Back in the da...I have had the exact same thought. Back in the day when things were really rough...I can't imagine wanting anyone to watch that. I love that show. Joe can't stand it. M makes fun of me for watching it and says, "Those kids whine too much! Shut it off!" Too funny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-1130991843952269432008-09-18T23:07:00.000-05:002008-09-18T23:07:00.000-05:00I've wondered that too.

People are so fascinated with lives that are different than their own, I'd love for them to walk a day in ours, the issue would be being able to portray those moments that to us are funny and sweet in the right light.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749377046524745581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-4332763646444757652008-09-17T06:34:00.000-05:002008-09-17T06:34:00.000-05:00But to be realistic, they would need to show both ...But to be realistic, they would need to show both parts, wouldn't they? <BR/><BR/>I think if it was realistic, both the good and the bad, it would, in large part, turn people off. But if done well (and realistically), the sweet, funny, tender parts might at least give viewers some cognitive dissonance. Turned off and somewhat grossed out on the one hand but drawn in and somewhat connected on the other. <BR/><BR/>And then ... the good, the bad and the ugly ... they would have much more of a true sense of our lives. Find us harder to ignore. And to pity, when they are forced to turn their minds this way. That perhaps is the best we could hope for. Because I don't believe that people can truly "get it" until they live it.<BR/><BR/>So yeah, I think it could be done. Good luck finding somebody willing to take a chance and actually try it though.Michelle Morgan-Coolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671529553739362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-30016298267223005272008-09-17T04:34:00.000-05:002008-09-17T04:34:00.000-05:00I wonder, too.

I wonder if maybe it would bring some understanding to people who haven't experienced anything like that. It probably ALL depends on the editing, you know. They can edit a show to make it whatever they want. They could show the funny, tender, sweet parts of life, or they could show parts that make it seem awful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-62364055294885753532008-09-16T21:47:00.000-05:002008-09-16T21:47:00.000-05:00I've read enough talented bloggers to believe your...I've read enough talented bloggers to believe your family could be represented exactly and with both humor and respect in a tv sitcom.
