Grounded for Life (2001–2005)
10/10
One of my Favorite Shows!
19 December 2022
Most. Authentic, Depiction. Of a Teenage Daughter EVER. I would know because I was an obnoxious screaming stubborn know-it-all, like Lily. Casting Kevin Corrigan in ANYTHING elevates the product. Uncle Eddie is both loveable and despicable. Brad, the boy next door with a crush on Lily, is both heart-breakingly pathetic and hilarious. Even the later casting of Dean only made the show better. It's one of those shows you really wish the network didn't cancel.so soon. They just bought a bar! There was so much left to tell. It didn't get much love or appreciation. Ignored and Underrated, there was something deeper making it stand out. This show FEELS real. Critics couldn't see beyond the family sitcom formula to recognize the hilarious-because-its-true writing. I wish they would bring this show BACK, so we can follow the Kid's lives with Sean and Claudia now young GRANDPARTENTS! Who do I talk to to make this happen? I want to see 40-year-old Lily married to Brad or Dean, with THEIR kids. With perfect casting and clever writing, this show is still incredibly relevant. 20 years later. It has stuck with me more than any other sitcom.
