Meet this rather large family in ‘The Kids are Alright’
I get to watch a lot of new shows these days. Some of them are pretty good, others are okay and some are just bad. It isn’t always easy to know if a show will be bad or good right away though. Once in a while, a new show can surprise you. When I heard of The Kids are Alright it sounded interesting. I was able to watch a screener of the pilot and this is what I thought of it.
You can read the premise for The Kids are Alright pilot here:
Lawrence, the prodigal eldest Cleary son, returns home from the seminary and breaks the news to his family that he’s dropping out for good, leaving Mike and Peggy upset and wondering why. Meanwhile, Timmy decides he wants to audition for a children’s theatre production but when Peggy finds out where it’s being held she forbids him from participating. Elsewhere, Eddie tries to keep his girlfriend a secret after Frank finds out and tries to blackmail him.
I enjoyed watching The Kids are Alright pilot. This is a pretty big family, but in this first episode we get to see a bit of each of these kids. They all have quirks, but that is what makes them so likable. Lawrence is the star of this episode, and things get heated fast when he makes a startling announcement. Meanwhile, Timmy wants nothing more than to follow his own dreams, which in this family doesn’t seem like an easy thing to do. This episode has some great moments, especially towards the end.
