A lot of TV shows have trouble putting together a single decent story line week after week. The creators of this Emmy Award-winning FOX TV series somehow manage to put together not one. but four in just about every episode, one for each of the main three couples in the film and a fourth based on the ways the various family members interact (in some cases collide) with each other. It’s a phenomenal achievement, one that really hit its stride in Season 2. The show has a real knack for taking the most mundane situations, from getting ready for Halloween to changing the batteries in a smoke detector, and raising them to the level of art. We’ve all been through what these people are going through, and it’s cathartic to laugh at they way they handle it.
