Two tv series of 2010's I thought were good but weren't actually

  1. How I met your mother.

    Barney should be in the jail. How we even adored that freak creep annoying buffoon I'll never understand. Marshal deserves better, Lily's great despite what the neckbeards at online tv communities might tell you. Ted didn't deserve to be made 'master architect' with zero work experience or connections no remarkable skills as far as anyone could see. I'm not trying to imply anything but do you ever wonder what it was with ted that got him to such great heights that other folks didn't have? I can think of two things and they're both why society is so broken. This could be a tale of how society is so broken even in progressive cities like New York City. Also, where are the black people in NYC?

  2. Modern Family.

    I like telling people Modern Family is the opposite of what Schitt's Creek is. In Schitt's Creek everyone's a nuanced complex character something beyond their fundamental identity. They are people with hopes and dreams desires and weaknesses. They learn, they pull each other up. It's a great show about family and people and how your social connections matter in life. About community.

    Modern family was a tv show that traded solely in stereotypes. You'd get an episode or two in the middle where they would show the character growing up and then revert to what they were originally. Cam and Mitch: gay. That's all they were despite attempts to show something else. Yeah cam was a coach but the coachness was not his defining character, his gayness was. The one-dimensionalness of the characters got a little tiring once the euphoria and excitement of seeing gays got over. There is no family the Dunphy's and Pritchett's are islands by themselves, a united island. They care for nothing else but themselves and their family. We don't see their friends and their neighbors. The only friends we see, of Cam and Mitch are self described 'gay queens', which does not help with my first point. They all exist in a selfish disconnected void of self-obsession. Also, where are the black people in LA?
