“Til Death” — Performance Anxiety
Ummm…
After reviewing Back To You yesterday, I figured it would only be fair to give the season premiere of ‘Til Death another shot. The last time I watched the series was a year ago when it made its premiere. Honestly, I’m shocked it made it out of the fall, let alone found its way to a whole other season. I hated it then. I still hate it now.
‘Til Death is from the Married With Children family of sitcoms, only without the irony. It’s a show about the hell that is marriage. It suggests all couples in long-term relationships endlessly fight like rabid badgers in a burlap sack while trading insults written by some former Lampoon intern’s kid. It’s not so much that the format doesn’t work (Everybody Loves Raymond mined this territory for the better part of a decade), just that it seems completely derivative and especially tired. A bit more after the jump…
