What can you say about a family dramedy based on a mediocre Steve Martin movie? That it had Joss Whedon as one of its writers (how's this for circling back to Buffy?) and was a lot funnier than the film, with a cast including everyone from Ed Begley Jr., in Martin's dad role, to a 15-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio as one of his kids, to David Arquette as (what else?) an eccentric housepainter, to Ken Ober (host of MTV's Remote Control that's right, the one who wasn't Colin Quinn, Adam Sandler, or Kari Wuhrer).
