Chit Chat

She traded a short skirt for an even shorter skirt! She just pretty much stands there with that look of "how the eff did we miss that clue?" I'm hoping they'll make better use of her character and won't keep making the investigators look inept. Morgan's "abilities" are a little over the top, along with her wardrobe. :)

I think they're trying too hard to make sure that she stands out like a sore thumb for now. The outfits aren't appropriate for what will be required of the job, i.e. climbing onto roofs and into trunks...... I like the show, but they seem to be imitating Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich. There's a lot of similarities there. I don't need a carbon copy of that character. Overall, it's a decent show, so I'll stick with it.

I liked the wood floors. Those were really pretty. They seemed like a happy family. It was nice that she said he could choose the house, but he chose the one she liked best (and he seemed find with it). It was nice to see them talk it through rationally & calmly!! I would've been concerned with the 3rd house because of the cost and hearing the other dogs barking so loudly. That would be fun to be able to take a train to so many places. I would love that!

That's perfect, and for whatever reason, it's working for me! The episode moved along so quickly that, boom (literally) the episode was over. I'm along for the ride and don't have any decent theories on where this is headed, but I sure enjoy reading everyone else's thoughts on the matter!

I haven't kept up with him for years, so I'm ashamed to say that I don't recall that particular issue. I read some of the comments about it, and that's highly disappointing to learn what he did. 😒

I love his running commentary on just about everything!

I wonder how people moving to this country would define "American charm!"

Sad to hear that Brett Favre has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

That reminded me of Nathan Lane's character in The Bird Cage when Robin Williams was teaching him to appear straight for his son's future in-laws. His walk in that was hilarious too!! I love the banter between Oliver and Charles whether it's onscreen or off. They're fun to watch. I'm bummed that none of them won an Emmy for their individual performances.

There were so many funny moments in this episode, especially John McEnroe's cameo! That brought back some memories of his days on the tennis court and letting his temper get the best of him! Good to see him be in on the joke! Poor Oliver. His self-esteem took a beating in this episode. There is a lot going on in each episode, so it can be hard to keep track of everything, but I'm really liking the up tempo of the show this season. Nice to change it up from time to time. YMMV.

I think they're going after the Erin Brockovich style, sans the low cleavage. "They're called boobs, Ed." I'll give the show a try. I've never seen the main actress before, but her character seems likeable and all. Worth a try!

After seeing the writer's explanation, that's the way I see it too! It's sad if Delia & her husband are stuck there for very long. Maybe things are better wherever the Soul Train takes them!

Coach Jimmy Johnson (NFL on Fox pregame) had plenty to say about Tepper today: Johnson blasts Tepper Okay, some of the guys on the Fox pregame were praising the Bucs & Mayfield. I looked at Mr. Chat and said, "they've jinxed us," and sure enough, the Bucs laid an egg today. ☹️

The last thing I saw him on was The Devil Wears Prada. I'm not familiar with the shows you mentioned. 🙂 I'm fairly new to the streaming world and it's very overwhelming to me, so I just stick with a few shows.

Yeah, they've got to go with what works for the show. I wouldn't mind seeing 2 properties and then give the extra time at the end of the show to see how the buyers/renters are settling in, rather than the 30 seconds they show now, but that's just my curiosity and probably not something others want to see! I get that!

The realtor kind of brushed it off and said something along the lines of it not being a problem there, but I don't like feeling like I'm on display either. I can't remember if the apartment she chose had a washing machine in it (I think it did.) I'd like to see a more detailed tour of the cities these folks are moving to and see what's what as far as the practical details, i.e. what kind of grocery stores are available, and for those without washer/dryers in their apartment, are there laundromats easily available, or do you take your clothes to the dry cleaners? Are there medical facilities close by? The list goes on..... Most of these people seem to be moving for the "charm" of it all, but I need to know details on how a particular area is going to impact my daily life. Charm only gets you so far.

Gravey doing her best Glenn Close impersonation: "I am not going to be IGNORED Howard!!" 😄

Thanks!! I forgot about that role! I haven't seen him in anything else since then, but I don't watch a lot of movies, so I probably missed him somewhere along the way.

That thought crossed my mind to when she wrote 'victim' on their board. As she was cleaning up the office and dancing around, that reminded me of Katie Holmes' character in the movie Mad Money. Her character in general reminds me of Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich. I feel like that's kind of the image they're going for: A smart, down-on-her-luck woman with 3 kids, whose neighbor watches said kids, suddenly one-ups all of the professionals with no legal background whatsoever and solves a murder! I'm curious if that was a thing back then, but one thing I've heard about, is that cemeteries face east because the belief is that when Christ returns, it will be from the East and the dead will rise to meet him. ( Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.) Not sure if that would be the reason a church would be facing east too, but I know of many churches not facing that way. I've seen many cemeteries facing east though, so I think that's accurate. I'll give this show a chance. It's great to see Judy Reyes again. It was driving me nuts trying to remember where I've seen the male detective (Daniel Sunjata), and then I realized he was once on an episode of Sex and the City. He played a sailor.

I was curious about that too. I think there might've been enough room in there where she could've put a nice trundle bed in front of that closed cabinet, then it could be for seating and then sleeping. I've seen some very nice, modern trundle beds that look more like a sofa. I would prefer that over pulling the big sofa out every night.

I'm wondering if she had a bad experience along the way and just feels safer on an upper floor. I would prefer that myself. The realtor kept saying that privacy isn't an issue there, so maybe they're not worried about peeping Toms! She commented on how us Americans live in our own bubble. I resemble that remark and am just fine in my little bubble!! 😜 I think she's the first buyer/renter to have ever said 'I don't really care about a big kitchen!' That was refreshing! No griping about how she was going to fit 50 people in her apartment & kitchen while she entertains! Of course, another scenario where the HH has what they think is a decent budget, just to be told, 'Oh, no! That's going to be tough!' The buyer/renter's budget is rarely enough!

Your posts came to mind when I saw this episode. I thought, Yeah No is on to something!!

I think it's a fun idea! Let's see what Hammy Faye thinks, oink, oink! 🐷 I liked the episode. There's so much going on that I'll probably have to watch it again just to absorb it all and rethink my own theories! If the Westie's story is true, I'm glad that part of the mystery is solved. On to the next chapter of the story! If Mabel can get that apartment for $200/month, then I guess she'll have gotten it for a bag of beans!

I read an article by the writers, and here's what they said about the ending: (Obviously, spoilers!!) Writer's explanation

Hello fellow Buc's fan! We were worried when Vita Vea left the game with a knee injury, but luckily the defense didn't fall apart, and they came away with the win. I'd like to see the Lions have some success, but not when they're facing the Bucs! 😉 I posted a link earlier about Coach Saban talking about Tua and his work ethic. He said that Tua & his family need to take their advice from the medical professionals and not everyone else. He said that Tua is a tough competitor and always wants to see a play followed through. Coach said that Tua probably should've slid before getting tackled, but it's just the type of competitor that he is. He spoke about how much he likes Tua & his family, and what a nice person Tua is. Maybe Tua will need to learn to slide better and can come to terms with doing that rather than extending a play & risking injury (when possible). Bama nation loves Tua, and we all wish him well! Same goes for all of our Bama turned NFL players!
