Funny show. Good gayisms. Written by Christopher Guest (best in show, a mighty wing, spinal tap) Should be regular laughs for a while.

Haven’t seen it, but since I actually *can* relate to the neurotic, inter-racial family with two gay dads part, I’ll have to check it out tonight.

@Ian: I have a solution to that: if a new show looks interesting, but might not be around long enough to be worth bothering with I’ll record it and set it aside.

@Evan: my straight workmate was watching this during lunch on his computer when i walked into our shared office. it was the start of that whole section and i was laughing my ass off. by the time the Lion King entrance came i was curled up in my chair laughing so hard.

it’s certainly not for everyone, but most intelligent “single camera” shows alienate people who can’t grasp the constant crossing mixtures of the subtle and the obvious. I just hope it doesn’t go the was of “Arrested Development” and more towards the “It’s Always Sunny” success.

Sorry…mincing stereotypical characters are not my cup of tea, or men. I changed channels and was delighted to find hot, uber-hunky Wentworth Miller playing a guest role on Law and Order.

@RJ: TOTAL agreement in that I find the gay rep pandering to an extent and the show just doesn’t ‘work’ for me. I also noticed how the three main bitch villians are all blond women, blond wife, blond coach, and blond cheerleader. Guess the creator was tormented by a blond bitch when he was younger.

Modern Family meanwhile I like, but also won’t watch as ABC is notorious about cancelling half it’s shows midseason and I will NEVER forgive them for cancelling Pushing Daisies.

Gave Glee a chance but I just don’t like the show. I don’t find it so much “gay friendly” as “gay pandering”. The two gay characters are flaming stereotypes, how original.

Plus the writing is really uneven. Scenes jump around sporadically and their resolutions come at a breakneck pace. (ex: the football team rehearses their little dance number for about oh, a minute and a half, and then pull of their mid-game chorus line with perfection. The coach is all for it then he’s embarrassed by it, make up your mind!) I know it’s a fantasy show but come on.

Also why are almost ALL the female characters whiny, manipulative bitches? Is anyone really interested in wifey’s fake pregnancy storyline? Oh yeah who the hell is the kid in the wheelchair? Why is he even there? They give him nothing to do!!! The pilot showed so much potential but so far… meh.

OMG, I didnt expect the show to be as funny as it was. Great 30 minutes of laugh therapy. Like Daniel, I hope it at least survives a season and yeah, the Lion King moment was funny as hell.

@Evan
Loved the Lion King moment as well. Hopefully this show will survive for at least a season.

Interesting that you watched it after you already said it was FULL OF STEREOTYPES…flip flop much?

Glee is more gay-friendly? Last night their gay kid wore an outfit too glam for Liza Minnelli.

This show was excellent!

*SPOILERS ON*

The way they didn’t tell us that they are all related until the end was brilliant!

*SPOILERS OFF*

I pissed myself laughing watching Ed O’Neill’s character trying desperately to get out of his lawn chair at the soccer game. Love it! And two gay characters who look like average men and not models is great. “Look at the baby with the creampuffs.” Ha!

So, how long before it gets cancelled?
