long running shows like modern family start to fall apart bc they reduce the 3D-ness of their characters into quick words n change them up as dependent on the plot v understanding the characters and keeping their growth consistent. also bc theyre yt and white comedy shows dont know how to engage in anything beyond surface level humor even when they are to some degree tryign to be political

#im bored in quarantine #but its irritating that by s5 claire is simply 'tomboy mom who doesnt understand anything feminine' like #one of the plot points for a s1 ep was that she was trying to force alex to be more feminine #also like clearly they dont mind getting political when its like...easier like 'gay rights!' but thats it #we couldve seen this show really get political. what does it mean for manny and luke to grow up #n model what its lik eto be teenage boysi nterested in girls #the fucks ups as they try to be Men vs actually being considerate. they touch on this but not really #how cam n mitch's apolitical nature obviously impacts lily as an adopted sea girl #im so bored comedy is supposed to be a commentary on like social positioning isnt it? its supposed to like Shake Things #but shows r sooo neoliberal ew
