Rules of Engagement (2007–2013)
7/10
Good...Maybe Great.
9 October 2012
Recently I stopped watching 'How I Met Your Mother' because of pervasive crude and sexual humor. Unfortunately it resulted in losing the happy medium between too funny and too dramatic. After a long search for a similar show with less inappropriate content I discovered 'Rules Of Engagement.' I was disappointed to find that the characters don't appear to have much depth, nor do they feel very real. The writing is not as good as it is in HIMYM, and the actors are over the top, especially Patrick Warburton. David Spade is one of my all time favorite comedians and he plays a character much like Barney Stinson, unfortunately he is not as good for the part as Neil Patrick Harris. The show is too far consumed with the comedy to take a moment for a moral of the story. It's funny, fairly clean, and semi-well written. It's a good show with decent comedians, and a good plot. Worth the watch.
