This is going to be
the first in a new series of posts for me.
I watch a lot of TV and I'm always trying to get people to watch shows
that I enjoy, and what better place than my blog? With cancellation season unfortunately
looming ahead, I'll probably start off with shows that are sadly on the brink
of cancellation in the hope that you'll watch them, love them, and tell all
your friends to watch them too so they have a better shot at getting renewed.
I have to admit, when I started seeing promos for 1600 Penn on NBC, I was more than a
little skeptical. It looked cheesy,
corny, and didn't look like there could be any more jokes in it than there were
in the promos. But after I watched it,
my mind changed completely. 1600 Penn is a delightful addition to the
NBC Comedy Thursday lineup. Unlike the
rest of the shows in the lineup (now that Up
All Night's future is up in the air), it's more of a family sitcom, but
that's what gives it its charm. I've
seen a lot of comparisons to Modern
Family, but I wouldn't say that.
While Modern Family does have
storylines about the kids, they're always in the background. 1600
Penn brings the kids' storylines to the front, especially with Becca and
Skip, and that's what makes it stand out to me.
