And while the family makes plenty of jokes about Elena’s nerdy interests, they never judge her for who she is and who she loves. So often when nerds (and especially nerd girls) are portrayed in film and television, they are often the butt of the joke.

I’m not a fan of the traditional three-camera sitcom, which its pat jokes and saccharine special episodes. 2017 Maturity rating: AL 3 Seasons Comedies. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure if ODAAT would be my thing. They’re joined by goofy but well-meaning building owner Schneider (Todd Grinnell) and Penelope’s nebbish boss Leslie (Stephen Toblowsky). Penelope is joined by her flamboyant mother Lydia (the iconic Rita Moreno) and her kids, queer teen activist Elena (Isabella Gomez) and her immature younger brother Alex (Marcel Ruiz).
