This week I chose to review a new show to which I have really been looking forward. It's called Monster In-Laws and it airs on A&E Monday nights at 10pm. It's simply delightful. I saw previews for the show weeks ago and I couldn't wait for it to premiere. The fact that they decided to air two episodes just made my night even better.
The first episode was about a couple who's parents would never leave them alone and who undermined the way they were raising their daughter. It was like the real life version of Everybody Loves Raymond but with much more yelling. The main problem was the grandfather. He was a hot blooded control freak who thought he knew what was best for everyone.
The climax of this episode was when he was finally confronted about how he was negatively impacting the family dynamic. He flipped out, and I could not stop laughing. I love it when people who are obviously the problem, are in complete denial.
The second episode was about an expectant couple and a mother in-law who recently reconnected with her daughter after 5 years of being ignored. This episode began like the first one. The mother in-law was undermining her daughter's husband and calling him out on the fact that being self employed can sometimes be difficult to provide for his family. However, with the help of the relationship expert provided by the A&E network, she soon realized how much trouble and stress she was creating. When the family settled down and finally figured out how much debt they were in, they realized how important having a good family dynamic can alleviate the stress that the economy has caused.
The show does well to both entertain the audience and teach a valuable lesson about being critical of your family. Check it out next Monday night at 10pm on A&E.
