I'm with Buntsy. While I certainly enjoyed this ep, I wanted a show about catering to be more about catering. And...
1. Didn't the Grilled Cheese moment happen about three years ago? I mean, Chicago is a good grilled cheese town, but still.
2. I can't be the only person who read Porno Wave.
3. I want to see what it takes to get that little kitchen functioning for eight more hours every day. Supplying, staffing, cleaning, delegating, the whole thing.
4. Marcus trying to sell the "chaos" of the first catering gig was unconvincing. When you take anything on the road things always get crazy during load-in.
5. I don't want things I associate with motor oil to be near my food. Ever.

Yes! "Marcus fixes people" is The Profit when it is the least entertaining and the least informative. It always pulls me out of the ep.
This isn't Marcus' fault...he is people-smart and kind and emotionally grounded. He understands how interpersonal dynamics impact businesses. But these brief "therapy sessions" out on the sidewalk with traffic whizzing by? Really weak reality tv. -
I am probably missing something, but what charities are the Flex partners? That isn't easy to find on the website. Are consumers giving to a charity or are they giving to "Military Veterans"? Trumpish Con Game! I call Trumpish Con!

What a soggy, draggy episode.
Trevor is one of the worst reality show actors I have seen in a long time. (Producers, please, good hair and a pretty face do not a reality tv character make.)
And call me the Town Grouch, but "I had a family member who died" is not a sure-fire narrative. In fact, it isn't a narrative at all.-

I remember thinking that Farrell's seemed hopelessly outdated -- back in the 70's.
Old Tyme Ice Cream Parlour is so tired...Main Street USA, right? that 1960's Disney corpse-fucking created after Walt conjured up the hazy memories of his Gilded Age childhood. And I love Disney. And I know, millions of people go to Main Street USA every year and have a Grande Olde Tyme, but that's because it is Disney. And at Disney the theme-ing is perfection.
No matter how much money gets sunk into Farrell's 2016, it is still going to be a chintzy mall ice cream shop.
And in the 21st century, do you really want a huge, goopy, super-sweet sundae where the syrup and nuts and whatnot cover up how mediocre the ice cream is? Or would you rather have one of your three favorite Ben and Jerry's flavors? Maybe I'm just not tasting the world like an 8 year old would...-

I was largely disappointed with this season.
B. J. Britt as Darius certainly didn't help matters. Darius was a well-written character. But here we had an actor who ran the gamut of emotions from A to B.-

How do you get there? Looks like it's just hanging out there in the lab. I didn't get the tree roots either but really that doesn't make sense tree roots aren't floating in space they are in dirt.
the synth pop is starting not to work for me and I'm getting tired of everyone always picking on El.
anyone else have a blonde wig hanging out at home? In 1983 12 year old girls didn't wear pink smocked dresses. She never needed a wig. They could have just said she's a cancer survivor. That's what most people would have assumed.
why would the government tattoo her? Why isn't she completely psychotic if she's ben kept in a prison and punished for not killing a cat? It's creepy and I'll keep watching it but I don't really believe it.
You're right...that heavy-looking pink dress with the smocking doesn't look 1983 at all. Which is probably why it ended up in the family costume box. Nancy got it in, say, 1977 and it has spent years getting dirty and sort of smashed-down. It worked for me: super girly to stress 11's growing sense of identity and just off enough that she stood out.

With this show renewed for three more seasons (!) it will be very interesting to see if the show is brave enough to say goodbye to beloved characters. It has to eventually, right? That's inherent in the show's DNA, that characters can cycle out and new ones cycle in. The show is feeling crowded now.
Daya, Lorna, Tuckey, Yoga Jones, Vause, Norma, Angie, Flaca. Dispensable? Who would you keep forever? (Red! Taystee!)
And what happens when the writers run out of story ideas related to the private management of the prison? -
I gave up trying to figure out why inmates were in Federal prison for what seemed like state crimes. Fictional show, fictional world, that's ok.

Sandi and Mr. Claus drove me up the fricking wall. Denial, denial, avoidance, anger, and then everything is neatly tied up with a Christmas-related bromide or a pretty little tear!
I find it significant that Sandi is using aftercare funds for organizational help. What she and her husband need is therapy.

I also don't believe that every hoarder has their hoarding incited or intensified by the death of a loved one. That is just reality tv shorthand.

Donte called Maggie his great great grandmother, right?!?
I think this is one of those African-American families where terms like auntie, cousin, and grandmother are general descriptors rather than exact terms.

I'm optimistic about Nathan. Damaged? Yes. But self-aware and alive and able to connect. Therapy time!

Celia isn't likable.
What was up with her immediate statement that she had killed the dog? Calling 911 instead of the vet? Then she immediately contradicted what the vet's office told her over the phone. Mental illness or a need to perform a bit for the cameras?
There's a lot going on there, more than her hoarding and her compulsions.

I found the interactions between Nathan, his family, and Dr. Green unconvincing. Sure, there was emotion there, but I felt as if everyone was playing a scenario precisely as situations like this are "resolved" on reality tv. It felt canned and airless.
So Nathan moved out (I'm guessing because he lost a rent-paying boyfriend/his landlord wouldn't tolerate him any more.) I wonder, statistically, who does better. Hoarders who clean up and then move vs Hoarders who clean up and then stay in their spaces.-

I love Dr Zazio so very much. However, her hair color and condition is really troubling right now.

I didn't mind the fact that there were family members missing... Sitcoms aren't designed to handle 15 characters at a time. One episode a season with everyone in it is fine for this reboot.
(Btw, I predict that those grown twins are strong enough performers to hold their own subplots.)
-
Let's face it: the production values in this Netflix production are superb. Dancing, wrestling, location shooting, animals, you name it.
Full House was always a sitcom in the Old Comedy tradition of I Love Lucy (ie, it contained literal performances within its narratives), but I never expected Fuller House to be this performative.
-
I think they filmed the baseball stuff in the Polo Grounds!
-
I'll admit it. Kimmy has always been my favorite Full House character.

I'm happy to see how effective CCB is at holding the show together.
She has a lot of screen time, has to work her way through some lame plots, and has had to deliver a lot of colorless exposition. She rarely has the best punchlines. Throughout, she has been charming!
Perhaps CCB doesn't have a Maurice Chevalier or Hayley Mills level of sparkle, but she brings a lot to the table moment-by-moment and scene-by-scene. It is a pleasure to see her at work.-

The last thing this show needs is more characters. Maybe grandparents appear in season 2.
S06.E01: House Hunt
in New Girl [V]
If no one has straight across bangs, then the show must die.
