WHO'S IN IT? Michael Rispoli, Francis Capra, Mike Damus.

SYNOPSIS: Sonny DeMarco is widower managing a small Manhattan limousine company, but when it comes to raising his two sons, Michael and Francis, he's not always in the driver's seat.

VERDICT: ★☆☆☆☆

What can you expect from a show that was pulled off the air after only two episodes? Not a lot, sadly. The Spokesman-Review said the show looked like "an escapee from the early days of FOX or one of those quickly canceled WB comedies" and that CBS had "hit the bottom of the programming barrel" I kind of have to agree. 

One scene was somewhat touching in how when we're remembering those who have departed, we can often think of everything about them with rose-tinted glasses. The boys, lamenting their dad's unedible stew, hark back to the time of their mom's cooking, which may not be as great as one of them recalls. His brother quips back: "Just because she died doesn't suddenly make her a great cook! Remember the time she made the chicken, she left the saran wrap on? You ate half of it before you realised!"

CANCELLED TOO SOON? No, very formulaic, nothing special.
