The Jim Gaffigan Show (2015)
Torture to watch
Watched 2 episodes and could not bare to watch another. The show is about a man with 5 kids that are never really part of the show. Not able to tolerate the premise. Too many people in a small space all so happy and bright and smiling. I have seen his comedy - he is not like that. He is unhealthy and a bad example to his children. He is having kids like they cost nothing to care for or that he doesn't mind them going to public school. None of them are in school. This story isn't funny. The premise is not funny. The writing is not funny. I can't think of nice thing to say. Oh yeah, the kids are SUPER CLEAN and their house SUPER CLEAN. And the wife is SUPER HOT and he is super out of shape. They are all super happy. This fantasy is super dull. I can't think of way to revive the show unless they change everything.
The Mindy Project (2012)
Has Potential for Strong Female Lead - Too much emphasis on her being Normal Size.
I love shows that have a strong female lead and this one starts out letting you believe it but there are many writing flaws that make the character too obsessed with comparing herself to a matchstick instead of being comfortable as beautiful normal woman. Much potential for wonderful comedy if they could get off that focus it would mean a lot more. It seems like most writers are male and every story is about casual sex and excessive drinking. I suppose that is what we teach our female children to embrace. Maybe if the main female lead character was African American we wouldn't have every week's episode talking about how fat she is when she is clearly normal sized. Why not produce shows that are funny and more about her being competent or situational comedy. Why can't we embrace our intelligence -
oh that is right, we are only judged by how we look and not who we are. I hope it's not too late.
The Middle (2009)
Cliché Ranting Hysterical Women/Calm Husband/Lazy Selfish Kids - EVERY WEEK.
Every episode is formulaic and impossible to watch more than a few episodes, unless you like Patricia Heaton having a meltdown every, and I mean EVERY episode. I have turned the sound down and just watch her rant for over a minute also the daughter is such a loser and also rants so by turning her on mute too it cuts out at least 3 to 4 minutes of every show. Who needs to hear the yelling? Everyone yells at each other, it is particularly the women are shown to be incompetent and down right unlikable. How can you watch a show where you don't like any of the characters? Heaton is on a road to a breakdown as are all the children. It's like a family on the edge of becoming criminals. I identify with STRONG FEMALE LEAD but this shows weak women. It is a very demeaning show. NOT RECOMMENDED unless you like putting down women to promote male superiority.
