how has this show been so successful?


it's interesting that a show this bad and this mediocre can possibly be so successful. season 8 really??? i mean the chemistry between mike and his wife is horrible, cringe inducing, and pretty much non existent. nothing has ever stood out about this show except the daughters in the first 6 seasons. the exchange student i just noticed this season is so annoying with her broken english accent and horribly annoying puns that i have to fast forward past her scenes. and the worst thing about this show and the most annoying, in fact intolerably annoying thing is mike's wife. oh my gosh i don't think i've ever been more annoyed by her puns and her voice and anything she says. it's so fake. everytime she opens her mouth it sounds fake, manufactured, and even commercial acting like in it's fakeness. she's not even acting, she's just putting on a show as the friendly and fake sitcom wife, it's painfully annoying.

oh and the new mandy oh my gosh. it's insulting to even talk about her given how bad of a character she is and how mismatched she is with kyle. she has no chemistry with him. how in the world can they put a new actor in a role which was played by another actor on a show? this show did not become a different version of the original show, so how can they think we can cast another actor in a role on a show that is continuing a story? this doesn't make sense. she's maybe the most annoying character in tv show history. everytime she opens her mouth it's painfully annoying because it's either a stupid humor thing which is painfully unfunny or it's a they think humorous line made to show how stupid she is which is never funny and is always painfully unfunny bc it's so dumb and bad humored and childish and she is so obnoxious that i'm in pain from how annoying the new "mandy" is.

Conservatives watch it. Maybe they think that it's paying penance for their sins, which are many. :-)

But, Tim Allen is a conservative, the show is on Fox, and I guess that's enough for them.

Pretty much. Conservative comedians are rare these days and I used to watch him back in the day as a kid in Home Improvement among other shows. He was really a hit back then and even though he's died down to quietness for the most part, he still does some shows here or there. Let's not forget Galaxy Quest, loved that movie.

lucky that you low IQ libs have 500+ other shows and all the late talk shows as well, where they bash the president and share LGBT kisses 24/7

MY FATHER IS AN EX HIPPIE IN HIS 60S..HE SITS AROUND ALL DAY SMOKING WEED AND WATCHING TELEVISION....HE LOVES THIS SHOW.

reply

Always wondered what happens to old hippies. Same as other old people, except weed instead of beer. Does he complain about he millennials and SJWs?

It's been funny so far, but the writing in this latest season seems to have declined in quality. It's just not as funny or inventive as it used to be. At least not so far (5 episodes in).

reply

We live in the age of tame and boring humor. So people forgive this show a lot for being somewhat bolder than almost everything on TV.

However, while I share some of the attitudes of the main character I didn't find the series funny enough to watch for more than a season.

reply

It's a good show. And family sitcoms are rare these days. It has solid consistent writing. That said, i'm not a fan and no regular watcher. I don't really like the characters. But the premise of how they tackle current issues is interesting.

reply

This is probably the only show promoting conservative values, there is no competition.

He went from being conservative to a snowflaked white racist who thinks Trump's on his side.
