From: tv reviews Category: TV Date: 26 October 2006 Time: 04:42 PM Review: This is pretty good. Ok very derivative of Curb your Enthusiasm. But I find this funnier and the plots a little bit subtler. Also the ur-sitcom Seinfeld is referenced, see the Ugly Baby episode. Show like this exploit the funniness of hypocricy, semi-secret nastiness, the grumpy pernickitiness of men (well-off ones with servants) and the general humour of life's banal tininess and the small ironies etc. Jack Dee is good. His daughter character seems too old and not related.
