"Being sick doesn't make her more interesting." The line's not bad. It just feels used...and creepily warm, as if Ray Romano had been carrying it around in his pocket too long and decided to throw it away.
"Still Standing" has little to recommend it. It's one of those comedies where the only thing more obvious than the punch line is the over-amplified response of the studio audience.
"Still Standing" is a funny show. It's funny the way "King of Queens" is funny. It's "Becker" funny. Meaning, if you fit into a certain demographic and like your comedy a certain way -- bingo -- it's a smash hit for you.
Nothing really sets it apart from the crowd, but Still Standing is a lighthearted sitcom that older tweens and young teens will likely find entertaining -- though, in the era of reality TV, older teenage viewers will most likely be bored.
