I checked and checked again, and do not see a thread for this show.

If you haven't watched it, you are missing one of the funniest reality shows ever.

It is on A & E, Sunday evenings (check your local listings) with repeats on Monday evenings.

The sarcasism, the love, the bumbling, the whole ball of wax, just cracks me up every week. I don't want to waste a lot of your time telling you why it is the only show on TV that makes me laugh every single week, just, please, check it out for yourselves.

Trust me, I have a pretty serious attitude, and there is rarely anything that makes me LOL. That is why I find this show so delightful. I actually laugh, out loud, and my pets think I've gone crazy.

Mods, HI If there is a thread about this show somewhere, just send this post there, and let me know where it is. Thanks

I think we had a thread about this show a year or two back, but it seems to have dropped off the list a long time ago. I used to watch this show, but it just seems so obviously scripted to me. He seems to have a couple of really nice, normal kids. Amazing! Kind of sad that he and Shannon have been together all these years and he won't marry her. They seem to love each other as much as any married couple I've ever seen though.

I absolutely LOVE this show. I love that gene is
really a mommas boy and the episode where he
snuck out of his mom's house is hilarious.
I just wish he'd marry Shannon. Can't figure our why he
won't!

I did happen to catch the one where they took the lie detector tests and he did say that he's been faithful to her for like 20 years. That's something. (More than a lot of married women can say!) I do think his relationship with his mom and his daughter are especially sweet. Boy does he have a soft spot for Sophie! (As most daddies do for their girls!)

I need to set this up on my dvr. Whenever I do catch an ep I love it. Gene's son is so handsome. I love the humor the family has. It is nice to see a really loving family that doesnt seem disfunctional at all.

I watched last week, it was the episode where Nick got his own apartment and then got evicted after being told to be quiet.
He was told before he moved in it was a quiet building, he knew that. After each warning he just ramped up the noise level, eclipsing with a live death metal band!!!!! I know this is a tv program, but I am an older person and don't leave home much, so imagine being trapped in your own with virtually no escape from this noise? He really didn't seem to care to that he was causing distress to these neighbours.

Like I said, Erniesgirl, totally scripted. They probably paid everybody to be able to film in that place. He seems like too nice a kid to do that, too. I'm sure the producers made him do it!

I do worry about Gene and Shannon ending up like nearly every other couple who's allowed cameras to document their lives. I guess the only other ones still together are Ozzy and Sharon.

ITA with everything already posted. This show is such a relief after some of the other families we have seen. And yes, the kids actually came out nice which is a testament to their parenting.

While it's a bit too scripted at times, it just shows what a business man Gene is. I use to wonder how the hell Cher had ever gotten involved with him and now I think "oh, okay - cool dude with a good heart!"

I love them. I think the kids are hilarious and I just love watching them together. I know it's all staged but I don't care. They are a fun family that obviously loves each other. I thought much differently of Gene until I watched him with his kids. He's a pushover!

It was amusing one night watching our local news here in Vancouver when the film crews were all at the airport to catch the arrival of a new player, when they caught the Simmons family on their way to their place up in Whislter.

I find this show entertaining and heartwarming - I love the dynamics between the family and all the home video clips of the kids growing up...love it all!

I totally had a different view of Gene Simmons before watching the show and never in a million years would have thought I'd like it this much.
