William Shatner while he tries to rebuild his life and career in the process so with that hilarity ensues!
It is a thrill ride of laugh a minute jokes and I believe if done correctly it might just become as big as How I Met Your Mother, but then again with William Shatner in the lead who would be able to dispute that fact.
Intriguingly enough Jonathan Sadowski doesn't stay in Shatner's shadow, he brings his own element into the show which might even rival that of the great Shatner. Using such a unknown actor was a big gamble but I believe it has payed off - the barbs between the leads are brilliantly written and even better coming from the chemistry between these two.
The brother and his wife are a bit overdone, but comedic none the less and all shows should have more than two characters but with the two leads as they are - it couldn't be better. I was laughing at almost every joke and had to wipe the laughing tears from my eyes more than once.
Absolutely brilliant - a solid 9/10
