Is Surviving Suburbia The Worst Show Of All Time?

You want the three word review of Surviving Suburbia?

It is shit.

Okay now here's some more words on the subject:

Surviving Suburbia could quite conceivably be the worst television show of all time. A television program so devoid of humour and imagination that it makes Cavemen look like Seinfeld. A television show with so little ambition that if it through it a couple of winks to the camera it could very well be a parody of every awful family sitcom ever made.

Surviving Suburbia (god doesn’t the title even scream ‘generic’) first came to life as a sitcom for The CW but it got bumped from their schedule. ABC then jumped in and picked it up. Here’s the first sign of things to come: THE CW REJECTED IT. Jesus you don’t go picking up the food thrown out by the homeless guy. Come on.

It’s the story of a sarcastic grumpy put upon dad played by a miserable Bob Saget, he has a wise ass wife who deep downs loves him very much, he has as “cute” daughter constantly fawning for attention, he has a son apparently but he jumped in and out of scenes so quick he may have just been a ghost, he has a creepy best friend and he has a dopey neighbour. All that was missing was a copyright logo that says ‘1987’.

Let’s begin with the plot because it’s only downhill from there. The dopey neighbour wants to give the grumpy dad his house keys so he can look after his fish, Bob Saget moans about how ‘house keys lead to blah blah blah insert generic discussion of ‘suburbs thing’ that doesn’t really happen in real life. His friend then causes a fire in the guys place, Bob Saget puts it out, calls himself a hero, gets treated as a hero, then feels guilty and decides to tell the truth – thus learning the lesson of what it means to be a real hero. Class, you may now go vomit.

EVERYTHING about this show is bad. From its title, to the screen wipes used to cut between the scenes, from the annoying as fuck little girl, even Bob Saget’s posture was horrible.

Words really cannot describe how bad Surviving Suburbia is. Well I guess they can: I’d rather watch a Two & A Half Men MARATHON.

Good, Average, Bad or Ugly?
Ugly.
