I love sitcoms. I look forward to new ones whenever they come out. I hate https://www.cbs.com/shows/fam/. The new comedy debuts on CBS tonight at 9:30p and I highly suggest skipping it.
Nina Dobrev plays Clem, a woman who just got engaged to a man with a perfect family. She told Nick (Tone Bell) and his parents (Sheryl Lee Ralph and Brian Stokes Mitchell) that her father is dead and she does not talk to her teenage half-sister. Cue, her troubled sister coming back into her life with her dead father (Odessa Adlon) who is very much alive. Now, Shannon (Odessa Adlon) is moving in with her sister and future brother-in-law, and Clem has to tell her new family all about her old one. Something she does not want to do because she wants absolutely nothing to do with the worst father of the year. Her new family wants to merge with her old one for the upcoming wedding and it is all going to become one huge unfunny mess.
I will start with something positive Ralph and Mitchell are the highlights of the show. Now the negative or everything else. I have been a fan of Dobrev’s since Degrassi, but comedy is not for her. Or it could be the lame forced jokes they wrote for her and the cast. When a show is a chore to watch, then it is not worth watching.
