I just watched the first episode of Quintuplets. I didn't have high expectations from the start considering I only heard about this show a couple of days ago and only watched it tonight because I had nothing better to do and I actually kind of liked Andy Richter Controls the Universe.
The show is about Andy, his wife and their quints. Apparently the thought process behind this was that the more kids they have in the family the more stereotypical teens they can represent. There are 3 boys and 2 girls. Now of them we have the standard popular boy and girl. Then there's the dark haired outcast girl with glasses who hates everything yet secretly and desperately wants the popularity of her pretty blond sister. And then there's the other two boys one being a goofy gangly type and the other a short horndog. And of course the parents are just what you expect, they want the best for their kids but are desperate for some alone time.
Andy Richter has taken a step backward in my opinion. His first show was pretty funny; this show is not. It is trite summer fodder. At best I might have cracked a smile once or twice, but I most certainly didn't laugh, not even a chuckle.
