Why Your Children's Television Program Sucks: Max & Ruby

deadspin.com 18 Feb '13, 9pm

@drewmagary

Again, it's Grandma who usually shows up at the end of every episode to point out to Ruby that Max's spontaneity helped save the day, which no doubt causes Ruby to further resent her brother's youthfulness and her inability to exert complete control over the world at large. When Ruby is pushing Max around and demanding he not eat her lipstick, she's really projecting her anger at Grandma onto him. Why don't you live with the kids, Grandma? How can you pop in and out at your convenience? Can't you see that Max is marginally retarded and in desperate need of structure? Why have you left this all on Ruby's shoulders? And you have the NERVE to walk through that door chuckling like nothing's the matter? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, WOMAN?!
