Summary: It's different, that's for sure!
Comment: Main characters are:
Nate, the black sheep of the family who left years before to get out of working in the family business (a funeral home in L.A.).
David, the homosexual brother who is uptight and a workaholic funeral director.
Claire, their sister who is like Morticia from the Adamms Family.
Moma...at first you think she is the typical mom but then you find out how she somehow attracts the men even though she is portrayed as dowdy.
Dad...killed in first episode while driving his new hearse home but continues to hang around to torment the family in off moments for a number of episodes.
Brenda, the weird girlfriend of Nate who he met on plane coming home.
The show doesn't make you laugh out loud but it does make you chuckle a lot. The characters are all likeable. There's quite a bit of bad language and some sex scenes so it's not a good idea to get for a family movie. Each story has at least one death to bring in business at the funeral home. They are all unusual deaths...like a cat knocked electric hair curler into tub of a porn star, a man gets mixed in a dough mixer...totally bizarre but at least there is some humor to it. The family's trials and tribulations are in each episode and even Claire has a number of spots while dating or going to school. The situations she gets in are very funny. In one episode, business is so bad that they start letting senior square dancers rent out one room in order to bring in money and hopefully get their funeral business later too! They are all great characters and I started at the beginning watching these and now getting ready to go into the second season.

Summary: Very Unique
Comment: After watching Michael C. Hall in Dexter, I happen to find out that he played in this series as well. He is very different and dramatic in this show. He plays David Fischer who is a funeral director and becomes boss one day when his father gets killed in an auto accident. This is a TV series that once you start watching, you get hooked and you can never stop watching. I have had to rewatch some shows to go on to the next series because of lapses in time as far as my personal schedule..
This is not just focused on what happens in funeral homes but what mainly happens in the family's personal lives and the lives of those who are close to the family. It is a very interesting series and I highly recommend it.

Summary: A great introduction to a world of strange family dynamics

Customer Rating: 
Summary: CLOSED CAPTION GLITCH - NEED RESPONSE
Comment: We purchased the entire series package and find that on Season I, the closed captioning is ONLY in Spanish. The packaging lists that it is only in Spanish. All other seasons list English, French, Spanish. Is this true of ALL Season I disks? It's Sunday, and I can't get any resolution from the store where they were purchased. Would rate it FIVE Star rather than three if it didn't have this problem!
