Sarah 103

This is exactly my point. I want Tim to stay the clean-cut wonderful young man he is, but I also want to see him make a dumb mistake, because he's human and that's what people do.

I was trying to find a way to say something like this. There is a difference between physical appearance and health. Someone can be healthy but not look like a Men's Health/Swimsuit model. I felt like the episode was conflating the two (appearance=health.) Normally Jamie is more trusting while Danny is more skeptical of people's motives. It was strange to watch Jamie see a hidden agenda or motive in something as simple as a women's softball league.

Agreed. I would love to see Tim do something minor league stupid in attempt to get Beatles tickets to impress a girl. I've thought it would be great to do a varation of this story. There's a girl who knows Tim's father is a doctor, and thinks Tim must have access to all sorts of medical books. She thinks she might be pregnant so she asks him. She's too afraid to get a test or go for an appointment herself. Tim starts going through medical books and asking the Nonnatans suspicious questions. They start to suspect that Tim's gotten a girl in trouble. It turns out they are wrong.

It was fun to see Bonnie acting like a new mom and going through all of the classic moments even though her daughter is a grown adult. Kristy acting like a child was the only reason it worked as well as it did. I liked the scenes in the grocery store.

My guess/theory is that the call came from a landline and not a cellphone, which is why everyone thought the call came from the husband, because it showed up as his number, and no one thought the daughter had made the call. He had said they spoke, which explained his number in her list of recent calls and I guess they didn't look into whether or not the call on the mother's phone was incoming or outgoing.

I have no problem with him being a good kid. I do not want to see the writers give him a season long story arc where he turns into an angst ridden jerk who's constantly getting into trouble. Everyone makes mistakes/does at least one stupid thing during thier life. Many times, this happens during the teen years. Even the adults on this series, the various nuns and midwives have made mistakes. It makes them more human. I want the same for Timothy. Having him make one stupid mistake wouldn't ruin the character for me, it would make him more realistic.

I'm from Connecticut. We had one in 1st grade. It was fun. People brought their teddy bears to school and we had snack with them. I think there were other activities too. Yes to this. I don't want him to do something massively stupid that ruins his life or his future like dropping out of school or participating in some kind of dare that results in permanent physical damange. I want to see something dumb and small-scale, like he skips class so he can be first in line to buy Beatles tickets to impress a girl he likes, or gets caught in a place he shouldn't be with people he shouldn't be with. This is going to make me sound ghoulish and morbid, but I promise I'm not. I know that pregancies sometimes go horribly wrong and that's as true in 2019 as it would have been in 1964. I keep waiting for something to turn out badly and each time I think, is this the moment it's going to end in disaster, but it rarely does. What a wonderful tradition. I had never heard of a Three Bear's party. I like the idea.

I agree. It was great the way they showed the audience that Streeter is actually quite smart and good at his job, even though he seemed a little out there and silly for most of the series. While many of Lance's shoe ideas were kind of stupid, the dry erase one was actually brilliant. It allows for creativity, customization, and you could constantly change it. That would totally appeal to teenagers and kids. One of the things that I really enjoyed about this season was how the characters slowly changed over the course of the episodes. I can't wait to see what happens in season 2.

The movie actually sounded like it could have been pretty good. We've never seen the body swap movie with siblings where there was a big age difference before. Disney Channel had an original movie Wish Upon A Star, but the siblings were only three years apart. In the movie Chase and Carey were going to be in, the age difference would have been at least a decade. I'll bet the movie would have been the high school student (Chase) wishing he could be a grown-up/adult like his older brother (Carey), while the older brother (Carey) hates his grown-up/adult life and wishes he could be in high-school again. If Chase is going to college, NYU is the perfect school. No one cares about having celebrities in class. They may gush to their friends, but in class, he's just another student. I think they are setting up Brooke managing Carey's career next season, which could be fantastic to watch.

Now that Carey has come to his senses, I really hope Jeremy gives him another chance and that Carey doesn't blow it. Brooke continues to be fantastic at her job.

When the series started, I never would have expected Cary to get sucked into the celebrity lifestyle and the idea of fame. I'm equally surprised that Brooke has turned out to be the mature, responsible one who is somehow immune to the idea of fame and celebrity. As bad it was watching Cary totally ruin his chances with Jeremy, what was even worse was that Cary lacked the self awareness to realize what a major idiot he was coming across as. I want a flashback of Cary and Brooke as kids before Chase was born, as in a scene with just the two of them talking to each other.

Roscoe is living with Candace and Baxter. I agree, it would be nice if they mentioned him from time to time.

I think part of it is age. The rabbi seemed older, and I have no problem believing this is Pastor Jeff's first churches, or at least, his first church as head pastor. I was watching this plotline thinking, "didn't they already do this plot?" so thank you for confirming that for me. Missy and Georgie are great. What I love is that they will act like Statler and Waldorf to Sheldon, but if anyone outside the family insults him, they will get into a fight and defend their brother. I want to see a scene of Missy at school. I know it would be expensive because it would mean a new set and extras, but I think it would be fun to see.

I love this fan theory. I want a scene of all Beverly's children in a room without her (or so they think), and we find out she's been playing mind games with all of the them and each of them thinks the other two are the favorite. (She is secretly studying thier reactions when they find out the truth). I really hope we get a scene with Leonard and all of his siblings, or at least find out more about the other siblings by having them actually appear. At first that's what I thought, but if that were the case, I think they would have mentioned that. There are two main possibilities: One is that Beverly wrote the book based on tests/studies she did with her own children. The other is that Beverly read the book, did the tests/studies on her own children and tried to expand or build on the existing work. This episode is not the series finale, so it's still possible for Amy to be pregnant at the end of the series.

Brooke is great at helping her younger brothers advance thier careers, but also not letting the career take over their life. Her idea for Cary to use the Instagays to further his career and increase his followers was good, sound advice. She was also willing to let him know when she thought he was taking it too far.

For some reason I thought this taking place during the summer. I thought during the first or second episode she talked about wanting to spend school vacation in LA looking for her birth mother.

I know! It could also totally work as movie, because it's about characters trying to get from point A to point B and what happens/who they meet along the way. It would probably be a bad animated movie, but it's the kind of thing I could easily see being made. Brooke is a great older sister to Chase but also to Cary as well. It's interesting finding out Brooke is much smarter than I thought.

Demographics is not an exact science. I have heard people say the Baby Boom ends in 1960 or 1965. I tend to go with the earlier date because there are so many major events that shaped the boomer generation, and someone born in 1965 would barely remember them. Someone born in 1960 would at least have some vague memories of 1968 and might be able to understand why what was happening was important. Also, by 1965 many of the children born would have had boomers as parents. (person born in 1945, who marries and has kids at age 20 would make it 1965).

I don't know if Frank would admit to having a favorite, but Jamie is the most similar to him so maybe that's what you're seeing. Danny is more like Henry.

Bonnie is the start of Gen-X. She's part of the cohort that most likely would not have been tested or diagnosed with ADD or something similiar.

My guess is that goes towards snacks.

If Cary wants a real relationship and he's willing to do something long distance, Jeremy would be perfect. I have no idea how far away from New York they are, but weekend visits might be possible. There's phone calls/video chats for during the week. Brooke is more willing to stand up for Chase than Cary. Having Brooke as part of the team is great. Not only does it give us an inside look at the crazy celebrity culture, it also allows for Brooke to be a real advocate for Chase in a way that few others would be. I liked the scenes of Cary and Brooke at the dance and the diner.

You know what? That's an excellent point. Especially based on what we've seen from the scenes of Sheldon in church.

I think this episode showed that Vernoica may be smarter than we give her credit for. She understands communism and Georgie doesn't. The sense that I got is Georgie isn't sure whether or not he can be just friends, and he was pretty open about it. Veronica laughed it off. I think she understands Georgie is a sweet, goofy teen and not a creepy weirdo. Veronica might be willing to give George a second chance, on her terms. I think it was funny the first few times, but they did it too often. It just stopped being funny and became annoying. I also wish we had found out how Sheldon's comments impacted Missy at school. I understand they couldn't show it, but cut out a few of MeeMaw's songs and you now have a minute or two of show to give Missy a few lines about what happened to her at school. My guess is the neighborhood thinks he's a genuis and doesn't understand his limits. They think he knows everything. Sheldon might think he knows everything, but he doesn't. We know that, but the character and the rest of the town does not.

I thought switching seats at first was going to have something to do the with results. I wondered if they had already signed in/had assigned seats and switching seats was going to cause accusations of cheating or trying to get around the system. Once she switched to a different row, I realized my first guess was wrong. I don't think it's that contrived. When Bonnie was growing up people weren't as aware of ADD/ADHD and people weren't tested for learning disabilities as often as they are now. Also, girls/women are less likely to be diagnosed with ADD/ADHD to begin with.
