Blog:American Housewife

American Housewife is an American sitcom that first aired on October 11, 2016, on ABC. The show features an overweight housewife who lives in Westport and hates skinny women.

Why It Is The Fattest Housewife

 * 1) The show relies on stereotypes, with Greg being the dumbass dad, Taylor being the stereotypical teen, Oliver being the bratty, snarky wanna-be-rich kid and Anna-Kat being the spoiled kid.
 * 2) The humor is mostly unfunny. Watch the show and you will find out why.
 * 3) Most of the acting ranges from okay to somewhat poor.
 * 4) Katie is mostly unlikable, as she is a sexist, disrespectful, unapologetic, spiteful woman who hates skinnies.
 * 5) The show mocks Norwalk, to the point of it stirring up controversy.
 * 6) The episodes range from being OK to outright detestable, mostly ones that feature Viv (who I find annoying).
 * 7) The show ended on several cliffhangers, with no season 6 to end the cliffhangers.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite somewhat hit-or-miss acting, Katy Mixon does do an amazing performance of Katie Otto, though the character was poorly executed.
 * 2) The concept is interesting, though it is mostly mediocre.

So... American Housewife is a mixed bag for me.
