American Housewife, an awful attempt to transplant Roseanne into the age of economic inequality, mistakes sophomoric for subversive.

American Housewife tackles an issue that's sure to reverberate with many.

The pilot veers towards breaking the fourth wall and being far too preachy towards the end, though, which doesn't serve it well.

Stereotyping is stereotyping, regardless of which direction the needle tilts on the scale, and it sends all kinds of worrisome messages about self-esteem by putting this issue at the forefront of this show.

The "fat" stuff is way overdone, but Bader and Mixon are good. Otherwise, your watchwords are: too soon to tell.

Mixon's casting would have been much more meaningful had her show more frequently let her form speak for itself. American Housewife's star, so far, is Katie's weight-and a number is a pretty boring premise for a story.

I really did love this show as I stuffed several Domino's marbled cookie brownies into my face and laughed at everything Katy Mixon said. This review is both an endorsement for this show and for Domino's marbled cookie brownies.

Like many pilots nowadays, American Housewife is bolstered by an energetic lead performance - the wonderful Katy Mixon - but without real bite or insight, the show seeps into an indistinct "quirky" sitcom background pretty quickly.

Mixon is entertaining in the role, particularly when she deploys her sarcastic wit against both her tormentors and her children. And she's surrounded by a solid, if not dazzling, supporting cast.
