'The Kids Are Alright' review: Mary McCormack's matriarch keeps Clearys and the ABC show together
'The Kids Are Alright', created by Tim Doyle about his own family growing up, will premiere with the 'Pilot' episode on October 16, on ABC.
Eight sons ranging from toddler to legally adult and two parents, all crammed into one overcrowded house in 1970's America. This is the premise of Tim Doyle’s upcoming ABC show 'The Kids Are Alright', which will premiere with the ‘Pilot’ episode on October 16, 2018.
The comedy almost writes itself, if you’re looking for the varied stereotypes of large dysfunctional yet tightly-knit families explored by every sitcom from ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ to ‘Modern Family.’ What sets ‘The Kids are Alright’ apart from anything we have ever seen before is the cornerstone of honesty that the show is built on.
