I remember really enjoying this when it came out. Probably would have been more successful on a streamer if it was released in 2019 instead of 2009. Network television was not the place for this kind of show.

Kirsten was going to end up in trouble whether the Sandy/Rebecca thing happened or not. I’m sure that didn’t help though.
He definitely neglects her while not physically cheating. Neither of them cheat but both have chances to. Sandy’s was a tough one because he never got closure with Rebecca. Doesn’t excuse his behavior but it’s realistic.

Julie came around at the end. She has one of the best evolutions throughout the series.

I had an idea for a podcast, I’m sure it’s been done already but I haven’t found it, where I’d go through shows like the ones you listed and add some others like Black Donnellys and Kings, and kind of do a recap/history. Similar to the Blank Check format. Spend a few episodes recapping the show, talk about production, etc.
But I don’t have the time or skill to make it work. Maybe some day.
