The Real O'Neals (2016–2017)
9/10
Oh so funny...
28 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, yes, stereotypes galore, camp as all heck with a lot of great one liners in it and a lot of them delivered by the Mother played by the more than competent Plimpton (whom I loved in the Good Wife).

All the characters in the family are very good in this, the gay son is hilarious and can he dance (and gay ham it up when need be). The dance scene after realizing he has a boyfriend was pretty awesome and they played it right up for him with multiple dance themes using each rainbow color.

They have added other characters to the show to add more spice to it and has worked very well.

Unless you are anti-gay, as some early posters here clearly are (this is not a venue for your personal bigotry disguised as a review), this show is hilarious and the cast are very good comedic actors. Whomever selected the cast knew what they were doing.

One funny, funny escapist show that is light-hearted and never takes itself too seriously (they even lampoon gay conversion therapy camp, they camped that up as well...too funny). Thank you for that. There is enough "preachyness" on TV nowadays.
