One of the happiest days of my life was when this show was canceled. It ruined the Sunday lineup for 2 years. I'm not a prude and I loved married with children but watching a guy brag about his wife's "great rack" and his wife's lesbian relationship when she is supposedly Catholic was icky. Rapoport made me itch and here he is, ruining My Name is Earl. Rapoport, you're a terrible actor - go to law school or something.
Michael Rapaport funny? Please. His constant facial expression is like he has bad digestion.
I guess my worst fear was confirmed and that's the the show was apparently cancelled according to some of yall.
What a great show, this was one sitcom that really did have me laughing out loud reliably.

This show was ground breaking in many ways, it was a jewish family and while they didn't have a gay kid of their own, they did the next best thing, which was the neighbor's kid. It dealt with so many real life, modern day family subjects like dating, sex, cheating in school, driving. This show was one of a kind. RIP war at home.
It jumped when they didn't have the courage to continuef having the white teenage daughter dating a black guy.

The gay teenage son thing was apparently not a problem, but a white girl dating a black kid was apparently too problematic, so they dropped it FAST.
Is it just me or were the parents on this show the worst parents ever. they abandon their children, they out their son, they make fun of their children, and all together neglect them. Day One
I think this show was always better than it was given credit for.
It is not surprising to me, though, that it was cancelled a year or 2 early. It simply was not P.C. enough for many tight asses out there.
The way this show exposed the drama of being a gay teen while still making it funny without ever being angst-ridden or unrealistic was amazing. There's a great scene when Kenny is living with the Gold family and the mom wants to redecorate the basement (where he stays) for him and he doesn't want her to because - he eventually tells her - "my parents are going to take me back... aren't they?..." WOW The young man who played Kenny delivered this moment in a way that broke your heart - sad, sweet, sincere, perfect. That a network show - A SIT-COM ON FOX - presented a realistic gay teen character in such a honest and raw moment was just groundbreaking. For that moment alone - and there are many others - like Kenny's first gay date - this show was revolutionary. I miss witnessing Kenny and Larry's friendship a lot. There ares not enough gay teen role models on TV (name 3) and this show presented the first one who could make us love him and make us laugh all in the same moment
All I can say is thanks the heavens above that this show is no longer on the air. It was, to me, just a 21st century version of Married With Children that was nothing like that classic show.
Truly a detestible show. Fox and everyone involved in the production of this monstrosity should be ashamed of themselves. It took the worst humor of a show like Married with Children and had none of its satire or charm.
This show is for anybody who got someone pregnant and then married them to do the right thing. Very realistic and hilarious at times if you can relate. It was funny when the nerd didn't know his friend was gay.
The mother and that damn daughter are waaaayyy hot!
It would be nice to see what the daughter looks like in a few years.
From Day One, this show was a failure in that it simply WASN'T FUNNY as a whole, and that the Hot Wife was never allowed to look as hot as the advance publicity would make her out to be. Namely, letting her wear those short skirts and sexy black boots from the publicity pictures on the ACTUAL SHOW itself. Instead, they got a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" scene before I finally bailed out midway through the first season, but not before wasting hours of my life on this CRAP. I didn't tune in for the second (and last) season, and I'm not sorry about that. Hell, the skirt and boots made the DVD cover, and I still don't believe they'll ever be shown at great length in the actual show, hence my NOT buying the damn thing.
this is a ok show but it is the same thing over and over again nerdy kid father has nothing in common with little brother who ends up doing somthing sexual though the show and daughter who wants her own life by the end of every show she never gets it
booooooooooooooooooooooooooring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The War at Home jumped the shark from day one. It's just a cross between Married with Children, and All in the Family. Please Fox, say it isn't so. Please don't renew this crap for another season.
First of all, it's Michael Rapaport, with one P. not Rappaport, losers. And He stutters because he's from new york and he talks fast. he doesn't talk with a stutter for real. I think this show is hilarious, Michael Rapaport is one of the funniest "dads" on tv, his accent is hot, plus the mom has a nice rackage- this show hasnt jumped the shark yet, hopefully it will come back for a third season. i want to see rapaports hot ass for a few more months.
