You can see plenty of family scenarios tonight on MTV and NBC. First, the second half of MTV's Awkward is expected to finish out the story of Jenna and Matty as they experience college life. This is supposed to be the last season, but you never know. One thing I like the show is the parents are somewhat involved and not complete idiots, unlike many teen shows.
Next, the third season of MTV's Faking It premieres tonight with the story of Karma, Amy, Liam, Shane, and others. Here the adults have less input and value - they are more vain and clueless than the kids. The show differs from Awkward in that the kids are more diverse. I also think the writing is better.
Finally, the new show NBC Crowded has functional kids and adults. This is the set up:
After 20 years of parenting, empty nesters Mike and Martina are finally reclaiming their wild side. But when both of their two grown daughters unexpectedly move back in and Mike's parents scratch their plans to spend their golden years in Florida, their roost is full again.
Crowded seems to be the later version of Awkward and Faking It after these young "adults" fail to find a real job. It may be the most realistic story these days. I plan to check it out.
