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.

This was a really enjoyable show up to season 4. Season 5 just seems like a bunch of work agenda hacks trying to force things. Really miss Julia Butters as AnnaKat and the writing got lazy.

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 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.

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.
