I’ve just watched a few of the shows. I don’t generally find ANYTHING funny these days, so the odd cute joke is a pleasant surprise.
Yes, the behaviour of two of the daughters is, well, not something a true conservative, praying father would be joking about, but it’s just a tv show.
Actually, the only sitcom I’ve watched and actually laughed at is Big Bang Theory. I find it quite amusing and the characters are pretty cute. I do, however, not care for the sexual component of it and at times feel a little unsettled watching. I really wish they could leave all that out, as it isn’t a large part of the show.
It’s interesting play between the three daughters with the young one being a solid conservative. I have to laugh at the ditz Mandy — they sure wrote some amazing lines for her and I can’t believe they get away with it. Maybe because she isn’t blonde.
In the episode I watched last night, the eldest daughter bought Mom (Vanessa) a gift certificate to Toy World so she could buy a present for her grandson. She off handedly said “I’ve always wanted to sneak in there” before she realized it was for a REAL toy store for the kid. I have to admit, it made me laugh...and Nancy Travis is so good at deadpan.
I haven’t watched Big Bang Theory — heard a lot about it. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve been watching The Americans and that is one downright depressing show. I have to watch two short episodes of LMS as an antidote to one episode of The Americans!
