Review by Nelson Garcia

This season’s most popular new comedy keeps millions of fans coming back for more by serving up heaping portions of backbiting and insults with sides of randy sexual innuendo and scathing self-deprecation. Still Standing features a working-class Chicago family that’s more interested in hurling rotten fruit than sorting out its differences.

Woven into this already stained tapestry is a strident pattern of really bad parental advice (Bill counsels his son on how to avoid becoming a part of the "never-touched-a-booby tribe"), and off-color jokes about everything from sex and drugs to poop and porn. Everyone at the Miller house is proud of their degraded reputation. "If we stopped doing things because of public humiliation, we couldn’t go to the grocery store," Bill crows. "Isn’t it the American dream for kids to do better than their parents? Look at us," Judy calls out, "you’ve got no place to go but up!" The same could be said of family sitcoms.
