What happened to the days of such comedies as M*A*S*H and Golden Girls when you actually liked all of the characters? Instead, we are stuck with the likes of “Beverly” in “The Goldbergs” (“Franki” in “The Middle” and most of the characters in “Modern Family”) who are so irritating that you’re left wanting them to fail. The shoe is funny, but the characters are annoying.
