Only when I can.
It shows at 6:30 p.m. and then 11:30 p.m. here!
We have the Season 1 Box set...but it's not open.
It doesn't need to be...since we always see HI on the T.V.!
It's just weird seeing the kids really young at 6:30 and at 11:30, they're in high school.

yea. here, we see HI at 5:30pm. yup.

Now I am not saying critics are the be all and end all. But those ratings absolutely suck. I have to agree with the critics on all three. Man of the House was among the worst five movies I have ever seen.

I never check Rotten Tomatoes, and could care less what their ratings are, to be honest. I really like all the aforementioned movies, and of course I don't like any of them less because the have low ratings, you know what I mean?

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't give ratings. They compile all the national reviews for a title and give it a percent rating in terms of positive reviews. Percent ratings above 60 percent are considered fresh and those below are considered rotten. It's an important tool for those of us who want to see movies that matter. I have never seen those movies in full, and I don't plan to. Trust me, I don't think I'll lose any sleep if I never get to watch Man of the House.

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't give movies a rating themselves. It's based on the percent of positive reviews from national papers/online journals.

Sure the guy was great in the early 90's, but his acting has gone down hill. I mean hardly anybody wants him, I mean with kid Actors when you are cute they want ya, but when you grow up they drop ya, in most cases. Sad but true

The <i>Man of the House</i> rating on Rotten Tomatoes is based on a whopping total of 4 reviews, one of which is actually readable and is a total of 5 sentences long. For everyone else, it's a matter of putting a <img src="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images ... /fresh.gif"> or <img src="http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images ... rotten.gif"> and I think a graphic of a tomato or an asterisk doesn't say a whole lot.

Yeah, I get how it works. I didn't mean that they assign ratings themselves, but rather that that's where you'd find the percentages of reviews. As far as it being an important tool, I stick with trailers, plot summaries, cast & crew, and the advice of people I know and/or trust when it comes to films, not the overall spectrum of reviewers out there who I think almost exclusively assess films on arbitrary and unfair criteria. That's just my bias, though. There's certainly no pressure on you to watch Man of the House if you don't want to. My point is simply that if I have it a high rating when I saw it w/o knowing what critics as a whole thought, it shouldn't and doesn't change once I know that they thought it was bad.

This is due to the fact that Rotten Tomatoes doesn't have access to all reviews or the reviews have long since been taking off the internet. Therefore, if it was positive, the put a tomato. If it was negative, they put a green splat.

Also, I agree that I'm not the type of person to change my opinion to find the majority of critics. Some very prominent critics have been known to get some movies misunderstood, but their opinions should not be taken less seriously. Again, it goes to preference. I need something with more than laugh value.
