If there’s any news that calls for an extended and intensely awkward celebratory church potluck, it’s the news that ABC has given The Real O’Neals a second season. The first kicked off Noah Galvin’s character coming out to his Catholic parents and Martha Plimpton and Jay R. Ferguson announcing that they’re getting a divorce. To top that, the second season needs to get even more real: Maybe there’ll be lawsuits, criminal conspiracies, or even a few meth labs … oh wait, that’s just Breaking Bad.
