I haven't seen new one yet, I usually watch it later and it's not on my "on demand" . I did find this looking for it online. A blooper tape: https://www.hgtv.com/shows/my-lottery-dream-home

I was listening to the song "Hold your head up High" on a TIU video and noticed as Randall is walking to Rebecca's room, a wall of cuckoo clocks. Not much to say about that but maybe someone will like them in future shows. : ) I also heard but realized more so this time, Toby had never seen Kevin's place before. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc1oUaI2fYj9PdcH70KFLCA

It seem like the show is pushing Nurse Crane with the cop although I don't feel anything in their acting of "chemistry" yet. I wonder what happened with the gentleman from the language class who had a wife with severe dementia. (same plot on Grace and Frankie) Did they stay friends, will his wife pass away in the future? They seemed like a cute couple with a lot in common. On Grace and Frankie, the character felt like she was cheating, the wife was still alive, and she wouldn't like that done to her, so they parted. Two years later she learns he has passed away, and I hope that doesn't happen here! I hope they show that even if you are older, you can still find love like Fred did.

Kind of a cool thing, I wish I could visit but in states. I would love merchandise, a mug or magnet, but that doesn't seem to be here either. The boardgame I have seen is not something I'd purchase but some fans will like it. https://thedockyard.co.uk/whats-on/call-the-midwife-location-tours/

It depends what they want I think. One night I remember looking up TIU interviews, and although most sounding the same, they did say Fogleman would tell them what they wanted to know. Some wanted to know more. Mandy knew how the whole timeline went, but Kate made it sound like she was clueless. Justin said he was "curious" in one interview, another, he knew. What I think they don't know is how exactly it happens. They need to have a little leeway to change things. I wonder if Kevin gets into an accident from drinking. We know he has money and some awards in hallway, but was it one good movie or a series of shows and he felt his absence was significant. Not that he gets hurt then, but why did they not show a picture or him coming in. I just assumed they didn't want to age too many of them, leave that until later. I'm sure he'll still be handsome and able to take care of his mom and son, but he hit bottom again. I will love to see how Nicky came back into his life and if his empathy helps both of them.

Me too and Monica Joan. Even watching the actress out of costume on a talk show, she had the same presence to me and calming voice. I love her. Very classy person it seems and I hope in the rotation, she has more air time soon. Trixie hasn't had as much either, I think they try to highlight everyone a little each week.

Sorry, Justin...I was thinking of a Jason and didn't realize I wrote it. ; )

I can watch season 8 for free on PBS but paid 1.99 for Xmas special on Amazon Prime because it wasn't really a stand-alone special, it seemed to feed into the new season. I did enjoy it.

So did I!, Hate bullies of any kind. I also liked the rose bush and intention and showing Miss Higgins other side. I also thought that showing the kids a photo was a good idea. I feel the adoption part was just an overwhelmed mother and Sister Julianne knew that. This wasn't something that would continue forever but very overwhelming now with little help. That she thought it might not be wrong to do it (or even legal?) without the husband there, a little odd.

I remember when game shows were a hot item and my mom told me how some winners on Price is Right etc couldn't afford to keep all the items they won. Same reasons, you "won" the car but can't take it until you pay taxes on it and then it's getting it to your home and paying property taxes later, etc. They were usually $$$ cars too. When Oprah gave cars away 14 years ago, she paid registration and sales tax but there was a gift tax (so many taxes) they had to pay. An article said: https://www.motor1.com/features/132327/oprah-car-giveaway-didnt-know/1744567/ pg 6 said : 6. Most expenses were paid by the show, but not all The Oprah Winfrey Show paid the sales tax and registration for each car, but not the gift tax, which could be up to $7,000 for some audience members. While the show did offer a cash prize for those who didn’t want to or couldn’t pay the gift tax, some audience members complained to the press, which devastated the producers.

Justin said in one of his many interviews for his next movie, that there was a reason why Kevin wasn't shown. His travels to get where he is (he did note trophies etc in hallway) were not a smooth road. How did it change him, what happened? He said, "there is a reason he isn't shown yet" Made me wonder, he must be okay enough to go out and get food, have a kid, etc but did he change physically in some way? Guess we will have to wait and see. Justin has the most trouble keeping quiet, he was pretty good overall, but in the past would tell lies just to say something. Mandy said no Alzheimer's and then was told it seems to not say that either. It doesn't really matter, like what killed Jack, but Fogleman likes the speculation because it helps keep interest over the break. I'm glad Nicky is back and Kevin is okay and sober and the trip to that will be a good ride for me. The other stuff, not as much.

Just watched first one, had me laughing out loud. Thanks for the recommendation.

This was cute too, re the ice skating bit: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=275384776684574

I enjoyed this, thanks! I wonder what Kevin meant by "there is a reason you don't see him". Hmmmm

I agree with your idea of just being friends and maybe living with Kevin. I'm sure he sobered up about the same time (maybe in part with him?) and might have lived with him for a while. When Kevin finally made it, (he had what looked like awards in the hall going to Rebecca's room) he might have bought him a better home. Either way, I loved them together and am so glad they worked out a contract. Randall and Beth were never in danger to me, even after the VM because they both kept saying so off air, and the baby also. When you know it's going to be okay, the drama lessens. That is why showing us the end is deflating in you know certain things but just not how. I'm okay with that but the only one I cared about I know the most about. Kevin makes it, he is a dad with a cute "kevin-like" son and Nicky got a second albeit late chance on life. We know Rebecca dies the same as Jack, but again, it's just how. Does her illness really matter anymore than what appliance killed Jack? Does it really matter who Kevin was with or if he adopted. I'll enjoy the ride but will never be in love with future shots.
