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.

The show hasn't been the same since season 5.(Actually season 4 isn't that great either.)

First they replaced Anna-Kat, who's the most interesting role in the show. Cute, witty, mature,a little evil, etc, she had it all. And now she's just anther kid in a family show. Ghiselle Eisenberg's Anna-Kat is good but Julia Butters' Anna-Kat was top-notch.(Sometimes I think she's the best in this show, )

Then Angela and Doris are replaced by two EXACT characters,{seriously what's up with that?} Holly Robinson Peete and Jake Choi are great, and I can see the effort they put in to build their characters, but It's hard to image second breakfast with strange faces. And it's lazy for the show to simply replace Angla and Doris, they should groom other characters such as Maria or Viv to join the second breakfast, it'd be less awkward.

Besides that, Katie has changed too much,(She's still a mother, right?) and it feels like Taylor is about to dump Trip for the T.A... please don't do that.

Maybe it's better to cancel this show before it's completely ruined,just saying.

I loved the first 3 seasons. I was starting to lose interest mid-season 4 but season 5 has lost me completely. I understand diversity but it's almost offensive to replace an African American actress and an Asian American actress with the exact same race in the exact same supporting role. It feels like they are trying too hard to be politically correct at the expense of keeping a realistic story line. The recast of Ana-Kat has also fallen seriously flat. Ghiselle Eisenberg is an excellent little actress but she's an odd fit for this particular sitcom.

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.
