Note de gryffindor249
The critics were unnecessarily viscous to this show. There already had been a progression of Lucy's sitcoms declining in quality, falling from the genre-defining standards of I LOVE LUCY, then a step down with the early seasons of THE LUCY SHOW and another step down with that show's later seasons. HERE'S LUCY is generally middling at best, with a few standout episodes here and there and a few that are practically unwatchable. And LIFE WITH LUCY was never destined to be a classic. But called "the worst show in TV History?" Give me a break! That was said during a time that SMALL WONDER and SHE'S THE SHERIFF were on the air!
LIFE WITH LUCY, taken out of the context of Ms. Ball's incredible career is just an OK sitcom. It would have been perfectly fine paired with PERFECT STRANGERS which was a mild hit at the time. People keeps saying that Lucy's brand of comedy was "out of date" when the show came on the air, but PERFECT STRANGERS was pretty much the same style and ran for years and spun-off FAMILY MATTERS which also relied quite a bit on broad characterizations and slapstick.
LIFE WITH LUCY could have been a perfect fit on TGIF and would be a rare show that grandparents could watch with their grandkids. Had the show starred Mary Jane Croft or Mary Wickes and been called LIFE WITH GRANNY it would never have been so savaged. I am also certain it would not have topped the ratings or won Emmy Awards, but I bet they could have gotten a good run out of it and found it to be a popular draw in syndication.
TV owes so much to Lucille Ball. She may have deserved a better vehicle. But she also deserved respect.

If all they wanted to do was Virtue Signal, would it have not been far cheaper and easier to just do a contemporary story than to take the time, trouble and expense that a STAR WARS project requires? I can agree that 2024 is not 1977 and it actually would be rather laughable to believe that is a vast galaxy with tens of thousands of worlds and species all of the big adventures would be led and fulfilled by Caucasian Heterosexual White Males. So, we see more diversity now in STAR WARS and have for some time. Perfectly fine. I myself have cringed at some of the hatred thrown at some recent projects such as STAR TREK DISCOVERY from people who just cannot stand the thought of a bridge on a starship being dominated by women. Oh, grow up people!
I liked AHSOKA very much and did not even note until I was a few episodes in how woman dominated the show was. Why? Because I was following a show that engaged with me with an interesting plot, strong characters and good dialogue. If one is just noticing the blinding, Death Star Laser-level bright Virtue Signaling while watching the show that means they are not otherwise engaged. And that means your show is in serious trouble. A capable writer and/ or knows how to make social commentary within the context of SciFi or Fantasy in a subtle way that sneaks upon you. This is all so blatant one might think they just got all the ideas from reading bumper stickers on hybrid cars at the Whole Foods in Berkeley.
Our leading character in a dual role is simply not believable as a Jedi or a Sith. The actress might be effective in a sitcom or a teen drama on CPW, but playing a heroic role in STAR WARS requires gravitas. Rosario Dawson certainly brought it to the role of Ahsoka. Carrie-Ann Moss had more presence in one scene than she brought to the entire series. The actress was certainly not helped by the lousy dialogue. Some of this might have been said about Mark Hamill in the very first film, but he was still portraying a farmboy born to greatness and he grew into the role as the character grew as a Jedi. But, this was not a performance to build an entire series upon. They should have found a young actress from the Royal Shakespeare Company or a recent graduate of Julliard.
There is so much I could go into, but it has already been said in this forum. I really must add that I was taken aback by "Jediabetes." Really? An obese Jedi? I am a person who struggles to keep his weight down, so I am not exactly fat phobic. But this was really beyond the pale. Jedi are warrior monks. Can you imagine if the SHOGUN series had made one of the Ninjas morbidly obese? How about a thin and frail Sumo wrestler while we are at it? Maybe it could have been effective if he was portrayed as being from a planet where they were all naturally large. But this just screamed to me "we are just checking another box!" What is next? A Jedi in an iron lung?
Diversity can make a show more interesting and engage a larger audience. And when you have a canvas as large as the STAR WARS galaxy (far far away) it certainly can give one leeway to introduce a wide array of characters. But it seems that in this case all focus and the limited creative prowess of Leslye Headland went into forcing her personal political opinions into the project. She did the same thing with the disastrous TV series based on HEATHERS and ruined someone else's creation with her "adaptation" there as well and it had similar issues and also imploded. Hollywood: Stop giving her budgets!
No, someone is not bigoted if they hate this miscast, horribly written and produced show. I am certain some may be reactionary and hate anything with a lot of diversity, but most who hate this base their opinion on a lack of quality. As I said: I like AHSOKA. I like DISCOVERY. I just hope I have enough brain cells left to enjoy them after suffering through this failure.

Modern viewers might be surprised at how well this easygoing comedy-drama series still holds up today, a former Top Ten show that is all-but forgotten. But, every show has a worst episode, and this is definitely it!
Still reeling from the "Jump the Shark" moment of pulling a "Cousin Oliver" and adding the completely superfluous character of Jeremy a few episodes prior--a really terrible idea when a show is centered on a family with eight kids who all are fighting for story time--the show does an episode that is a complete and silly departure from its usual tone and structure. I cannot believe this script was accepted and I cannot believe ABC even aired it.
I kept telling myself, "This has to be a dream that Nicolas is having...only the mind of a 10 year-old could come up with this" but, no. This bizarre and illogical homage to "The Maltese Falcon" is a major misstep and if one is binging the series it can and should be skipped.
Will someone please send that kid playing Jeremy to Karate class and get him the hell out of here?
