neutral · AI labelView post →I was looking forward to watching #theminiaturewife on peacock for a fun distraction from all of the world's awfulness but after suffering through ep 1, I only lasted a few min into ep 2 before I gave up. The visuals once she shrinks are fun but it seems focused on a miserable couple who just 1/

neutral · AI labelView post →The Miniature Wife cannot possibly be a real TV show. This is clearly a 30 Rock bit.

neutral · AI labelView post →‘The Miniature Wife’ looks like a TV show advertised on ‘The Running Man’.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm sorry but the Miniature Wife is a 30 Rock show
neutral · AI labelView post →I really thought the ads for The Miniature Wife were a joke, like a meta weird joke for a product they were going to sell on a spoof show. No, it's a real show. I've watched 1 episode. It's bad. #MiniatureWife
negative · AI labelView post →I was watching something on Peacock and when it ended it auto played The Miniature Wife. I would like the record to reflect that I did not watch that show.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the first episode of The Miniature Wife I wasn't thrilled with the premise to begin with but like, everyone in this show is a terrible fucking person. Just bad, bad people. Not one is remotely relatable. Is this just the norm now?
negative · AI labelView post →The Miniature Wife feels like a show that Tom Wambsgans in-universe wrote & produced & starred in
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a new size themed show out in the wild, The Miniature Wife. It’s a comedy drama about a couple trying to fix their marriage, even after the wife is accidentally shrunk down to 6 inches tall. I’ve only seen one episode so far but it looks alright.
neutral · AI labelView post →After seeing the trailer for Peacock’s new miniaturized wife series, I sought out ‘The Miniature Wife’ which I’d heard on Snap Judgement ages ago and shared it with the kid. They loved it and I think you’ll love it too www.npr.org/2015/04/24/4...
positive · AI labelView post →reading YouTube comments on the trailer for THE MINIATURE WIFE, a show where Elizabeth Banks is made small by Matthew McFayden (regular/huge). they’re either “I’m a wife and I would LOVE a huge candy bar!” or size difference fetishists arguing about whether husband or wife should be small. love it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just saw a thumbnail for a TV show called The Miniature Wife, but when I first saw it, I have misread it as The Minotaur Wife.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Miniature Wife is a show? All this time I assumed it was a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching The Miniature Wife right now and there’s been a couple of instances of animal cruelty targeted at a cat in the show. I’m sensitive to cruelty aimed at cats at the best of times but even more so lately & it’s honestly affected my enjoyment of the show, which was mediocre to begin with.
negative · AI labelView post →Why is that one TV series I keep seeing ads for called "The Miniature Wife" and not "Honey, I Shrunk You"

neutral · AI labelView post →Glad we've arrived at the point in history where a TV show called The Miniature Wife is about a tiny woman in a dollhouse, having lived through the period where a TV show called The Miniature Wife would be about a normal sized woman who is sad.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Miniature Wife is quite the show!

unlabelledView post →I'm kinda mad that there's an apparently real Peacock show called "The Miniature Wife" and they're advertising it to me.
unlabelledView post →TV series STUMBLE was really fun. THE MINIATURE WIFE is OK (I've posted about both). The new SCRUBS gets better w/each episode but is still a far cry from the original. Dramedy DYING FOR SEX was incredible. RJ DECKER and THE LOWDOWN are both very good detective series people AREN'T talking about.

First, I'm excited to be back reviewing TV at @newscientist.com, although I wish it was for a better show than Peacock's tiresome 'The Miniature Wife':
unlabelledView post →I thought The Miniature Wife was a great show overall. It's narratively a little uneven (the opening episode is especially weak, and there are some character issues) but it has excellent effects and plenty of size-warping scenarios. There's a lot of shrinking fun in there.

Also, could there be a S2? (SPOILERS): www.peacocktv.com/blog/the-min...
unlabelledView post →Just finished watching The Miniature Wife. Honey I Shrunk the Kids crossed with The War of the Roses. This was a lot of fun with some wonderful performances. Anytime Lulu Littlejohn (Sofia Rosinsky) in particular is on screen I knew I was in for a good laugh. #TVsky ★★★★★★★★☆☆ ❤️ Would Recommend

unlabelledView post →I don't mind it as much for tight story forward shows, not that more episodes wouldn't be bad in some cases, but usually 10 episodes is the right amount to tell a story. Shows they are more monster of the week, or plot of the week, like King of the Hill or Star Trek, they would benefit by having more episodes. Shows that are telling a season long story, like Severance or Only Murders in the Building, they work better with a 10 episode run. And I appreciate shows that don't stretch to fit the…

unlabelledView post →There was no way that I wasn't going to watch a show called "The Miniature Wife," but so far the show is not nearly silly enough. Or at least the weird existentialism of "The Incredible Shrinking Man."

unlabelledView post →Score: 1/10 — A Shrinking Return on Your Time Investment Why did they even make this show? That's not a rhetorical question, I genuinely want to know who looked at the script, the effects, and the premise and thought, "Yes, this is ready for public consumption." The premise has been done a bazillion times across TV shows and movies, with far more engaging storylines. But this? This is a masterclass in missed opportunities and baffling creative decisions. I'm one episode in, and nothing about…
