The set-up is pretty simple, and utterly ridiculous. Tom (Michael Seater) and Jessie (Farber) grew up next to door to each other, fell in love and on a dare decided to get married. Neither set of parents approve. Tom's are uptight and had high hopes for his college career. Jessie's are hippies who don't believe in marriage as an institution. Their friends also aren't quite so enthused with the idea.

One might ask, "With a premise like that, how can you lose?" Well, it's simple. The writing, while admittedly well-paced, isn't even remotely funny. I didn't even chuckle during the first two episodes that aired last night, and Farber's charm can only carry a show so far. The rest of the show is just very contrived and overly familiar, and basically feels like a second-rate Disney Channel show. Not even Hannah Montana -- more like The Suite Life on Deck or something. It's watchable if you're a bored teen who's tired of Disney and Nick reruns, but it's pretty unbelievable that this show merits a primetime hour on network television. Even if that network is the CW.

Honestly, much as I adore Farber, I don't think I can subject myself to any more episodes. I don't care about the bickering that will inevitably happen as they adjust to living in his family's attic. There's only so many hours in the summer, and if I'm going to indulge in shows meant for young kids, I'll be watching Degrassi and Pretty Little Liars instead. Sorry, Stacey. Hope your next show is better.
