Will ABC Funny catch on like TGIT?

Yong Fang · 09-25-2015, 06:17 AM

Modern Family (known by me as the 1% Family) has gotten so pretentious. Should be called "The Pretentious Show". Whiny, bad, again...PRETENTIOUS. Come on.....you guys are millionaires and children of millionaires living in Southern California!

I gave up on The Goldbergs. That show sucks now. Or as Murray (the only good character would say) "The writers are MORONS!" The youngest son who is the center of the show went through puberty, and is no longer cute. The first episode of the new season was awful. Actually good actors and characters but....say it again Murray "THE WRITERS ARE MORONS!"

The Middle is getting tired. Patricia Heaton still looks good. Sort of my problem here is that the kids dont really seem to mature much. This should be the season the kids grow up. I will say there have been episodes from last season i turned off because it just bored me.

Gave up on Blackish early its first year although I like the lead actor.

what was their tag line?

"it's not funny. its abc funny"

I'm not so sure that's a good thing...

I only watch The Middle. It's cute but I'm not overwhelmed with the love for it.

It's not just the Wednesday block, I think all their comedies are being advertised with that slogan. I know the Tuesday ones were anyway.

It's not the advertising campaign of the year. It's not very clever at all.

So when they have a night where the shows are lousy, do they call it "ABC Lousy?"
