A few years ago, I was invited to attend a "Jewish women" event in my city, which I was excited about. I live nowhere near NY, LA, Chicago, etc., so I was excited to go.
The first thing I noticed was.....everyone had a wig. Every.One. Except me. That was when I knew it was not just a "Jewish women" event, but "Jewish ORTHODOX women".
Who knew my city had such a large contingent of Orthodox?
They were super nice to me, but it's just not me. The Rabbi & his wife, who headed up the event, both sent me friend requests, and I continued to get emails. Sort of like....come....join us....lol.
Only the married women (or women who had previously been married) would be wearing wigs, so it appears there were no single women there.

That said, if this is her profession, I need to see a couple where the matchmaking has worked---a couple who's engaged or about to be married.
On 5/29/2023 at 11:44 AM, Scarlett45 said:I understand what you’re saying, and I agree. But I wonder if individuals really committed to finding a long term partner are less likely to sign up for the reality tv? For a while I was deep in the 90day universe and one couple who seemed interesting and I’d really like to see navigate newlywed life (Avery & Omar from the 1st season of 90Day the Other Way) only did the one season and said “nope! One season and the money was enough for us.”(they do have a public Instagram).
Im sure some of the participants are genuine, but reality tv attracts fame whores like nothing else!
Yes! I admit to a bias, but I have trouble having much respect for most people who would go on a television dating show; this show is not nearly as bad as The Bachelor (which I cannot bear to watch), but for many of these singles, the same personality traits that allow them to make fools of themselves on television, are clearly the reasons why they haven't found "the one." Some of them are definitely more excited about being on television then about finding a spouse.
Aleeza mentioned how many matches she'd made in "real life", and I believe it was a few hundred. These are likely all religious couples, the vast majority of whom would have no interest in being filmed for television.

Hopefully, they have a script or two completed, so they can start shooting as usual.
They can't shoot without the writers. Rewrites/adjustments are constantly needed. And showrunners are also writers.
Plus, the actors would never cross the picket lines, and I doubt the crew would, either.

BTW, I understand that Sam doesn't know how to bake, but when the directions called for oil, and she used Pam, the bottle of oil was right there. She obviously got it out of the cupboard, so why didn't she use it?
Yeah, they drew our attention to it.
She also could have easily looked up how to achieve room temperature butter fairly quickly (cut it into chunks), but she needed Joel to hold her hand. She doesn't make friends easily, but once she opens up to someone, she expects to be the center of their world. That's the real reason Joel didn't want to tell her about Brad. She is not a good sharer.

I'm not surprised Missy still snuck out of the house. Being grounded for the summer is a long time to not go out.
Having Mandy and CeeCee living in Sheldon's room for the summer will provide a chance for Missy to spend more time with an understanding big "sister" as well as the chance to possibly babysit (especially since Connie won't be as available and Mary is not available at all.) Both would be good for Missy.

I'm thinking that the train table will need to be shoved over, if there's room to shove it, to make space for CeeCee's crib. Which will have to be new, because all of Mandy and CeeCee's stuff is probably gone except what was in the diaper bag.

Agreed. I don't believe he's off for 3 whole months. Wouldn't HS football practice start sometime in August? And I agree that Mary's paycheck must be pretty small for them to easily forgo it for the summer. (Although I suppose the money that was raised might cover her and Sheldon's meals for the summer, but still....)

Mary has really loosened up, ordering them to wait until she gets back to get married. In the past, she would have just wanted them to get it done.

Except that we know from Sheldon's voice over that she still snuck out more than 30 times over the summer, so... not sure if the epiphany lasted.
I agree, but I'm not sure how he would have found that out-unless Missy told him about it when they grew up.
1 hour ago, possibilities said:And frankly-- she was smoking, and she had stolen the truck once already, it's not like he didn't have any reason to actually be worried.
I thought he would remind Missy how worried she had been about Paige, so that at least she would understand why he was concerned about her.

An article reasoning why it had to be Nigel who was sucked off (warning: 2nd half of article has a spoiler for the 4th season of the British version concerning which character got sucked off there, but it is not a character who corresponds to anyone in the US show, so only a spoiler for the UK edition): https://collider.com/ghosts-season-2-who-got-sucked-off/#:~:text=While Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) hoped,...departing to heaven.

or b) Meemaw and Georgie give up some of the profits from the illegal casino.
I think that they would think that money is better spent on supporting Mandy and the baby. Neither of them is desperate to get rid of Sheldon, nor overly interested in his graduate school application success. Plus, they had just been robbed.

I never would have known the episodes weren't shown in their intended order. Do you know (or have a link to) the original order? Nothing ever seemed out of place for me.
http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/not-dead-yet/listings/
If shown in its original order, the last 2 episodes would have been Not Well Yet and Not Scattered Yet. If Not Well Yet had been shown after this episode, it would have been pretty clear that Nell and Edward's hug in this episode did not lead to romance. And they probably intended Not Scattered Yet to be the finale because Cricket gets closure when she scatters Monty's ashes, and we thus would get to see Martin Mull in both the first and last episodes of the show. Instead, they decided to give Nell closure with Phillip in the finale. I think it was a good choice. (I haven't analyzed the earlier episodes to see what differences the original order would have made.)

Though, if they've been calling all day to find a placement, I wonder why the guys were so low on the list that they got called so late.
Maybe because they have zero experience, and it's 2 kids. Some of the other couples or singles may have fostered before, perhaps even more than one child at a time.

I thought that since she hadn't really been away from the baby much at all since giving birth, that she might not have been thinking about it, because she was used to nursing on demand.
But Mandy and Ceecee were separated for hours the day before the interview. She would have leaked then, unless she was wearing pads.
On 5/10/2023 at 7:47 PM, Bethany said:Did others get the impression that the weathergirl opportunity was going to lead to a job? I admit I thought it was just a one off thing when I saw the episode but now I'm wondering. Surely they didn't set the whole thing up just so they'd have an excuse for Mandy to have leak issues?
I think that opportunity is gone. She can't tell them what happened; they're not going to want to hire someone whose baby might impact her ability to work in any way. I doubt Mandy would have even got the interview if she had mentioned having a baby, even before the leaking incident.

That's going to be some king-sized bed for $10,000. Maybe it will have some gold-leaf on it (and I hope that Sam accounts for taxes before determining Isaac's actual share, as the IRS won't be going after him.)

Also love how Hetty and Alberta were able to resolve their issues. The ghost court was a great idea, and I love the new roommate setup for everyone (Flower: "I'm gonna braid your hair while you sleep!" XD).
32 minutes ago, phalange said:Hetty and Flower as roommates will be hilarious, though. Hetty will definitely wake up with her hair braided one day lol.
Would be kind of interesting to see Hetty with a different hairstyle, if that's possible.
We know that Alberta's real hair is already braided under her wig. I wonder if Flower attempted to braid her wig.
32 minutes ago, phalange said:Though I doubt Sam would give up an entire guest room, because I think they only have like four to begin with.
Yes, sufficient space has always been a problem.
32 minutes ago, phalange said:I had a feeling that lawyer was up to something.
I know that Sam and Jay won't do it, but Dan really needs to be reported to the State Bar for punishment. A lawyer with a gambling problem probably has attempted other criminal acts.

Same! It’s not like the congregation finds Sheldon as annoying as the faculty do. Plus, why would they reward an avowed atheist with donations?
Plus, I can’t see any parent allowing their 13-year-old to go to Europe unchaperoned. He’s hyper intelligent, but he’s not exactly mature. And he’s definitely under-savvy.
Agree with the first part.
I don't think Sheldon is going alone. Professor Linkletter's plus the faculty contribution must have been enough for Sheldon alone (Linkletter would have known how much needed to be raised), which is why the show had to have the congregation donate extra, even though I agree it doesn't really make sense. That extra will likely be enough for Mary to manage going with Sheldon, even though the family will lose her income for a few months (wonder if Brenda will be able to hire a temporary bookkeeper, so that Mary's job will still be available when she returns.) And I hope Brenda is true to her word about not pursuing George (and vice-versa) while Mary is gone.

I am unreasonably bothered by the fact that Ben didn’t bring out any forks with the dinner plates when he brought Mark dinner. Napkins either (hello! pot pie crust will leave crumbs), but I kept looking for the forks. Why yes, I am borderline OCD. How did you guess? 😂
Ben took forks out of the drawer and put them on the plates and then brought them into the living room. You are correct about the napkins, which I also noticed.
On 5/4/2023 at 7:43 PM, mythoughtis said:so no room for Mark and no kitchen table?
They have a kitchen table. Becky mopped it in a previous episode. Ben was trying to coax Mark out from his window seat into the living room to eat, not into the kitchen where Darlene was.

Both Abishola and Dele are stupid to think that Dele can and should only apply to Harvard. It is a difficult school to get in and expensive. You think he would have some backups -- Ivy league and non ivy league. Plus there are some prestigious school that are not ivy league that would be also good to apply to.
The Ivy League does not give merit scholarships, and Bob's and Abishola's combined incomes may mean that they have to pay the full cost of a Harvard education. On the other hand, there are some fairly competitive universities that do give merit scholarships, which Dele would have a good chance of winning. He should apply to various schools (and certainly a "safety" school or 2), see which accept him, and then decide. After all, medical school is going to be even more expensive.
Did Bob leave school without his degree when his father died and he had to work for the company? Maybe that's what he should do at some point-try to finish his degree.

I would like to see more episodes that show past incidents at the mansion, and what each of the ghosts was doing at the time.
And how each new ghost was welcomed into the fold. Did any react badly at being dead, or at being a ghost? Were any in shock? Did they curse any deities, or pray to them?
On 5/6/2023 at 11:40 AM, ajsnaves said:This would have been a perfect time to introduce a new ghost who had been sucked off by the present day. We know they exist, since the other ghosts know about it happening.
A great idea.
On 5/5/2023 at 2:03 PM, Annber03 said:That was another thing I liked about seeing where all the older ghosts were at that party - so many interesting little side stories one could explore about what they were up to or planning to do that night, what stuff they observed outside of everything with Alberta's death.
This, too, for other past events
And future flashbacks (an oxymoron?) would be a great opportunity for guest stars who would like the opportunity to play a ghost for a single episode.
For example, Mark Hamill is a big fan of Ghosts, just as he is of What We Do in the Shadows (a great show about kooky vampires), where he guest starred as an equally distinctive vampire in one episode.

On 5/5/2023 at 2:03 PM, Annber03 said:I think a lot of her anger towards Hetty is due to the fact that for decades now, Hetty's had this information on hand, and yet anytime the topic of Alberta's death came up, Hetty just kept telling her, "No, you're wrong about how you died" over and over again. Even if Alberta may understand why Hetty kept the secret for so long, there's keeping a secret, and then there's insisting that she's wrong about how she really died when Hetty knows full well she's not wrong. Keep the secret, she's got her reasons, okay, fine, but don't try and make your friend doubt her understanding of how things really are. I can absolutely see that being the real sore spot here for Alberta, the thing that bothers her most about Hetty's behavior.
They could have had Alberta be particularly outraged at Hetty because she had assumed that not knowing how she had died was what had prevented her from being sucked off all these years, a situation that was in Hetty's power to rectify. (Since Alberta now knows and is still here, it might seem that that wasn't true, but maybe it's her unfinished business with Hetty that's keeping her tethered.)

The email wasn't connected to any monetary stuff. They went into the bank account and likely tried to send a wire transfer straight from the account. Sam and Jay need a stronger password and 2-step verification, at the very least.
