If You Want to See More Chicago-Based Sitcom Trash on TV, You Still Can
Sometimes lame shows don't go away, such as "Still Standing", which lasted from 2002-2006. It's in syndication on ABC Family, if you want to see a Hollywood set with fake Chicago snow outside and a screwed-up family inside.
I don't know why the trend in television sitcoms is stupid dads, but this show is yet another one that adds that junk to the pile. The father has no problem showing his ignorance, and is pleased with himself because he's an unattractive, overweight slob who was able to manipulate his attractive wife into marrying him. He also openly lusts after teenage girls and gives sleazy advice to his kids, who he doesn't seem to care about anyway.
If Chicago has such stupid people in it, why does Hollywood have to broadcast it to the world? Thanks, again, for churning out lame shows and reminding us of them even when they officially die.
