ABC has found some great success with their family comedy series. Several have been cancelled along the way but the network has managed to successfully fill numerous timeslots with sitcoms. How will the American Housewife TV show perform? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
American Housewife revolves around an average wife and mom, Katie (Katy Mixon), who does her best to stand out from the “perfect” housewives and their privileged children of Westport. Katie’s husband (Diedrich Bader) is a logical guy and supports her in every way he can, including working to ensure that their children (Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, and Julia Butters) do not end up like everyone else in their neighborhood. Katie’s friends are played by Carly Hughes and Ali Wong.

Love this show. Please bring back for a second season. It’s the only sitcom my husband will watch with me.
Love it!!!! Keep it,
I had high hopes for this show. LOVE Katie Mixon but all this show seems to do is focus on her weight and lack of motivation. There are glimmers of the smart, funny, fun comedy I was hoping to view. The Thanksgiving episode with her mom was hilarious!!!! If the writers can stay on that track and quit veering off on her “fat” so often, this show would be gold.
Love this show!! I’m glad that they are focusing less on AnnaCat and more on Oliver and Taylor!! I think that’s the age range they’re going to really draw people in with and their characters are more real. AnnaCat is a good additional character and the kids interact how my family would – AnnaCat and Oliver bickering etc. The characters are really being developed more which is great. It’s quirky, different, and hilarious. Please keep this show! It takes a special show to get me actually laugh out loud, but this one gets me every time. I watch on my… Read more »
Love this show!! Please do a season 2
Funny except for the 2 lesbians who are not funny at all, and are constantly announcing they are lesbians. Incredibly lame. But the main family is hysterical.

So funny!! Finally a great family sitcom!! This show is an original! I highly recommend it.
Love It

Just started watching this on demand and it is the funniest new show this year.
Best sitcom on TV! Finally something truly funny and refreshing!
Love Katy Mixon–she is quick and funny! A light comedy but I’m not sure about the way they characterize her children —
The pilot was hilarious. I can’t wait for more episodes.
Edgy, hilarious, honest, best show around. The kids are amazing! Absolutely love this show.
