The Real O'Neals was an ABC sitcom than ran for two seasons from 2016-2017. The close-knit, Chicago-based O'Neals seem to be the perfect Catholic family, but when surprising truths come to light, some lives take an unexpected turn. The middle son Kenny comes out as gay, and his parents Eileen and Pat are getting a divorce. The show deals with the fallout from these decisions, as well as the shenanigans of Kenny's two siblings Jimmy and Shannon. | |

The Twink: Kenny fits the type in age and inexperience, but since he's still underage and is more awkward than naïve, he's still not a full-blown example. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| The Real O'Neals / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: When Kenny comes out, most of his friends and family members are supportive, and he doesn't face a lot of challenges for it. When Allison is introduced in Season 2, it's pointed out that since she comes from a fairly conservative Asian family, she doesn't have any guarantee that coming out to her parents would work out nearly as well as it did for Kenny. The reality is, as far as the LGBTQ community has come in the United States, homophobia is still very much alive. In another episode, Kenny joins the wrestling team in order to help Jimmy out, and ends up winning matches and gaining praise and accolades from the school. Everything is going well until a student from the rival wrestling team refuses to wrestle Kenny because he's gay, Kenny has to point this out to Jimmy. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| The Real O'Neals / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The revelation that Jimmy is struggling with anorexia is seemingly dropped after the first few episodes without any real resolution. This is probably deceptive because eating disorders tend to be very secretive and have a lot of ups and downs. Jimmy obviously still is quite obsessive with food. | |

Transparent Closet: Kenny. In retrospect a lot of the other characters realize this is true. There is also Obviously Gay Stuart, another student at Kenny's Catholic high school that is even deeper in the closet (until the end of season 1). | |

Middle Child Syndrome | |
| The Real O'Neals / int_83a30cd3 | comment |
Middle Child Syndrome: Inverted, before he came out, Kenny was the favourite child and seems to be the most normal of the bunch, with Jimmy not being too smart and Shannon being somewhat strange. There are some times where this comes into play, though Kenny seems to find these points a time of relief. | |

Real Fake Wedding: A variant occurs in the episode where Kenny gets cast as the lead in his school's production of Romeo and Juliet. Eileen gets too into planning the wedding scene of the play, making it seem like a real wedding. When Kenny confronts her about it, she says it's because he'll never have a traditional wedding like she always dreamed of. | |

Prom Is for Straight Kids: Averted. Kenny is prepared to fight for his right to take a male date to Prom at his school, but finds that they've already discussed and approved it much earlier. The problem then shifts to the fact that Kenny is the only gay kid at the school, which means he doesn't actually have a guy to take in the first place. | |
