Family Tools - ABC

You know how it feels when you're watching a football game, the starting quarterback is stinking up the field and he's pulled out?  You have high hopes for the young backup QB, but then he fumbles on his first play and throws an interception on the second.

If you don't like that feeling, don't watch 'Family Tools.'  It's intended to be a mid-season replacement for one of ABC's earlier failures, but it's the worst of the worse.

Family is another sit-com based on a dysfunctional family.  The dad has a Mr. Jiffy Fix business, but when he has a heart problem his son (who just got kicked out of Seminary school) steps in to run the business.

Unfortunately the only funny moment in the entire half hour was when the son nails his foot to a wood deck with a nail gun.  At least the program is properly titled, the characters are all tools.

Family Tools has no chance!
