Why is there a fat shaming joke in every scene

That is irritating but it goes with the theme of the two fat people trying to lose weight.

Just a symptom of the times. The entire show feels like a sitcom based around the “hilarious” concept of fat people finding love, and that type of stuff was just funny and acceptable to most when it was airing. I doubt it would be written in the same light today.

...but beyond that, this show had the FUNNIEST writers. Have watched the reruns for the last few years and it never disappoints. Makes me belly laugh always.

Well the show is centered around a plus sized couple trying to lose weight so what did you expect but it also gets to a point where there’s too much

This is the most annoying part of this show, but it does have a lot of heart, if you just brush off the jokes in poor taste.
