The writing is okay, the premises is good.

I’ve heard it in movies too, but never on prime time network TV. It really shocked me and it’s not that I don’t have a potty mouth because I do, but there’s a time and a place.

Having watched movies with stereotypical (and offensive) latino characters, I have heard puta thrown around for some time. I knew that it was a rough equivalent of “bitch,” but I didn’t know the severity.

Her little girl goes to pre school and is the only white girl. She started cursing at her mom in Spanish! At first my SIL was shocked, then sort of amused, then realized how BAD these words were and was shocked again. It’s just strange what people let pass on TV these days.

I watched that show but I don’t even know if I heard it but I think I just didn’t understand what a BAD word that is. That is ridiculous and to try to slide it in because it is in Spanish makes it almost worse.

I really did not know. Again, I am left with “wow!”

We see that all the time. They truly do not understand the nuances of language and always hire non-native speakers of the language to write the dialogs. Perhaps that is why Television is the Idiot Box. Errgh. I can empathise with your feelings, totally! One might think they’d be extra careful while using cuss words from another language and worry about offending people. But when someone has lead in their head, they cannot be anything other than toxic.

I love you and particularly love it when you get started “about stereotypes of people of colors”, not just on sitcoms.

And really, judging from what you and the others explained on your Facebook post, it requires more than the ability to speak; one needs to understand the culture for the foreign language that one is learning/using. Some LAZY writer probably just “googled” it English to Spanish translation for BITCH and out popped the P word. Sigh. But I am grateful that I read everyone of your posts so I now know not to use the P word. 

Now about stereotypes of people of colors on these sitcoms… You probably don’t want to get me started… 

Persevere.

The other P word is NEVER acceptable. Never, ever, ever. I cannot imagine that it was on network television!

I don’t like smut in ANY language.

What do I know though, I year n for the days of Lassie and the Waltons again.  Ya know, show a family could enjoy together. 

God bless and have a marvelous New Year Sweetie!

BTW:  I’ve never watched the show and will not ever after this!

Have not seen TBG’s but after reading the HR link I have to wonder if there is any group ‘boycott’ (you know I’m a 70’s girl) on this show. I went over to National Hispanic Media Coalition 
http://nhmc.org/ourissues. They are running a campaign against Jose Luis Sin Censura and “The John and Ken Show,” for defamatory language that targets Latinos, women, and racist language. Maybe a campaign against CBS?

When people know what they are saying and writing isn’t funny, they resort to crap like this. I was a stand up for years, trust me I’d know b/c I fell into that trap. The problem is they recycle the same writers over and over and over again and yes, eventually they run out of stuff to say and often the writers are often men, even on a show with two female leads, created, mind you, by a woman.
