Jeff’s a habitual philandering unethical sleaze bag and Susie is a complete psycho. They’re a perfect match made in hell. The only reasons they’ve stayed with each other is out of convenience and because of Jeff’s fear of Susie. Exhibit A:

I disliked the last two seasons due to the nonsensical writing and Larry become a caricature. But the ending was thankfully very satisfying, especially the final scene on the plane. Ending as it started—everyone arguing. And yet so many unanswered questions from the season and in the episode: I’m surprised Susie would even agree to commit perjury and a potential felony by pretending to be Larry’s wheelchaired lover in court. Leon comforting Larry that he’ll watch over “our house” was a flex! Is Jerry Seinfeld really the true love of Larry’s life? I’ll never look at Cheryl the same knowing .

Ooof! Who knew that portraying the wife of a social assassin would prepare her for the real thing? That verbal altercation between Larry and Susie looked the most toxic and acrimonious out of all their fights. Other times they fight and then pretend like it never happened but this seemed pretty hateful, which I guess is supposed to foreshadow the final episode. This was one of the better episodes, for me, on what has been, again, a mediocre season.

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.

Because I enjoy her music I can forgive the fact that she was dressed like an oven mitt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agree! It’s all a bit too little too late, and has ruined the legacy of the show for me.

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.

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.

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.

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.
