Mid-Century Modern

Whenever I watch a multicam sitcom for the first time in a while, it always takes a minute to not feel like the jokes are forced and in your face but this one settles in really nicely. Push through the first episode and its storyline setup and you'll probably appreciate it.

Some jokes are cliche but many are very very funny and I enjoy that the humour isn't so clean and conservative. It can be very funny when characters drop the f-bomb and talk about real and relatable gay topics. It also features a great cast with some very recognisable sitcom actors in each episode.

I've easily and enjoyably binged the whole season in one day and would happily watch a season 2.

I really love this show! It brought me right back to being with my nana watching The Golden Girls! We need more sitcoms like this, something that is fun and easy to watch. I don't understand the bad reviews at all. How can you not like something so special? I spent the majority of my day prepping my families favorite dinner and watching Mid Century Modern made the day fly by. I LOVE the cast and can never pass up a Ryan Murphy production. Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer and Nathan Lee Graham should be so so proud. This show made me laugh and cry (RIP Linda Lavin) and just made me happy. We need more happy, bring on season 2!

With everything going on in the Country today it's refreshing to have a show like this. Mid-Centry Modern is like a 90's sitcom with a laugh track, great acting and fun little stories. Mat Bomer is adorable as always and Nathan Lane is a class act in this role. So sad to see that Linda Lavin is in it and not here with us anymore and is exactly what this show needed.i totally recommend Mid-Century Modern bright sets, witty humor, great writing and a realistic look at how gay culture is really like. If you want to just sit back and relax this is the show for you. The Golden Girls of the century.

A pitiful waste of multiple talents.

It is painful to watch Bomer play a character dumber than dirt after watching him play the intelligent and witty Neal Caffrey.

It also resorts to the old stereotype of a gay man and his shrewish mother

The jokes are older than Moses, while the punch lines can be seen from a mile away.

I was hoping this would have dry, witty, sarcastic humor like a gay male version of The Golden Girls.

It is made worse by the fact that two of the leading men are actually gay and have personally destroyed most of the traditional and incorrect ideas about gay men.

If this show gets a second season, I hope it improves by leaps and bounds.

The previews and trailers made me worried it would be too cheesy, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been bored by many of the more recent sitcoms (it's hard to love again after 'Parks and Recreation' was so perfect and so many shows feel stale or overly forced.) Mid-Century Modern feels like watching 'The Golden Girls,' 'The Nanny,' or 'Just Shoot Me' again for the first time - stupid in the best way, chock-full of hilarious little quips, and has heart without being smug about it. If you're a lover of classic sitcoms or a fan of Nathan Lane's character in 'The Birdcage,' you might consider giving this one a go, it's a lot of fun and they have some fantastic guest stars.
