A great show!
11 November 2000 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

This show is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. It's fun watching the kids grow up and change. Unlike many sitcoms, each of them has his or her own personality and that makes for some very funny and truthful episodes. I can relate to all of the characters at different points, and it's a very pleasant way to spend my afternoon.

Note Leonardo DiCaprio in around the last season. Odd that he's on there, but quite good. :)
