Steve Bailey is really Steve Williams from three generations of professional actors. For starter's, the last episode, we saw Steve's dad Richard and mom Laura playing out the roles of future in-laws. Richard was great with the hot tube gig in flipping his bathing trunks in the air while the family sat in the whirling spa. It got the audience laughing. Laura was great with the heart-to-heart mother to daughter pre-wedding interrogation about kids, hip size, breast feeding and lousy cooking. That was Steve's mom's big into to professional acting. Got the audience rolling on the floor.

The sixth episode had the best actors and actresses sitting still reactionless. It was a waste not seeing how Steve's family doing their comedy spiel as in all the earlier episodes. On the groom side, Steve's Dad Richard Kuhlman, mom Laura Henry and sister Katrina Hayes all just sat there not stepping up nor saying one word to break the silence and difficult moments of the Wedding episode.
Everything was focused on the bride side of the family. The cameras were trained on the Coys nearly the entire hour. The William's side of the family, not one comment or showed any personal shots even after all the smoothings. Nothing.....nada, zip, zilch..... what a major disappointment.
