Faced with this New England rage, ABC flinched, and on Tuesday issued a statement saying American Housewife will stop making fun of Norwalk.
American Housewife is set in wealthy Westport, Conn., and has often made jokes about nearby Norwalk, which is wealthy but not as wealthy.
Producers of ABC’s sitcom American Housewife have agreed to stop making jokes at the expense of Norwalk, Conn. after outraged Norwalkers complained, the New York Daily News reports.
According to American Housewife, people from Norwalk are unintelligent and unhygienic.
