The Mount Cashel scandal? They're tackling that in a comedy? Holy crap. That aside, my husband and I are rolling at how funny this show is!

I've only seen the first three episodes but I'm loving this new take. They've done a tremendous job with reimagining the characters. The guy playing Will is fantastic - that's the one portrayal this series would have swum or sunk on, and the young man is really nailing how the character felt in the original series without going overboard into copying Will Smith the actor. I get the "Carlton is an asshole" comments - and he is - but I can see where his feelings and poor choices are coming from too, which I appreciate. He's terrified he's the Salieri to Will's Mozart, although he'd probably swear up to his eyeballs that this wasn't the case. I feel like I've seen the actress playing Hilary before, but I can't place her. I'll look her up to see if I recognize anything.

My husband and I just found this show on Netflix and we’re loving it! Starting the second season now, but I wanted to ask: we’re there no forum topics for the first season? I searched here and in the “Other Comedies” forum but couldn’t find anything. Thanks!

One of the things I love most about Bob and Abishola is how they are not the typical hot 20/30-something romance that you usually see in comedy. There’s a reserve and dignity in Abishola that is unusual and refreshing and makes it even all the more wonderful when the actress gives you a glimpse beyond that exterior. I don’t wonder Bob is bowled over by her, I am too. And Billy E. usually plays loud brash characters, so it’s a treat to watch him play someone more quiet and refined. (Larger men usually get typecast in that role so I appreciate he gets to be a well-dressed and successful businessman too.) It’s precisely the low-key nature of their relationship that makes them intriguing, for me.

Late to this party, but I love the show and I'm thrilled it's renewed!

Well I for one am really glad we saw that shoulder-grab at the end, because hand to God otherwise I wouldn’t see how Randall and Kevin could come back from that. Those were some *brutal* words spoken. And it was so *quiet* - no real flying off the handle. That’s how you know they meant it. Damn. Still worried for Kate. For a minute there I thought she was going to die trying to have another baby and I was ready to condemn Toby up in heaps. I really, really need this show to make Miguel less of an afterthought. I liked how Random Doctor with the horse and child was the catalyst for Madison telling Kevin. Such are the thin threads that weave our lives together. Really hope Kevin gets a love story besides his kids, though; I’d be fine with Madison. (Maybe it was the upside down thingy that got you pregnant, girl! That sounded pretty miraculous to me!)

Yep, it's the one thing preventing Dicken's timeless Christmas classic from achieving perfection: the lack of gratutiously nude sex scenes.

So create one! "Memorable Dialogue: The Good, The Bad and the Repetitious". Personally I love stylized dialogue. Want your characters to speak in iambic pentameter? Long beautifully emoted monologues? Bursts of staccato rhythm? Go for it! If I wanted to hear everyday speech I'd just go to a public forum and eavesdrop. If I'm watching comedy or drama or genre I want to experience the wonderful breadth and depth of the spoken word. Show me what you got, writers!

I thought Bob and Abishola had some heat in that bench kiss. The last three episodes have gotten me really interested in this show and in their outcome.

As someone who hated the Pink Pestilence and thought she'd never be able to watch Kristin Kreuk in another role: I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I've enjoyed her since her Lana Lang days. Between different showrunners and a more seasoned actor, I wouldn't run screaming away from the crossover now like I would have done then if they ever announce KK's involvement.

I was happy with M&C, but I gotta tell ya: I was waaaay more into Pete this go around. I'd have followed Jon Favreau around like a puppy.

I am watching Friends episodes on Netflix before going to sleep. Just rewatched the Season 3 finale, and: 1) Rachel was an asshole for manipulating Bonnie into shaving her head, but 2) she still did Bonnie a favour because Ross was an asshole about it too.

Picard's brother and nephew died in a fire on the vineyard, so I think having a different Picard home fits right in.

LaMonica Garrett is truly a breathtakingly beautiful man. I'd be casting him as every god or celestial being I could think of.

You are correct. I am on vacation and have lost track of the days....
