Oliver Bean - I like the show.. It's like a 50s Malcom in the Middle

I hope the show stays around for a full season. The characters on Oliver Bean are funny as hell. (I dunno how much I like the 'gay' 10 year-old character, though.)

Oliver's facial expressions are hilarious. He's like a walking comic book. I think the dad is really funny too. It's nice to see a show about a family that is decently well off. I am starting to get tired of the shows where families consider $120 life savings (like Married with Children).

Damn.. I really hope I don't start getting used to all the characters on Bean and then Fox cancels it Fox-fashion.

The teacher and principal can be hilarious. I'd watch a whole episode about the principal with Napoleon complex.

Anyone else watch it?


BTW.. I even think The Pitts is halfway decent. I love watching the lazy daughter and her younger brother.. I think the daughter's hot. I wish they would tone down the fake laughter, though.

Yeah, that kid is a good actor. I think they prolly wanted to name the show "That 60s Show", but since "That 80s Show" bombed, there ya go.

I disagree. Both Malcolm and Oliver Beene are not funny with the exception of the father figures, same goes for the Pitts.

Fox needs a new vice president of programming that will bring back Andy Richter Controls the Universe and renew Futurama/Family Guy.

I agree with you there... Andy Richter was SERIOUSLY underestimated.. Fox needs to get a clue.. People don't instantly fall in love with a show.. They gotta watch it for a while and get used to it. Andy Richter was seriously funny.. but I never even knew what time it was on because it was on so erradically.

BTW.. Family Guy.. DUH (awesome) same with Futurama

BUT, I hope that Oliver Bean stays around.. I mean I like that show and the characters could so develop.
