I've only been watching the show for the past month or two so apologies if this has already been answered: Do they have family therapists waiting off stage and available after taping/airing to help these people process all the lovey dovey sentiments with missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars? Some of those families looked like they had a long awkward car ride home waiting for them in the parking lot.

Terrible car accident. I think he mentioned it in passing earlier but he explains more in one of the later episodes.

When he stomped off I was waiting for the guys to start yelling, "Security!!!!" But alas it didn't happen. Hope they arranged security for the woman he went after (Amber?/Amanda?)

Josh Sagerra (Manny) is also on The Big Door Prize as Giorgio the super star. It's a cute show and season 2 is starting soon. Lots of talent including Sagerra showing what's happening underneath the stereotypes. But I enjoyed his character. His tag alongs seem like the failing up type. Manny is outta of his depth but he seems to know this by working with people like Janine and trying to build bridges with the Barbaras. I don't want to hope too much that he turns out to be a good guy because I'm usually wrong about these things but .... Hopeful.

So much for my plans of never watching this again. My parents "taped this" on the DVR machine so we could watch it together. They remember how much I liked that Dickie guy from the movies (John Cryer as Duckie) and actually sat through Superman III in the theatre because he was in it (and Christopher Reeves because I'm not blind). Anywhooo, enough with the tales of my misspent youth. Ahem... This episode was better but that's like saying my cat did better by hacking up a hairball that only landed partially in my shoe. The cast is very talented but the writing is absolutely awful. And why is Cryer's character so obsessed with rules and Constitutions? Is he a cop? Lawyer? History teacher? Budding serial killer?

I'm not sure how this show got picked up. The script felt like something an edgy high school senior would write in a screenwriting class at the adult ed center in town. The script was written for a grading rubric - student utilized all proscribed plot points in text book, characters fit the archetypes from readings, linear development despite the characters not behaving like anyone anybody has ever met in real life, unrealistic apartment/home for city, etc. I can't imagine it getting worse but I fully believe it's possible.

I rationalized Douglas' ineptitude away. He's not an mi-5 agent but is support staff - very young fresh out of school support staff.

I didn't understand all the holes in the wall. Once is an accident, twice is recruiting the kids to help fix it/repair, and third time is a sign of a larger kid/parent problem. Maybe it's just me but the third time my brother and I put holes in the wall we'd be using our allowance to pay for the repair, making the repair, and loosing major privileges. But enough about "back in my day". Thankfully they used a patch kit to repair the walls after every "accidental" destruction. Don't know if the holes got patched immediately or if Mom waited for Dad to come back from one of his 3 months long work trips but at least that was one proactive thing they did.

They could be but normally when you have a client surrendering to the FBI you sit on them and keep them in your sights at all times. Also, why the NYC field office? Ok for Bradley cause she lives and works there but the crime and investigation is being run out of DC. Heck, if they wanted to do a quiet drop in on the FBI turn yourself in at the West Virginia field office. OR have your money lawyers arrange a meeting at their firm. Just so stupid and unrealistic

Wait, wait, wait... They ripped up a perfectly good wood floor that could have been refinished and then blended into new flooring to replace the kitchen tile/addition Only to Glue down vinyl wood look planks. I don't get it. Truly baffled. Waste of money and resources.

I really enjoyed this season and hope it gets renewed. I feel bad for Jake - poor guy is just overlooked and neglected by everyone and yet he probably knows more about what's going on in the house than anyone. And the man in the hat - has the "father" priest been targeting this family since Judith Light's first seeing him? And is he the bio dad of the now missing secret sister?

Once when my grandparents were paying. ;)

I'm catching up on the last season. Curiosity and Google led me to the Airbnb listing for the house featured in season 8 episode 4 Money Pit Mishaps: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/861378280159779503?source_impression_id=p3_1700697284_PpaEcOixDi6pHlLX&guests=1&adults=1 season 8 episode 4 Prices seem to range from $350-500 per night. Overpriced IMHO but I was raised thinking Days Inn was the swankiest of swanky.

Did they show how they "fixed" the roof access? I'm guessing they went for putting a barcade up since they kept the window covered in a mass/mess of sheers. Also if I never hear Jasmine utter the word Japandi again it will be to soon. Give me a few months and I might be ready to see a real designer implement that design style. Maybe.
