Yes! I love this show and am so excited that there will be a second season!
I love sitchers its good show I have no idea why the raitings are dropping it’s due to the rankings systems, and they are so old and it’s no wondering why the ratings are bad I am believed that tom ascheim maybe doing something to the raitings
If people are watching all abc family programming shows on On Demand DVR Netflixs online and Hulu that means neilson family is supposed to stream all the programing shows and track all the raitings and it’s taking them hours to retrieve the raitings and hand them over to tom ascheim
