Modern Family is repulsive.

Can TV, and prime time TV for that matter, fall any lower? I do not think so. The average American IQ when it comes to understanding foreign cultures and other groups that are not part of the heterosexual paradigm is -20, and this negative score is usually, and sadly, gained through TV since people do not take the time to acquire the knowledge the way it should be done: through personal contact and speech, studying how they express themselves, reading newspapers and literature, watching their films , etc. This show is only helping perpetrate the already existing equivocal stereotypes and, the worst part of all, increasing the already prevailing stupidity of the general public.

The Middle sounds ok but not sure it’ll have the mass appeal of 9s other top sitcoms like 2.5 men or TBBT. Just looking at the ratings for all these shows and ABC must be desperate as they dropped off from already low rating premieres. Cougar Town dropped over a million to under 8m and will likely drop off further. The others did similar. It sounds like a show that wouldn’t go down well with Sevens older skewing audience and will be gone faster then a zyrtec!

And on PP it’s beating The Mentalist slightly in 18-49 but losing overall by about 5 million.

Having just seen The Middle (damn these trips to the US are tiring) I’m a fan after just the pilot. I guess Nine will find a way to screw it up! Maybe they should just put it in GO! on comedy Sundays?

well wouldn’t ABC be glad they didn’t axe private practice. it’s ratings this week were really good with a big demographic lead on it’s competition which includes the mentalist on CBS. it’s not very often that a show that gets a borderline renual recovers to the point it becomes a network staple.

Good point Craig. I have never watched TAAHM, so I don’t know how crude it is. It’s just that Cougar Town’s premiere was TV 14+ in the US and airs at 9.30 there. The second episode was milder though.

Ten should really consider airing The Office in a primetime slot during summer in double episodes to see how it goes, and then later on next year pair it up with Modern Family. That would be great! Ten, just listen to everybody and put The Office in a good timeslot.

Cougar town is awesome, and the missus loves eastwick, slow to start with but is coming to the boil nicely now.

Cougar Town is such a fantastic series, very humorous. Glad it received a full season and is with Seven.

Both Modern Family & The Middle (despite the annoying P Heaton) will be on my to watch list in 2010.

Don’t think any of them will be big hits here though but you never know.

IMO Cougar Town is much better suited to prime time than the crude jokes on 2.5 Men.

Nine had a good family comedy in Malcolm in the Middle and they screwed it up. I still think Community is the best of all the new comedies, but it seems doomed with the new US time slot. Cougar Town might not be appropriate for PG time slot on Seven.
