History YMMV / Duncanville

* {{Tearjerker}}: Bex appears to be this show's [[ButtMonkey Meg]] or at least a close second compared to Kimberly with how most of the jokes centered around her are about how she clings for approval and living with only her grandma. This is specially shown when she yelled "Shut Up" to her Grandma at an attempt to get online-famous in the episode, Party Like a Rocket Star.
-->'''Bex:''' NO GRANDMA! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE. *starts tearing up* I think a piece of the Devil got in me. *voice starts cracking and she's sobbing* YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING GRANDMA! YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING!

* ToughActToFollow: Between the breakout success of ''WesternAnimation/BlessTheHarts'', which ended Fox's nine-year adult animation DorkAge, and considering ''Duncanville'' co-creator Mike Scully was also a writer and the showrunner of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' from seasons 9 to 12, with the first two seasons [[BrokenBase debatably]] being the last of the show's GoldenAge or the beginning of its own DorkAge, there is a bit a skepticism on whether or not this show was going to be just as bad as the network's past animated failures. In fairness, ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers''' inaugural season also received mixed reviews before the show [[GrowingTheBeard grew the beard]] in later seasons.
** The fact that, unlike Bless The Harts, which got cancelled after 2 seasons, Duncanville was renewed for season 3 before the second even started airing shows that Duncanville may have what it takes to keep up with some of Fox's best shows.
