Am I the only one who thinks...

I used to enjoy watching but I stopped. I loved watching Jenny and Donny, they are so obviously in love and adorable, but watching Jennys interaction, or should I say OVER interaction with her son Evan is just too uncomfortable to watch. Evan is 13yrs old he is not a child and watching Jenny grope and practically makeout with him is way over the top. She talks to him and treats him like he's 5yrs old it's odd and NOT so adorable. If Evan and Mackey would stay WAY in the background I'd come back.

No you're not. I like them too.

Yes I agree. I at first thought this show may suck but wow, I saw the first 8 episodes and I realized it's really not bad at all. Surprisingly enough, I actually love the show. I grew up thinking Donnie was just too much a rebel with an overopinionated mouth while Jenny was an extremely overeccentric and wild woman but they make a great pair and I got to see sides to them that actually seem surprisingly real. I started to really love them more, I mean I've always liked Donnie as NKOTB but honestly they are a great pair in my opinion and I genuinely hope this show lasts at least 5 or more seasons.

nope, i agree. it's very cute. maybe i'm naive, but they seem very into each other. weirdly so for a celebrity couple, really. but even so, they don't seem insincere. and they must be brilliant actors if they're faking it. i've seen donnie wahlberg on blue bloods and his acting is, surprisingly, not this good. and i don't think jenny mccarthy has ever seemed bitchy or mean, in the press -- just uneducated, so i wouldnt be surprised if they were actually as nice as they seem.

Yes. They are repulsive, especially Jenny's views on autism.

"Why can't we all just get along?"

These (in)famous words from Rodney King reveal an innately naive idealism, for which Rodney was mocked mercilessly. For the longest time, I really thought that Donnie was putting on a show- that no one could be this positive. But, the more I watch, the more I believe that, even though it's a TV show, Donnie truly is the person you see on TV.

It doesn't take a degree in psychology to know that the Wahlbergs have emotional baggage. I'm aware that this chapter is long over, but well adjusted people don't attack random Asian people while screaming racial epithets. These kids have issues. The father's alcoholism is public knowledge. In a family of this size, growing up in this much poverty, it's not going to be much of a stretch to speculate that abuse occurred. Donnie's naivety and stunted emotional growth, his child-likeness seems to point towards this.

Just to be clear, I'm not judging Donnie in the slightest. In fact, I think that his life experience has made him incredibly compassionate and kind. His empathy is not an act. His child like idealism is endearing. But extreme idealism and hyper romanticism may not be the healthiest way to approach relationships.

I'm not sure where I stand on Jenny. Donnie is WYSIWYG. The kindness he expresses outwardly matches up with a good heart. Outwardly, Jenny is a perfect match, but, inwardly, I'm not entirely certain where Jenny stands. Perhaps it's just a matter of time. I grew to see Donnie's innate goodness, so perhaps Jenny will grow on me as well. I hope, for Donnie's sake, it isn't an act and she truly does have a good heart, because he deserves to be happy.

Regardless of where Donnie and Jenny end up, I will continue to be riveted to my screen, because even though I may not find Donnie and Jenny to be "adorable," I find Donnie and the rest of his family fascinating. The Wahlburgers/Donnie Loves Jenny block could very well be my favorite thing on TV right now.
