Late reply, but that sounds like a kindness. If you’d been mixed in with the Amway people you would’ve spent the entire night declining offers to join, peruse the catalog, or go see the merch you know is in their trunk. I’d forgotten about this show until a couple weeks ago when I was up early on a Sunday and caught a repeat. Chicago brides, one was 19 with a toddler, had a really bad attitude toward the other weddings, and was a picky eater. I swear some of these women plan one party and think their aesthetic is the end-all-be-all of sophistication and class. The petite, towheaded pediatric ICU nurse won. Her Facebook shows them still together with a young child 10+ years later. Its harder to find people these days, I think. So many people don’t do social media anymore or it’s locked down. I could only find two couples even though I knew the 19 year old’s full name. The other couple is still together but living in SoCal. I’ve never been able to find B-L-A-N bride even though both their names and wedding date were visible during their segment. It must’ve been horrible to be hated and humiliated like that and have it forever associated with your wedding, but she was comedy GOLD. The repeats we’re getting boring, but the new episodes with the different format where they knew each other didn’t work. It was like a bad reality soap opera.

I thought the beginning of the end was them moving Erica away for college and trying to work her college life into the show…and Bev still had 2 at home. Now 1 is married, 1 is in a LTR and trying to get into med school, Adam is going to be a few hours away, and The Mur Man is permanently otherwise occupied. Will next season be 30% Adam at NYU, 20% Erica and Barry, and 50% Beverly terrorizing the neighborhood?

I thought James sincerely felt he hadn’t raped anyone, and no one ever made him see that he was wrong. I think that might’ve been a better ending even — him realizing that what he’d done to Holly and Olivia was rape. He already knew what they’d done with Alec and the cover-up was wrong, so making him go to prison for that wouldn’t change any of his thinking. I also wish Holly hadn’t been the prosecutor. Between that huge lie and the affair with the married man, I disliked her and was hoping she’d be found out by someone who would report her. I think it would’ve been better if another prosecutor had discovered Kate was Holly, convinced her to testify, and then the jury still found him not guilty. They still could’ve done the ending where Sophie realizes he is a rapist, has the big scene with Kate, and turns James and Tom over to the police. I’d give it a 4/10.

PlutoTV app has them all on demand if they’re not available on Paramount+.

So now we know Olivia reported the rape on Oct. 29th, and Sophie/James found out around Christmas. (If the timelines are generally close it was Christmas.) Maybe she or the police leaked it, which is why the investigation kicked-up after the media reports. I noticed the dog had gotten much bigger by the time the trial started. A subtle way to note passing of time. The future PM promises James that he owes him forever. Chris Clarke got it right when he asked the PM what James had on him. I think Chris is the only one with any charisma. And the prosecutor is having an affair with a married man, too.

Maybe the roles will be reversed next year? They both die for a few seconds which disables Sam’s ability but enables Jay’s. Is Pete jealous of Mark and that’s why he wanted Jay to stop hanging out with him? The 50’s housewife at the Thornsby’s surprised me. She was dressed like a Volvo driver rather than a wealthy society wife. I would’ve expected a tea length gown and pearls. No servants to make cookies for Wally and the Beav? I can guess as to why the living Thornsbys don’t have full-time help (dwindling generational wealth, social mores), but not the 50’s.

I think it’s his lies about his age. Mandy wouldn’t have dated him if she’d known. If Jana had gotten pregnant I think she and Georgie would’ve been told to sit on the couch while all the parents paced the living room rotating anger, fear, and incredulity. I liked this episode. Sheldon’s minimal screen time made it better, but no hot dogs in the spaghetti, Brenda?? I gotta go with Sheldon on that one. And Mary needs to walk a fine line. Mandy can make it difficult to see the baby if Mary pushes her too far. Mary might send her straight back to her people, as MeeMaw called them. I didn’t miss the circus of John and Dr. Linkletter.

I liked him too. His comments were reasonable and focused on real issues not paint. (Though those fuschia? maroon? cabinet pulls were screaming for feedback.) House 2 was a non-starter, but sending your guests to the basement to use the restroom (H1 and post-Reno H3) would be too much for me. Your storage area would be on display and you’d be constantly policing the main floor bathroom to keep guests (squatters 😂) away. One thing caught my ear: he mentioned using his home office as a guest room. Last time I knew anyone claiming a home office on their taxes they had to jump through a lot of hoops to prove it was a dedicated office space and not a dual-purpose room. I picture a revenue agent watching the show and flagging his return for auditing. Maybe laws have changed, or he doesn’t plan on taking the deduction. See HH: We don’t need a bunch of manufactured drama to enjoy an episode!

So relieved Nigel wasn’t sucked off. Please don’t let Jay be dead, just let him see the ghosts.

The rape accusation came after the story broke? I had a little trouble following the timelines — they don’t seem to be parallel because the weather and time of day change as they toggle between arcs. So the barrister is a prosecutor. Guess James’ legal troubles are just beginning. I liked the effect of him being blown away/knocked off his feet when he got the news from the detectives. Also liked the PM’s fix-it guy’s humor. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had an affair and today is Tuesday and here’s what you need to do.”

I wish someone had some joy in their life. I understand this is a drama, but is there nothing they enjoy? Mags had lunch with her sister and might’ve smiled a couple of times, and Theo used to have his kids, but not much else. Mags definitely should not date that med student, though.

Thanks for starting the episode threads, @statsgirl! I literally came here to do the same.

Abishola can’t admit she got any help from anyone? She still had to do the work, but no one helped her? Not a single person did her a good turn? She was incredibly unlikeable this episode.

Could she have chosen to leave his body? I thought she was trapped but decided to use the situation to do what she wanted never minding what was best for Jay. Regardless, standing behind him under the guise of “supervising” was really funny. It was a nice callback.

Exact same impression. Unfortunately I can’t stand Kirstie Alley or gum chewing. I was wishing Hetty really did have the power to condemn people to hell. At least we won’t see her for another year as long as people stay out of the attic. Isaac knew all about Hamilton the musical and his career from Trevor’s internet search, but he hadn’t learned how Hamilton died, and he had no commentary about Aaron Burr being the one to kill him? The Alexa, Jay and Sam’s date, and Thor/Flower were great.

Not one of them followed the plan: When you switched to your innie, find someone you think you can trust as soon as you can and tell them. Irv never even told anyone. No one! I can see why it took Helly so long to figure out who she was and what she was doing, but she just waited waited waited while the receptionist prattled on, knowing Cobel knew and then she got out 3 sentences. Mark at least got his story out, but even he didn’t give it urgency. Meanwhile they know Dylan is working a system meant for two and that he could be discovered any moment and then it’d be all for naught. Best part of the episode was Burt’s boyfriend. And we still don’t know what data refiners do.

Australia: I came in a little late. Please tell me they didn’t really ship a fake Christmas Tree to Australia and make 10’ ceilings one of their “must have” items to accommodate its height? At least make a show of bringing a tape measure rather than stretching your arms above your head to get approximate height. Sorry, Cowboy Aussie.

I hadn’t noticed it before, but when Sam was being loaded into the ambulance Pete was empathizing with Jay because Pete had argued with his wife the last time he saw her, and he knew the regret Jay was facing. Pete couldn’t remember what the argument was about, but he now realized nothing was more important than his love for his wife. But then Pete (getting more and more worked up), “Oh, I remember now! She ate all the donut holes, and she doesn’t even like donut holes. She did it just to spite me.” But then he remembered he was suppose to focus on the love and not the anger he obviously still felt about the donut holes. 😂

If this ends on a cliffhanger or a tease for S2, I’m canceling Apple+.

I thought it’d be something he could use to knock Milchick over the head and kill him.

I’ve written and deleted several posts since Thursday that echo this. This episode introduced too many “huh?” plot details and scenarios that we have to fanwank away for me to enjoy it. I’ve let most of it go until this week, but Trevor’s body in the lake—now joined by Thor’s—tipped it for me. And now I’m guessing/excusing that the writers do this deliberately so they have the freedom to introduce whichever plots they want.

The worst thing about the waffle party wasn’t the masked dancers, but the cold waffles. There was a perfectly square pat of butter on top that hadn’t melted at all. Might as well gum a frozen Eggo.

Meemaw can suck a rock. Now she’s pissed off about Georgie lying? And she doesn’t even know about her great grandchild yet.

This show has to be expensive to produce after so many years. How many times have decent shows been canceled because salaries are so high that new shows are better risks? ABC development execs should be fired if The Goldbergs is the most cost efficient show they have.

CBS has had their announcers during the NCAA men’s tournament reading promotional materials. During time outs or whatever they’ve been talking about Trevor’s pants. Lol
