Has anyone watched this. I caught 2 episodes last night and was cracking up. I love Gene Simmon's son - what a dry sense of humor and very cute.

I watched 2 episodes last night too. I love this family. The son and daughter seem very grounded, and seem to really like their parents. I don't know when this series started, but I'll will watch it next week for sure.

I think that they have a couple of pretty cool, together kids. I liked seeing Gene's family side and not just that old playboy side.

Last night was the premiere (sp) episodes...

We loved it! The son is hilarious! Gene seems to really support his kids and seems to have a very loving relationship with Shannon Tweed.

I didn't want to watch it but I was quite surprised. I thought it would be a train wreck like the Osbornes,which I could never stomach to watch. I love the son's sense of humor and the looks that he gives the camera. I had several LOL moments which is very rare for me. Will definitely watch again.

Very funny. I put it on DVR. They all seem to have a great sense of humor.

If you haven't seen it you might want to give it a look see.

OMG! I just watched the first episode and loved it!

While Gene creeps me out when he does his "rock star" thing, seeing how loving and happy he is with his family is enjoyable to watch.

Seeing how they have created such a loving family unit is really inspiring (considering Gene goes off and sleeps with as many women as he does).

Yeah, a lot of the show is contrived, but these people are so likable!

I have to admit, Shannon's sister was pretty cool. I hope she shows up in more episodes.

Really? Is that in the past or currently? I don't know much about him. Didn't appear that way on the series.

I think it's pretty much a known fact he still sleeps with other women. My guess is the quantity of women has decreased over the years.

I don't think they are going to specifically highlight his activities with other woman during a show that is supposed to be dedicated to his family life.

I just watched this on my DVR, LOVED IT!!

I have to say that as a high school teacher I think I have a pretty good read on kids, that girl, omg what an old soul she has. I find it hard to believe she is 13. She is lightyears beyond kids her own age. Loved her and the son. He was very typical 16 year old, almost made me happy to go back to work on Monday. (ALMOST) Daddy is definitely a proud papa.

Great show --- loved the kids, but I heard/read somewhere that he 'talks' a lot and gropes some etc, but it's just that... talk, and they have an understanding and a far more faithful relationship than is portrayed.

could be I'm 'mis'membering though

Watched again last night. I didn't expect to like them so much because I've never been a big Kiss or Gene Simmons fan but I like him with his family. The kids and Shannon are too funny.

I've only watched the first two episodes, cause we were out of town for a couple of days, but the next two are on the TiVo. I do love the kids. They are both adorable. I can't believe the daughter is only 13! She looks much older (look out, Gene!).

I can't believe I almost didn't give this show a chance because of my feelings about The Osbournes.

I LOVE this family. The kids are so unspoiled, like Kelly and Jack, and so funny and respectful to one another. They really crack me up.

When he's not on-stage, Gene Simmons almost seems like a "normal" dad. He's so sweet with his kids. They really do seem like a nice family.

I love the past home videos, cause that is the real stuff. That is way before reality tv and trying to set an image. Seems like a real family.

I love it too. Those kids are so less annoying than Jack and Kelly, but it's obvious they are trying to make the show like The Osbournes. Some of it is so purely just for TV...like Gene holding up the sign on Sunset Blvd. saying he was the worst driver in the world. Funny, but so contrived.

a little background i learned this week gene's mom was a concentration camp survivor. and he was originally born in isreal with the name hiam. this is not much but i would be willing to bet his upbringing is why his kids seem so well behaved compared to the osborne kids. i know i know a little political talk but i believe apples don't fall far from the tree.

Gene Simmons himself creeps me out, but he has such a nice, normal family! The episode where he and Shannon went to the Fat Farm, though . . . so contrived and obviously scripted! You just don't tell your partner, "I'll have sex with you when you lose 5 pounds." I know they're not legally married, but ever hear of a thing called unconditional love? They just seemed like they were acting (badly) in that episode.

The funniest line last night was when Nick said that Gene Simmons doing an ad for Planned Parenthood was like Barney selling Heiniken to kids.

I love when the kids or Shannon are being interviewed on the couch and the Demon is sitting with them - it cracks me up at the facial expressions.
