Well, James, I was born in 1980. I didn't really have time to thoroughly analyze and publically comment upon sitcom satire in the time between my mother's high school graduation and my first day of kindergarten. Pardon me for commenting on a current show at age 38 instead.
Let's discuss, shall we, the immediate jump of people to defend failed satire by screaming, "YEAH WELL ALL IN THE FAMILY!" This is going to be difficult for a lot of people to grasp, but comparing something bad to something good doesn't make the bad thing seem better.
All it does is point out that whatever you're defending could have been done successfully by Norman Lear.
Comparing Insatiable to All In The Family or The Jeffersons is like comparing a burnt casserole you made to pork Osso Bucco prepared by Gordon Ramsay. Your casserole is not going to suddenly look more appetizing.
(And if the only defense of failed satire that you can come up with are television shows that are 35-45 years old? You're probably not familiar enough with pop culture to understand how satirical comedy has changed since then.)
