  1. I was thinking the same, as Danson, while naturally handsome, is 76 and no amount of makeup could make him look 20 years younger. I was happy that at least Susie poked fun at Larry that Sienna Miller would never be interested in him because of his age. Although I could see her going for Ted because he’s aged better. Speaking of Susie, selling caftans would be surprisingly normal for her fashion.
  2. Because I enjoy her music I can forgive the fact that she was dressed like an oven mitt.
  3. My heart broke for Jon during that revelation especially since it just happened, but it was a very sweet memorial to a dog who defied the odds and thrived for as long as he could.
  4. And have her license revoked, she was unethical from the start. Starting with the conflict of interest, taking sides, insisting on engaging socially, and then disclosing patient information to her husband. “Flip flop at a Mexican resort!” and obsession with stroking phallic produce. Talk about looking in the mirror, and realizing it ain’t pretty. I love how Irma turns the tables on him.
  5. Putting aside that everything about this storyline was just stupid, these guys are now pushing between the age ranges of 60-80 and they’re all carrying on as if they were in their 30s and 40s. And Larry thinks he has a shot with Sienna Miller. That’s when I just cringe. The sight of Leon’s uncomfortable balls was kinda funny, but I was still reminded of a similar plot from Friends or when George used nose-picking to get out of a bad relationship on Seinfeld. Tracey Ullman is still a highlight, I enjoy her miserable relationship with Larry.
  6. So I get that Susie Essman decided to go over the top with costumes this season, but I guess she extended that to her new hairdo. That’s a choice! I was at least used to the Rhea Perlman-style perm. Speaking of fashion choices, Leon sure has a lot of audacity for poking fun at that gaudy clothing store considering the ridiculous camo leggings and animal print jacket combo he was sporting as he’s pushing 60.
  7. I enjoyed the Siri frustration and seeing Tracey Ullman (I believe Irma is the woman Larry deserves). That’s where the praise ends. The episode was all too contrived and super obnoxious (more than usual) to find funny.
  8. Agree! It’s all a bit too little too late, and has ruined the legacy of the show for me.
  9. The real criminal offense was not letting Chloe complete the rest of the Cass Elliot song. The few notes we heard from her was unexpected and a welcome departure from a mediocre sketch. Edit: I rewatched it and I saw the first minute I missed out on. Now having understood why the skit focused on this song since it’s been TikTok viral kind of brings more logic to the skit. Still would’ve preferred to hear Chloe do a full cover.
  10. I’m wondering if there’s a lot more petty cash available at these types of stores that make them an easier target for robbers. Perhaps there’s a sizable proportion of customers, who due to their financial situation, aren’t eligible for charge cards nor have the luxury to be part of the cashless society, therefore they might have more cash to pay with. It’s such a sad situation for the workers. I’m also quite surprised there isn’t a lawsuit against Dollar Tree/General because of the deplorable working conditions there.
  11. I just finally saw the 2nd season finale and I challenge whether Sam and Tricia’s mom was always awful, or if there’s a possible missed diagnosis of severe mental illness or dementia that went on unnoticed. It would certainly explain her alcoholism, the lack of self care, and her unpleasant mood swings. It really wouldn’t surprise me if that is the story next season, which would be sad yet realistic. One concerning theme I’ve noticed over the last two seasons is that there’s a lot of excessive drinking with the characters, especially with Sam. It seems way above average than social drinking. That said, I enjoyed the wedding finale. It’s great to see a show that is brutally honest yet refreshing when characters actually grow and try to mend their relationships. It feels more realistic.
  12. I know it’s been discussed before, but Julie Kavner’s voice is truly shot as Marge. I actually had to turn off the episode midway because it was too distractingly painful to listen to (and seeing Marge in that awful pale skin looking like grim death didn’t help), which is a shame because I still enjoy the show. But not at the price of the voice actors.
  13. Yes it’s partly because of their similarities (which I get, there can only be one scene-stealing Queen Bee in this show) but also because Suzanne genuinely loved her family and girlfriends and their respective partners, so I think she was also looking out for them as well to ensure they had a conflict-free weekend even if hers wasn’t going well. Ultimately I think the fight between the men and the women was a dumb plot contrivance. The men acted like drooling idiots while the ladies could have been more forthright why she wasn’t a good fit, or perhaps set some serious ground rules with the men and with Ursula to mitigate their unease with her (like give her a dress code).
  14. I think his character should’ve exited at least by the time Angela was exposed for cheating on him with Dwight. He needed limited screen time, like with Gabe. Andy is probably second behind Michael as being the most cringeworthy office mate, but even less endearing. However unlike Michael, Andy actually had a lot more going for him (family money, Cornell if albeit not as booksmart as his education made him to be, is musically talented, Erin liking him, and he had some general common sense) yet he never realized it and was such a self saboteur. I can sympathize with Michael, as his bad life decisions are a consequence of being terribly stupid yet not malicious, and for Dwight because he has strong convictions and drive in spite of being nuts. Andy just kind of vacillates from one extreme to another and I never got a real sense of who he is other than being a sad sack.
  15. I’m enjoying my rediscovery of The Office lately. It definitely had its ups and downs post-Michael years but there’s still several funny moments. Plus, listening to The Office Ladies podcast with Jenna and Angela really developed my appreciation for the cast and the writing. I try not to get fixated about how it deviates quite a bit from corporate reality, but it does a good job tapping into a lot of it, as well as the awkwardness of getting to know people. Andy was my least favorite of the later cast additions. I felt the writers never knew what to do with him. This exchange was genius, Michael is an idiot sage:
