Seasons 1-3 were fun, but by season four, they messed up some of the characters, especially Erica and they seemed to be running out of ideas. By season 5, they tried to fix their mistakes, but episodes were very hit and miss. Season 6, they messed up again, with more misses than hits. Season 7 is just awful. Adam acts far too childish to say he's a high school senior at least and Bev's attachment to him has increased to an unhealthy degree. It almost seems incestous. Ugh. What a shame. :(

This show features spoiled rotten children, begging for money, stuff, and experiences that culminates in a fake emotional love-fest in every single episode. The writers have zero creativity with plot ideas and if the shows are based on actual family experiences, then growing up must have been a cold slap in the face for these kids.

Ummm. Sorry to say but a no go and heres why......... Its not about a real story or a magical special show that will live in infamy. No its again about money. Amd how every actor is desperalty trying to get in a line amd a facial expression. Waaaay toooo fast paced. What is ur main idea for this show? Show that and no more. Young sheldon beats u all day. Why. They have a real story that is not fueled by trying to give every actor there scene shot. Its about.....u got it now.
