I could have honestly gave this a 4 and been perfectly fine with this. This show is for all purposes, what is wrong with the American public image of what a perfect family is suppose to look like. And for all purposes its really more of a comical TV show. Most people good or bad reviews (and trust me i can read fast and love to read reviews but some of those were like watching paint dry in a thunderstorm) of the show do say its funny. No denying smarty, witty comebacks are what makes this show stay on TV. And eventually people will get tired of it and move on. Just like after the honeymoon your girlfriend wants more than just your "personality".
But for right now.... its on. Now the first season we saw the son. He his problem with drugs and was battling that. Then the getting along with the son in law. I really liked that one. Then also Kyle (his son through another marriage) baby Chloe. So this show started off well.
Yes this show is about a group of right white family members with a controlling dad who has smart ass remarks beautiful children (you can deny if you want but thats fine) and simply drives nice cars and has family issues. Thats this show. I think they were looking for more of something like their life. And frankly most people are pretty boring in real life. And honestly they don't have great comebacks. Probably most of their co workers at work don't want to be around them so I doubt a TV show would want to produce them.
You guys are just going to have to get over it. Its a white rich family who doesn't live a normal life. I said it, there it. But this show is hilarious. And they have their moments. And whether they make millions or just thousands of dollars, most of the families have the same problems. Who kids don't try to be sneaky and lie them or try to cover up lies? All parents know this all too well. From the time your child can talk they try to find a way to stay out of trouble or prolong it. In this case the parent isn't as witty with comebacks like when chase tried to take a girl to his range rover during a party and Todd goes "you are off the chain". The follows it up with "son i did that and have done that and have the t shirt to prove it, you are just watch the reruns".
This show has a lot of comedy in it. And it has a lot of reality situations in it. Will I be getting my step daughter a new mercedes when she turns 16? Hmm no. Model lessons? Probably not. But plenty of people daughters have had breast implants. How many parents make a cake? There is a lot of sense of humor in this show unmatched.
I took it down 4 points cause people sometimes see this and think life is perfect or that this is a bunch of rich people BS. And I really don't try to take those things away from a show. Its just entertainment people. Quit looking for a modern family to tell you how to live life. It seeks out its mission. Pure entertainment. Is Todd a nice guy in real life? Probably not, he got divorced from his wife cause she said he was too controlling. Is he controlling? Heck who knows, there are court documents proving he was divorced though and the show also doesn't explain Leslie and Kyle are from a separate marriage. At least I didn't get that. I had to read that online.
My girlfriend who doesn't like these type of shows found herself laughing a lot. Cause its funny. And its probably the southern sarcastic comments you only get in the south. Cause they shoot straight to the point and have sayings for days. A lot of people are right, its about a rich spoiled family, and Todd is a controlling individual but they are wrong because the results of the show, show a family and they have great points. Maybe if more fathers seen this and wanted to bond with their children more the world will be a better place. Not saying follow in Tod's footsteps but you can definitely learn something from this show. Cause those kids are about as normal as they come.
