Yeah, im with you on that. I will watch because i loved MitM back in the day, still watch old episodes now from time to time, but that wasn't the best trailer. My expectations are low for this tbh.

…I mean, I love Brian Cranston as an actor but that trailer opening with Lois shaving full body hair from a naked Hal while they’re on a video call to their son…no one needs that……it also feels as though Hal and Lois …(…and all of the characters possibly…)…haven’t had any personal character growth with all the years that have passed…they worked excellently as parents of teenage boys but not so much now, for me…as you say, from the trailer my expectations are pretty low but I loved the original…

I will also watch this, am a huge MitM fan, and i prefer Bryan Cranston in comedy over breaking bad (what i personally am not a fan of)

That scene with the jesus painting is hilarious honestly how he is too scared to paint over it

Yeah you're totally right actually. I know the naked shaving scene is a throwback to the first ever episode, but it just doesn't work when the kids are no longer kids, and full grown adults now. In no world ever would parents in their 60's be shaving their pubes while facecaming with their adult son

And, i have a feeling the characters will ham up and over act. I dunno, i wanna like it, but that trailer isn't appealing really, like you say.
