'The New Normal': More Modern Than 'Modern Family'?
Ryan Murphy and NBC teamed up to create a modern family sitcom, The New Normal. It focuses on a male couple that decides they want to have a baby and a mother of one that decides she wants to finally follow her dreams. What? This sounds similar ABC’s hit show Modern Family you say. Kinda, sorta, not really, because we laughed more at that pilot than this one.
So what does The New Normal have to offer viewers, exactly? Here’s a rundown of reasons we think you ‘might’ want to tune in:
Is this another Ryan Murphy hit? Well, it’s certainly not his strongest pilot, but it is a tender look at building a family and if you’re looking for that kind of thing, definitely give it a shot. If you’re looking for a great new type sitcom, may we suggest Community? (Yes, we know it’s going into its fourth season, but it’s just so darn innovative.)
