American Housewife

My daughter and I have loved watching this series together, but season 5 has been really hard to watch. The change of Anna-Kat (though not their decision) has been hard, but losing Angela and Dorris... I don't think we realized how much these characters ment to the show. I like Holly Robinson Peet, but I feel like the show lost some of its shine. Hopefully they can reign it back in.

People seem to have lost their sense of humor... everything doesn't have to have some kind of lesson... Learn to laugh again.... Love this show... Stop being so serious all the time.. Some times you have to lighten up and just laugh...

this show is great! It points out the humor and absurdity to suburban life. Some people get their drawers wadded up when you make references to Stepford wives or soccer moms. I've been the suburban soccer mom. I don't get my feelings hurt. It is incredibly funny to see caricatures of what I saw every day at scouts, church, pta, etc. Don't be so sensitive people. This is a hilarious look with exaggerations for humor. It's not meant to attack you or your American way of life. This show is fun. If you see yourself a little bit in there, laugh some more. No this woman isn't fat but she FEELS it based on images she sees and the women killing themselves with the diet and the leisure apparel day and night. And face it, society says size 6 is fat. So for her, she's reflecting what many women in the country are seeing, the reality of today, but with humor. The show points out that she and her husband have a healthy relationship and he helps her deal with body image by appreciating HER. and that happens every day in real life too.

I find this show quite entertaining! I do not think it is all negativity, unlike other reviewers. Katie expresses how ridiculous the upper class can be with elaborate spending and seemingly oblivious disregard for the working class. It is obviously over exaggerated in many ways but I find it captivating and amusing.

NOT enjoying the addition of the grandmother. She is an unnecessary part of an otherwise hilarious show.
