acsc1312 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Really?! You over analyze EVERYTHING! I want to hear your opinions on other tv shows. "Oh my gosh, the Scranton business park from the office is so unrealistic. There wouldn't be that many funny people in one office. There would be more than one black person there." Just enjoy the damn show without nitpicking every aspect of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The 2 American families I know best are both American soldiers having married Austrian girls (my cousins) in Europe. (They now live in Oklahoma and I've visited them a few times). Also not your typical Amerian families. I watch Modern Family, because I like half the characters and think the dialog funny most of the time. The last issue I pointed out, was where I think the characters do not react like real persons would. I would never give a baby entrusted to me to a stranger just because she says, she is the baby's mother. Latina temprament or not. Okay name me ONE sitcom where characters always react like real people. Real people are aren't always as funny and a show like that would be incredibly boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite TV comedy to watch is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the main characters are all dysfunctional greedy assholes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Most of my favourites are Austrian, German and British shows of the 60s and 70s and you surely never heard of them. I liked Dallas(1978) with Larry Hagman, because he was a very believable crook. And I loved him in I Dream Of Jeannie (1965). Of course I overanalyze the series, but is not that the fun of it? I would not do it, if I did not care. I really like the Jay and Mitchel characters and admire certain traits of Phil and Claire. Gloria and Manny are unbelievable for me. I cannot stand Luke and Cam and the girls Alex and Haley do not get interesting plot lines recently. As a prize awarded family sitcom I expect more from Modern Family than some laughs. For instance The Godfather episode with Phil and Luke would have ben more funny, if these roles would have been more in accordance with their habitual personalities in the show.

Rudolf Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Why does Lily hate Vietnam? She thinks she is gay, because her dads are gay and she wants to be like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Actually I asked a question. "Why does Lily hate Vietnam?" I did not get it. I understood why she thinks she is gay, but not not her expressed hatred for Vietnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thought that being Vietnamese meant that she wasn't like them. So she lashed out. You answered your own question in that post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) But Lily talked about "learning it in school", where one fellow seemed to be Italian. Is she the only Asian underachiever in America? I mean I get it that she does not understand what gay means, because nobody will explain it to her at that age, but they are talking about heritage. Gloria is very proud of hers all the time. Lily has met Asian women before and the the Vietnamese restaurant lady was very nice to them, so why the outcry "I hate Vietnam" Edited April 12, 2013 by Rudolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily has met Asian women before and the the Vietnamese restaurant lady was very nice to them, so why the outcry "I hate Vietnam" Yes they talked about it in school but I mean once again she's five or four. She seems to get the very basic concept of it but I don't think she's really going to understand the intricacies of it. I mean, have you never talked to a five year old? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the scene again, she barely understood any of it. Just thinking she could be only 1 of the choices, and not really understanding the meaning of any of them.
