* CriticalResearchFailure: In the New Year's segment of "Sophia Honeymoon Critter Y2K" Joan says that the not-yet-born Tyler will be a Millenial, which actually refers to those born between 1980-1996. Tyler, being born in the 2000s, would actually be Generation Z.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley:
** Cheeto, a puppet that John makes for his baby granddaughter Lark, terrifies everyone in the family. Someone decides to use this as a prank to scare other family members, and HilarityEnsues.
** The show uses some dodgy computer manipulation to move Lark's mouth when they want the baby to say something specifically related to the plot.

Added DiffLines:

* CriticalDissonance: The series is undoubtedly cheesy, but many fans enjoy the show as a lighthearted sitcom that doesn't take much investment. However, many critics denounce the show as a lazily written cookie-cutter sitcom too heavily reliant on RuleOfCute and {{Fanservice}}.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The critical consensus about the show is that although it thinks it's doing something fresh and new by presenting all four stories in sequence, it's basically just a regular sitcom that doesn't bother to thread its stories together in the usual way.
