I tuned into the pilot out of curiosity - my name is Dunleavy, and the show's family is named Dunlevy, so I wanted to see if they did the family name (or a derivation of it) proud. As it turned out, I didn't even make it to the first commercial break. The eighties pop music playing constantly in the background of every scene really annoyed me, even though they were good songs. It seemed like they were doing it to prove the show took place in the eighties, but the music had no relation to the dialogue, and it was played even during scenes between the adults, who would never have listened to that music in those days. (My dad was *not* listening to Talking Heads in those days. Or these days, for that matter.) Even though there was some clever dialogue, and Chris Meloni was good, I just couldn't get past all the other stuff. It wasn't terrible or tasteless like "Dads," but its cancellation is no big loss. -Tim
