    I still hate Beth, and the Beth/Jamie relatationship.

    I missed the first 3 episodes of S1.  Starting S2 today. 

    Is the reason that Beth hates Jamie explained in the episodes I missed?  Or is that yet to be divulged?

    If I missed it, will someone kindly explain?  But don't spoil it if it's explained after S2.  Thanks.

    Maybe Mary Steenburgen could be Dan's new love interest. 

    I wish they wouldn't have named her Marcy, though.  Any time I hear the name 'Marcy', I think of Laurie Metcalf's character in Uncle Buck grinding on John Candy's leg.

    Mary Steenburgen wasn't made up like Mary Steenburgen walking the red carpet or as another, more glamorous character -- she was made up to look like a small town woman who is dealing with profound guilt, harassment and constant questioning, and who needs to be driven home.  That's not how the actor normally looks (not that there's anything wrong with that), that's how this character looks under these circumstances.

    Exactly.  For me, SHE was the mvp last night.

    Darlene's daughter is also a bit fake TV-ish. 

    Darlene has a daughter?  J/K  Last season she was a non-entity to me, and she still feels that way.  It's possible she can morph into a more 'fleshed out' Darlene 2.0 but for now, she's invisible.

    That scene had a real "All in the Family" feel to it. Raw, and real. And I think that's the best thing this show has going for it.

    I agree with you.  I could almost see the epi where Archie was on the porch having a serious talk with his granddaughter/niece/whatever, Stephanie, right after Meathead and Gloria moved to California.  Which is right when the show jumped the shark for me.

    Mostly gone was the comedy and in came the heavy-handed, badly acted social issues.  Don't want 'em in my comedy shows.  Got 'em all day, every day, everywhere else.  I hope Roseanne...er...The Conners, doesn't fall victim to the same thing.  Although, like you said, the re-boot of this feels similar to the re-boot of All in the Family's, Archie Bunker's Place.  Which was the death knell for that beloved series.

    Shitshow.  Because a dead mom always makes for a good comedy. 

    The acting was creepy.  There's a reason the actor who plays Becky quit the business after the original Roseanne folded. She's terrible, she can't act.

    I was embarrassed for Laurie Metcalf.  I wish them all well but I think the big break that Roseanne (the show AND the person) afforded them all, is over.  Except for John and Laurie.  But man, even THEY stunk up the joint last night.

    Along with no knowing if her latest short stint in rehab has worked (and from what I read it takes a lot of people more than two tries), that is a lot to have going on to have cameras following you on top of that. 

    We have no idea if the blind even refers to NY, but I doubt very much it is Beth since she has already been announced as returning. 

    Andy seemed thrilled with how well Luann looked and said she was doing on WWHL. To be honest, I would rather watch Lu deal with whatever personal stuff she's got going on then watch Bethenny's at this point. Hers just seem way heavier to me. Also, where did you see Beth announced she was coming back? I can't find any confirmation other than Radar Online's source.

    Okay I changed it to the Curb Your Enthusiasm GIF of Larry David gagging. Better?

    LOL. The Bushwacker made me nervous.

    But y'all are absolutely correct. The blind may not even be about a RHONY!  I don't watch any of the other franchises so whaddaIknow?

    Lu is the one in and out of rehab, and being sued by her ex and children. I would not call Beth's or Dorit's (unless I have missed something recent about Dorit?) personal life messy. Beth's is certainly sadder, but hardly what I would call messy which is think is the operative word.

     

     

    Lu's problems seem mostly behind her now.  Bethenny is still a red hot mess. Grieving, raising a child, the custody drama which is going to take a new turn in March, ( are they still filming in March?) And she herself says that she has too many plates in the air. Bethenny can afford to walk away, monetary-wise. Now if her ego can stand being away from a camera, that's a whole nother story.

    Andy likes Lu, and probably wouldn't want to take the paycheck away from her when he knows that she probably needs it.  We'll see!

    I hope you're wrong.   NY sucked when Bethenny was gone.  I couldn't watch.

    I think the worst thing for someone to do after losing a loved one is to stop living their life.   She can't hide from the reality that Dennis is gone and he wouldn't want her to either.    Bethenny needs to return to her regular routine.

    I don't think she'll quit living her life. But even she said she needs to let something go. And you know it's not going to be her cash cow businesses. But my biggest reason for thinking she won't be back, is I honestly can't imagine having all this crap going on in my life. My friend/boyfriend/fiance dying suddenly and then jumping through hoops filming a reality TV program. It would just be too much for a common mortal like me. In addition, I can't take a season of Bethenny being sad and crying. Too much crying.

    ETA:  I do agree though that this franchise sucked while she was gone.

    Late in life post menopausal lesbian!

    My friend from high school was married for 22 years, raised two children and once they were out of the house, divorced her spouse and remarried a woman who worked in her office. I've never known her to be happier. Switching teams happens.

    AFAICS, it happened to Cassandra Grey. Carole wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    Forget about branding, it's a bit hypocritical of Cassandra Grey to bash the word skinny - when a bug chunk of the models she uses for her products are wearing skinny jeans.

    Just to be clear, Violet Grey is not a line of beauty products formulated by Cassandra Grey. They are not her products.

    It's a clearinghouse for other brands' high-end cosmetics.

    Carole said she can't stands when people cry and then her voice was definitely breaking when she said she regrets failing at getting back together with Bethenny.

    That might have been the most entertaining part of the night for me. Carole trying with all her might, to make her voice quiver, and squeeze out a tear.  She only did that because everyone else, over the course of this three-parter, had moments of forgiveness and self-reflection. And Carole had...bitterness. She made Dorinda look warm, by comparison.

    Poor Tinsley!  It seems like copping to being her friend is a very uncool thing to do - at least according to Carol.  

    Bethenny isn't cool enough for Carole or Cassandra Grey, either. 

    Carole has clearly moved on to her latest, greatest and bestest.

    That instastory with Cassandra was some kind of preteen, bitch move, parting shot wasn't it?

    Who is Cassandra Grey to this world anyway?
