    There are episodes that are entertaining, yet Clare and her dimwit husband are the worst examples of "parents" I have seen in decades. Both act as if they quit school at age twelve and never got any older. It's likely just MY inability to find humor in their situation, however typically I can say, "It's just TV" and move on. In their case - it just doesn't work.

    It seems that in the last couple of years the "gay card" has been overplayed; it certainly is in this show. I see no entertainment value in either "partner" and if it was not for little 'Lilly' the only laughs generated by this side of the family would be when one of them is held up by another cast member. Individually the "guys" detract from every situation into which they are placed.

    Gloria does make me laugh - a lot. She has the uncanny ability to take the best situation and misunderstand what is going on only to then turn around and be the focal point of laughter. "Mister Closet King" is certainly a lucky fellow; Gloria adores him and he is also a great dad capable of making the best (or worst) out of nearly every situation.

    Bottom line: How the show wins award after award (even though shut out this year) is beyond me. I WILL keep watching though simply because when it is "funny" it is actually "hilarious".

    It's improved again ! Cam's performance was a bit overacted this time around and Gloria's character is stagnant but sitcoms aren't about character developments it's about getting the most out of your characters single defining characteristic.
