  1. I agree. Even in the world of this show, Paige is pretty much Sheldon's intellectual equal and has much better social skills. We saw that Paige had no trouble getting along with Missy with little to no adult intervention. Paige behaved pretty well when Missy invited her to sleep over.
  2. I agree with you on that is Sheldon's current reality, but I'm not sure how much of that Mary knows or is aware of. From Mary's perspective, in a regular classroom, he is interacting with other people and she thinks that is important for him. It would be great for George to explain to Mary what is really happening, like none of the teachers reporting him absent because they were happy he wasn't in class.
  3. I thought she meant how to behave around people. There are some social skills that can be learned in a regular classroom: waiting until someone is done to raise your hand to talk, listening to what the other person says and how to respond to them, plus other stuff. There is human interaction occuring, and I thought that's the kind Mary was talking about.
  4. I liked Wendy taking the phone call at the end. I'm hoping they make this a fun storyline for her. She keeps getting calls from a man no one sees in real life. They think it's fake boyfriend, but after multiple episodes find out he is real.
  5. My understanding was that Chidi asked to have his memory wiped so he would not remember anything that happened after the moment he died. Chidi met Simone when everyone was saved and didn't die. This is a different timeline for Chidi. It's like the first Back to the Future movie. Marty and Doc (in this case, Eleanor, Jason, Tahani) remember the original timeline and how/why things are different this time around while George and Lorraine (Chidi) do not.
  6. Most of the Royal Downstairs staff served as the villian.
  7. I've thought for a while that one day, decades from now, Jamie is going to become Police Commissioner. I can't believe I'm just noticing it now, but Jamie looks a little like Henry. I could believe that the two of them are related.
  8. The first time I remember feeling some type of romantic attraction as a little kid was either Kit Cloudkicker on TaleSpin, or Robin Hood in the the animated Disney Robin Hood. (and I know there are going to be people making bad fox/foxy jokes and puns). What happened in that scene was more like a basic therapy appointment, which is very different from being tested. That aside, it was a sweet scene. The entire subplot reminded me of Three's Company, but in a good way. I thought Georgie was going to have Missy help him sell the snowglobes, in exchange for a share of the profit, but I was wrong. I liked the episode overall.
  9. I knew I recognized him, but I didn't figure it out until later. Also Cliff Claven at AA. Someone in casting has a sense of humor.
  10. Serious, honest question for people who know more about cameras and television than I do. Is it possible the colors seem off because we are used to seeing it on some type of film stock (I know sitcoms were filmed with cameras, but I have no idea what medium the cameras used to record a show like this) from endless re-runs before HD, and now we are seeing it filmed in HD with cameras capturing a higher resolution (I hope this is the right terminology)? To phrase it another way, is it possible that the colors look different because this is the first time most of us are seeing these objects/colors/paterns in HD?
  11. It's Glenn Gordon Caron, so I'm not 100% sure the baby will actually become a character on this show. This is the same man who brought us Moonlighting, so we know he can use a pregnancy for drama and not have it end with a happy, healthy, baby.
  12. I can't beleive they skipped over jury selection. That used to be the best part of the show. It was fun to see them figuring out what kind of people they wanted on the jury and the best questions to ask to achieve their desired results. I enjoyed seeing what sort of slightly off beat/off the wall questions they would ask.
  13. Based on what I have read, the turf was hard. They often injured themselves, (just bad scrapes, so painful, but nothing too serious) on it. This show continues to make me alternate between "this is totally awesome" and "this is completely insane." If this becomes an Air BnB type situation, I would save up my money and stay there. I would go totally nuts with a photo-shoot.
  14. Mike is a widower, that's clear from the scene in the pilot when Mike is talking to Bobby about the picture of his first wife/Bobby's mother that is no longer in the boys' room. We never found out what happened to Carol's first husband. Sherwood Schwartz wanted the character to be a divorcee but the network executives said no. The same thing happened with The Partridge Family and Mary Tyler Moore. The show's creators wanted the female lead to be a divorcee and the network executives said no.
  15. I had the same thought. I wonder if part of the reason they did this was to get Brady fans to watch in the hopes the Brady fans would then start watching other HGTV series.
  16. Boomers watched it first run but Gen-X and millennials have gotten hooked on it, or at least have watched it through endless syndicated reruns. As a little kid I was so mad when there was a baseball game on TBS in the early afternoon instead of The Brady Bunch.
  17. My guess is they will house modern appliances in older housing. From the outside it look like a 1970s fridge, but the inner workings will be modern. That's what I'm thinking. A Christmas Story house manages to make a go of it as a tourist attraction/gift shop in a residential area. The house that the renovation show is using as HQ could become the gift shop. Having it as a place where you can stay overnight would be awesome. I'd spend money to live in that house for a weekend.
  18. Yes, but Franklin doesn't know that. He has no idea what college would have been like. It seems like the people in his neighborhood may have gone to community college or places like ITT Tech and that's it. Based on the lack of diversity, I thought it was a private college, more like Stanford and less like Berkley. Of course, it was all a fantasy created by someone who has no idea what any college is actually like beyond what he's seen in movies. Franklin sees himself as Al Pacino in Godfather II- cool and in control of a vast criminal enterprise. In reality he's more like Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon-he's in way over his head and is one wrong move away from having it all blow up in his face.
  19. Nice to know I'm not the only one who had that reaction. I know Florence Henderson is dead and no relation to Eve Plumb, but when I saw Eve I thought "she looks like Florence." It must be so strange for the actors who played the Brady kids to be working on this project. I think this is the first major Brady project (like a documentary or a reunion special) featuring the original actors without any of the adults. The major thoughts going through my head while watching this were, "this is completely insane" and "this is totally awesome."
  20. I've always chalked it up to genetic roulette. I'm not a genetics expert, but she has red hair on both sides of her family. Her grandmother (Cora's mother) and her aunt both have red hair. It never bothered me. My brother and I are siblings and we look nothing alike. We barely look related. Same here.
  21. I don't think it's going there. Money will stop the truth from getting out. Franklin staged it to sort of look like a suicide. Andre's partner is more than willing to go along with that story and paid off the ME to say it was suicide.
  22. That theory works for me. If John and Paul never met, then you don't have the songwriter partnership that leads to The Beatles. You are correct about John and Yoko. They met at an art gallery. If John never becomes rich and famous, then he probably does not enter the trendy art gallery where she was exhibiting some of her work.
  23. My guess is that something that happened in the original timeline did not happen in this alternate version. Maybe they never went to Germany and changed thier image. Maybe John's skiffle band for some reason never developed beyond some local band. I agree. This element of the movie reminded me of Field of Dreams. The magic isn't explained. Either you're on board and accept it or you question it, require an explanation, and then are confused or annoyed for the rest of the movie.
  24. What I love about the scene is the reason why he's looking at her like that. He's just seen her flirt with every young man there and he's pretty sure he knows exactly what kind of young woman she is. Also, the scene with the two of them arguing in the library is hot, intense, and wonderful. I love that he goes from "With enough courage, one can do without a reputation" to "my daughter is going to be received in the best homes of the south," and Bonnie is only a week old. Rhett goes from not caring about reputation, status, and position to doing everything he can to secure a place for Bonnie in society. Scarlett starts off caring a great deal about reputation, status, and position to placing more value on money and survival.
  25. I think she's supposed to be based on Jodie Foster. Foster was guest staring in TV shows at about that time. I think the child actor may have been slightly older than Foster was at the time, so it's not a perfect match. If violence bothers you, wait until it's on TV. There's only two scenes that are brutally violent. One of which is very short with almost no no blood but there is a ton of blood, gore, and screaming for a much longer scene that lasts a little over 15 minutes. If not Polanski's films than someone else that Polanski put him in touch with/put in a good word for his new friend and neighbor. To me, what was significant is that he gets invited inside, part of the in-crowd. He talked about being one pool party away from re-starting his career, and now he's inside the house.
