I’m overthinking this, but does the sale of the store lead to the divorce? A family business being sold outside of the family can cause dissension. It certainly isn’t the only reason, but it would start to explain why the ever amenable Georgie can’t make the best of a situation.

Mork and Mindy is still frustrating, 40 years later!

Dan’s line about Batman and Sylvia Plath not knowing who Gene Hackman was seems eerie given recent news. Any idea when this episode was filmed?

I’m with the jury on this one. While the roommate looks suspicious, the report of the Running Man hasn’t been explained. The guy who claims he was jogging may or may not be the same. Why didn’t the people who claimed they heard a confession tell anyone about it before the media was involved? There are many stories of bystanders inserting themselves; this seems to be another example.

If the price of one spa day equals the take home pay of one week of waitressing, how relaxing is it? When I’ve had to make those choices earlier in life, I didn’t follow Mandy’s example. I’m still poor, but I have zero debt. What little money earned is entirely mine: no finance company gets a penny. I don’t have the knowledge to compare that feeling with a spa day experience, but my stress levels are low. Enough “one-day” indulgences mean 2 weeks in Paris will NEVER be an option

But applying the TV money towards the debt means she could be free from the exhausting job sooner. Not even one day sooner, but at least weeks - if not months. One spa day or (at least) one week off a physically demanding job: which is more relaxing?

Thank you! There are those who fear debt (that’s me) and those who are way too comfortable with it. If I were in Mandy’s position, I’d not only pay down my debt with the money, but I’d sell the diamond earrings (which was an even worse financial move (where was Jim’s indignation at that?)) and look to take up more hours at the diner. This may sound overdramatic to those who are comfortable with debt, but interest will take more of a toll than a spa day can offer in respite. To me, it boggles the mind to spend tomorrow’s income on last week’s comforts. That is the most vicious cycle I can imagine.

Has this show been renewed for season2?

. The thing that made me completely dismiss her alibi is that no woman traveling alone is going to sleep in her car overnight on the side of the road with no cell service because she wants to go driving in the mountains. Especially since it appeared her car was just a sedan. To counter this argument, in my younger days when driving across states, I did sleep in my sedan in rest areas/ Walmart parking lots when traveling alone and unable to find a hotel with a coupon. Remember the paper books with walk-in rates that were organized by highway exit? I was young, poor and unafraid/cheap/dumb. This isn’t an argument for innocence, but proof that people can have even less sense than you’d think.

I’m late catching up, but the Mary Yoder case is tragic. Conley is out not because of new evidence of innocence, but because the police only had a warrant to take her phone and not look at it (?????) Mary’s sisters hate Bill more than they love Mary. Her killer WAS in prison, but they are so blinded by 40+ years of disgust that they have lost all objectivity. people can be a**h0les and still not be guilty of murder. And, even with a $400k inheritance, Mary would still be needed as the sole breadwinner. $400k is a lot of money, but that would be living on $50K for 8 years. Where would the money come for years 9 and beyond?

But that’s just it: she handles hundreds of documents each day, when not dealing with real estate requests. What about this one stood out?

I don’t see how the redditor could even know who took the documents out. Maybe there will be an explanation, but even if she saw later that this particular folder of documents (one of hundreds of folders in at least dozens of boxes) was missing, how would she know a) the importance of this one document and 2) that only the key figures could have removed the document? This is a bigger than usual suspension of disbelief. Maybe the conclusion will be worthwhile, but that remains to be seen.

With few exceptions, the cast breaking into song is usually a death rattle.

Blythe Danner played Martha Jefferson. In a Hollywood twist, Gwyneth Paltrow played daughter Patsy Jefferson in the movie Jefferson in Paris. Virginia Vestoff was Abigail Adams. This is a favorite of mine, too. Thanks for the link.

So Marty has a polygraph at home, can create fake online news stories, but didn’t create a fake LinkedIn account to cyber stalk Shae? My disbelief can only be suspended for so long…..
