I watched the rerun of the bike episode last night, and was underwhelmed.

After Modern Family, I watched the first 5 minutes of the Patricia Heaton show about the Indiana family.  I'm pretty sure it's Malcolm in the Middle, which I'm pretty sure was Roseanne, but it was way more terrible because it has Patricia Heaton and doesn't have Bryan Cranston.

That's the show that looks like Malcolm in the Middle without Malcolm, right? What's that one called again?

This show is just good enough that I don't mind if the wife wants to watch it, but don't care if I miss it. The spray bottle to MiniZ was good though.

I had to look up what it was actually called before I got that.  Holy shit.

Went back and watched the first episode.  Wasn't bad, but nothing I plan on continuing.  The female lead just killjoys it for me.  I know she's popular, I know she's 'hot', but she's also a shrill unfunny loud bitch.  Yeah, I said it.  WhaBam!

The end, with the dad spiking a block into his son's face while playing basketball in an enclosed trampoline, now that was funny.  I'll echo his line, as a message to the show -- "don't bring that weak stuff into my kitchen".

This show doesn't make me laugh like Parks and Recreation or The Office, but I can't help but like it.  Sofia Vergara is one of the hottest women on TV right now.

It's getting better.

Either that, or I've just started fixating on Sofia Vergara's ass more.

Either way, a decent half hour.

Disagree'd. Too sitcom-y/on the nose lately.

I nutted up and watched another episode a week or two ago. The dreamy Benjamin Bratt guest starred.

I renew my objection to this show.

SofĂ­a Vergara is still unbelievable and Ed O'Neill is still pretty hilarious.

And the gay dudes are still comedy butt cancer.

Yep. Sometimes I start to like this show, but then they resort to tired sitcom tricks like Sofia Vergara overhearing/misunderstanding a conversation. It's like watching Three's Company, and as much as like Ed O'Neil.....he's no John Ritter.
