I wonder just exactly what it was. Age bias? Hubris of producers thinking they knew better than the audience? Consultants who think they know better than the audience? Clearly things went on a swift downhill trajectory during those last two seasons.

She seemed so full of herself during her two seasons. It's interesting that she hasn't been named as one of the individuals cast for the new version considering she seems to fall into the demographic they seemed to be looking for. Bridges burned?

I'm usually not a big fan of this but it works really well for this! I wasn't expecting much and fully anticipated watching part of the first episode and never bothering to go back...I was wrong. Really enjoying this one so far.

Dublin Murders also. She's the original Fiona Gallagher on the British (and best) Shameless. She also played Elizabeth I in The Virgin Queen. She's good at playing strong characters as well.

I suppose Erika feels she is due everything she is holding on to based upon having earned it in her role as Mrs. Girardi. She's compartmentalizing that and trying to make that a totally separate issue from where the money came from. As though her being compensated for whatever the hell she did in that role supersedes the victims of disasters receiving what they were due! She is a despicable excuse for a human being. It's surprising her glam squad can get anywhere near her head to make her up and attach those extensions considering how far how her own ass it must be.

You mean those scintillating scenes of her wandering about her kitchen and warehouse/bedroom? Yeah, won't miss that much.

Those three are all in the same boat but let's not give Kyle a pass for not only sitting in there with them but holding the rudder as well. I am anticipating that they might manipulate, downplay or even possibly outright leave out the Kathy drama in what they choose to air. Somehow it will all boil down the "Sutton did it! Two who came from nothing, got rich off a man, and seem to think that class and respect come automatically with money because there are too many people relying on that money who allow them to believe it.

I've been watching since the start. The Beverly character was always overbearing but they seem to have seriously ramped that up for the worse in the last few years, going from quirky to outright unlikeable.

How else were they going to keep all of the kids in PA and regularly at the house? It's a little too far in to have replaced Jeff Garlin with a new actor in the same role. They are playing it pretty much the only way the could that makes some sense under the circumstances.

I figured if Horgan was involved it would be okay. Not disappointed. Really liking this one after watching the first two episodes.

Gave her...bought her or is it a short term lease?

You must have blinked at the wrong (right?) time. I caught at least one.

Is dining down the chic thing to do at Beverly Hills dinner parties now? Pigs in the blanket for pass around appetizers and chicken parmigiana that looked like something my mom would have thrown together on a week night after work. It didn't look like the fare one would expect at a formal sit-down dinner attended by people in designer evening wear. I can't help but think PK was responsible for that menu. He seems like the type would would prefer basic foods to elegant and gourmet dining. PK must have gotten that dental work free in exchange for publicity otherwise I doubt he and Dorit would have willingly allow his former stained, cracked, and crooked nubs to fill the screen. Why was that nonsense about Melissa Etheridge? She comes in for one song, a few photos, and then gets shown the door? Why would she do that? I know she's touring because I was reading a concert was cancelled earlier this week because she tested positive for Covid. Yet, there was no attempt to publicize a tour that I recall hearing. PK isn't her manager either. Just strange.

Yes.

Dorinda looks like she's doing Liza Minelli cosplay in that sequin jumpsuit. Some OTT boobage on some of the others.

That's the only actual storyline he and his wife have ever had since joining the cast. One can say whatever they like about Teresa, but since the beginning she has had a variety of real stuff going on outside of merely fighting with a cast member. A pregnancy, breast augmentation, she has had storylines involving some of her children, had her husband's bad behavior exposed, issues with her parents, the cookbooks which did have a certain amount of success at one time, and of course the court case, subsequent incarcerations, and husband deported. She has brought it and had allowed herself to be exposed. It might be infamy but it's a whole lot more than what her brother and sister-in-law have brought. Without Teresa we wouldn't know they existed. She's the meat and potatoes of the show while they're just a bit of wilted parsley on the side.

Sadly, all too true. I have to say though that she doesn't look bad overall but just needed about 3 or 4 inches less height in the crown of that construction on her head. Yup! The thing is that Tre can be a monster but acknowledging that shouldn't give her brother and his wife a pass on any of the crap they have pulled. They're just better at packaging themselves. They're no more loyal to Tre than Tre is to them. There's plenty of lousy behavior to go around....here's hoping that rumors of Margaret getting less than a flattering edit in the next season are true because I feel she is long overdue. I can't believe how old she looks now. Tall too!

I know what you mean! The whole show has only gotten better with time. It's at that happy place where the writers and cast all really gel together.

That was pretty much shouted to the audience during the plane ride when Sam told her he was going to photograph the caribou for National Geographic and Liv said it was the wrong season.

Yes, a nice contradiction to some of the somewhat vacuous appearing offspring of some other housewives. This comes from raising a child to be successful rather than simply famous. I know, right! On the rare occasion that I do mention it I find myself being looked at like I am undergoing reevaluation. I think it is reeks of desperation to maintain relevance combined with some OTT acting that seems to have been influenced by some weak community theater. He seems like one of the last people who would make that kind of appearance on this kind of show. I have a guess about that. When the shit hit the fan regarding Tom I can see Sutton being concerned about how her association with Erika might land and that she might have talked to production about that. I can totally imagine a scenario where production could have manufactured that sit-down under the guise of addressing concerns with rest of the cast.

I have my doubt about her being drunk at all. It shows in the yes of everyone I have known when they've had one too many. Lisa was bright-eyed and clear spoken. Gaslighting. Gaslighting not only Sutton but more importantly the viewers because Sutton bringing those receipts revealed some things which were far from flattering.

If that's the case then it will probably play out with some phony baloney reconciliation and Melissa winding up as her maid of honor and her brother walking her down the aisle.

I am! It's just a really sweet show and I'm glad it's back.

But then there wouldn't have been an opportunity to showcase the his "acting" ability.

Wow...that is really something. Is that Diana in the upper corner and also featured in the Hurricane video? Seems to be the musical video equivalent of vanity books.
