Suburgatory (2011)
A single father reacts to his teenage daughter's recent unappealing behavior by hastily relocating their lives from NYC to an outlying suburb.
As it says, I may spoil some areas of the show. As the reader, just assume this review is full of spoilers of the first episode. A father (George Altman) invades the privacy of his daughter's (Tessa Altman) room and discovers a box of unopened condoms in her dresser and naively assumes that by moving from the big city to the suburbs, that his problems will be over.
I had a problem with a few things. 1. He wants to discourage his daughter from being sexually active, and then tries to encourage a more provocative and feminine sense of style once in the suburbs.
2. The writers/directors have employed the tiresome tool of trying too hard to create comedy.
3. We're supposed to believe that in all of NYC the first time Tessa met a superficial person only interested in looks, was when she moved to the suburbs. Never had she seen such a fake person.
All in all, it was a funny show. It has the ability to be the show everyone wants to watch.
