"Small Town Slapstick"
What You Need To Know:
The story behind HITTING THE BREAKS is interesting, and the setup for each episode has great potential. While the jokes don’t always land, some characters are reminiscent of classic TV show likes THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. The Wilcox family are like “fish out of water” as they adapt to small town life, which viewers will find amusing. The “moral of the story” moments, utilizing Randy’s father’s journal at the end of each episode add heart, and moral lessons. HITTING THE BREAKS is suitable for the entire family, aside from some bathroom humor. While the jokes aren’t brilliantly written, but the characters are quirky and likable, and it’s refreshing to have a light-hearted sitcom that’s appropriate for families.
