tenativelyyours November 16, 2016 Share November 16, 2016 I just took it as this is not meant to be a show to learn from. That while they are representing their views on the matter they are not trying to sell a blanket definition on things. Subjective insight as opposed to hand holding attempts to craft an unbiased narrative and yet still deliver a message. And in the current theme of television shows, especially ones that call themselves comedies even if just in part, they often are making a character learn something by the end that passes on to the audience of how things should be. Almost every major network sitcom does this. Hits the viewer over the head with growth that is supposed to translate to a feel good response I suspect. To the point that there is either open assertions like delivered on Two Broke Girls where one, usually the blonde, cheerily proclaims that despite all the dick jokes, the raunchy one really does have a heart/friendship is everything. On others there is simple confession that clears the air until the next episode like the lackluster No Tomorrow. But usually there is a narrator that delivers the closing lines over the confirming visuals like in Black-ish, Modern Family, Speechless and now American Wife. Because in case you didn't watch Sesame Street, those comedies will spend nineteen minutes of their characters being incredibly mean to each other (as family members in real life it would be abuse) but then clear the slate by having 90 seconds of love means everything chatter and didn't you all just learn a valuable life lesson? Because you're old enough to pay a cable bill but apparently the simple aspects of being nice to the ones you care about escaped you. Until we showed you. Just now. And will next week too. As someone who hates parable driven sitcoms as morality plays, I actually love Glover and the others even more for recognizing that as morally corrupt we are as a society, not all of us need our emotional noses wiped. Or our moral compass constantly recalculated. More times than not, most of us can make that u-turn on our own. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45299-atlanta-in-the-media/#findComment-2751347
