The McCarthys (2014–2015)
1/10
Prime example of sit com by the numbers
31 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Can forgive cliché filled one dimensional character, 30 yr old script, dull as dishwater delivery, inane premise, and obvious stereotypes (sports obsessed Boston family, idiot son, loose daughter etc). ALL of this could be forgiven if the show was funny!

This was done nearly 30 years ago and WAY WAY better in Married with children.

This genre can be funny, if it has a decent script. Just take a look at IT Crowd, Father Ted, or to a lesser extent Big Bang.

NONE of these are particularly original, but are funny! Surely the ONLY criteria a comedy is supposed to be judged on IMHO!

Not sure if it is going to be a big US hit, but it most definitely isn't going to cross the pond!

This show needs to be put out of our misery!

DULL DULL DULL
