Between this show and the Parent Trap movies (old and new), my kid is thoroughly confused about twins

My kids are 8 and 9, so maybe older than your kids, but we enjoy watching the Middle and The Neighbors.

true.

And my daughter really wants to watch Dancing with the Stars for some of the Disney stars and athletes she knows. I honestly even think THAT is too racy. There is really NOTHING anymore.

Hence, why I only allow her to watch Disney and some of the old sitcoms on The Hub

Regular TV is crap,,crappy sitcoms and filled with stupid reality and dancing singing competitions.



+1. I haven't watched prime time TV in a long time. And on the ocassion that some must see TV sitcom is on when I walk by, I just stare and stare and stare, waiting for the punchline but sadly, it never comes.


Years later, reruns of Seinfeld is still way funnier than the crappy sitcoms on TV these days. Now Portlandia? THAT is a hilarious show.

Thanks for reminding me. OMG, that show was so wrong, it was right. Dreama and Kristen were excellent in those roles.

I think Modern Family is hilarious and well-written. New Girl consistently makes me laugh. Big Bang Theory isn't as good as it used to be, but it's still worth watching. I thought the new "trophy wives" was decent last week.

I always hated "Everybody loves raymond" - felt the humor just didn't speak to me.
