American Housewife

I watched two episodes and I tried to give it a chance, but it just was not funny. It could have had the potential to be, but so many of the jokes fall flat and the main character comes off as kind of a jerk and not really likable. It's too bad that this isn't that good because I do like Katy Mixon and she is funny, but this show is not.

this show is so obsessed with weight and size, i thought even back in 2016 we were better than this. The whole first episode premise is trying to put down "skinny people", supposedly to make the mum feel less "fat". even goes to the point of the family scaring away "skinny people" from buying a nearby house owned by a "fat pam" The mum also throws away a "green health juice" the sports obsessed daughter bought so her daughter doesnt become one of those "skinny mothers", which is sending a bad message. The show was blatantly created with the male gaze in mind. a large shot of the mum and a lesbian kissing wildly. and a brazen multi second shot of a teenage daughter while her mum discuses her boobs, btw this actor was 15/16 at the time of filming But to give the show credit the mothers parenting of the middle child making him less obsessed with money and willing to help out the homeless. and i believe their is fair disability representation of the youngest daughter with germophobic OCD, while they could do better in writing the character, they are on their way.
