juliet73 January 22, 2024 Share January 22, 2024 I agree with the other posts regarding Mary. She's growing up in a completely different generation and the writers missed so many opportunities to give her great storylines. Instead, we get the same weekly dose of Darlene complaining, everyone being broke, etc. At this point, I'm just hate watching this show and I know I can't be the only one. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/13/#findComment-8271783

I feel like they have no idea what to do with Becky and Darlene unless it relate to romantic interests. They will probably have Ben and Darlene have marital problems. At this point, I would tell Ben to run. There is no reason anyone would want to be a part of this terrible family. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/13/#findComment-8275583

Jaded May 9, 2024 Share May 9, 2024 I stopped watching right before that double or triple wedding was supposed to take place. Initially it was supposed to be me taking a break for a bit. Eventually the thought of having to go back and slog through episodes I'd missed got to be too much for me to to even want to try. I was hoping for so much more from this show. The original series would have the family dealing with real struggles in life at times without making the whole tone of the show feel so dark and depressing. Having said that I don't remember ever feeling so hesitant in regards to deciding if I wanted to continue being a viewer. Sometimes It's felt like the current writers were trying to see just how down and out they could continue to keep everyone so the eventual backslides that would occur could make things even worse. The character of Jackie did get kind of eccentric over the course of time the original show aired. It was never as bad as the direction they decided to go with her in the first couple of seasons this series though. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/page/13/#findComment-8364000
