CBC is in such a huge rush to replace Kim's Convenience. They keep creating diverse comedies with weak writing & weak casting. It took two years to write, develop & cast Kim's Convenience.
They missed an opportunity to make a much better show. Moving from Toronto to the suburbs is a huge adjustment for people living the DT Toronto lifestyle.
There was plenty of humour that can be found in transitioning from city life.
They need to spend more time casting & finding better comedy writers. The show requires a solid adversary for Phung.
Conflict drives the comedy. This show is so obsessed with trying to portray a conflict-free idealized diversified world; it fails to deliver any laughs.
There are too many one dimensional characters who do nothing to drive the comedy.
I like Andrew Phung. Run the Burbs is not very funny. It's a huge miss.
