No idea how this series could get such a high rating. We in german countries probably have a different idea of "modern". We have an expanded vocabulary and are therefore able to say much more clearly what is going on in this series. And that certainly has nothing to do with "modern". I find it particularly disturbing that a tv-show has been made out of a family, in which certain protagonists repeatedly express stupid thoughts on the couch. Do Americans really like such pseudo-reality nonsense? I, for one, bought only the first season and canceled all the following ones. It's perhaps not the series at all, but me. Maybe I am not developed enough to find something like this nice, entertaining and funny.
