Original
air date: November 3, 2006
Directed by: John Landis
Written by: Brent Hanley
Starring:
George Wendt as Harold
Matt Keeslar as David
Meredith Monroe as Celia
Synopsis: Harold (George Wendt) is your
normal, average,
everyday neighborhood bachelor. He works from his home, he listens to
old gospel music, and he is the quiet neighbor that no one would expect
any problems from. David (Matt Keeslar) and Celia (Meredith Monroe) are
the cute young couple that has moved next door. After being introduced
because of a mishap, they decide to become friendly neighbors and
invite Harold to dinner. David and Celia soon find out that Harold is
not as normal and average as his first impression led them to believe.
Thoughts: I thoroughly enjoyed Family. It was a much needed follow up to the season’s rocky start. Landis is one of the best at Black Comedy and Family is a perfect example. George Wendt absolutely nails his role as Harold by adding a normalcy to a Norman Bates syndrome. Matt Keeslar and Meredith Monroe have a good on screen chemistry that brings David and Celia to life. Ever notice that the neighbors of a serial killer always describe him/her as “always quiet” or “never bothered anyone”? After watching Family you will understand why I prefer to be the “loud and obnoxious” neighbor. Questions or comments about Family? Contact us!
