AP Bio had Lorne Michaels as an executive producer which has a lot of cache with NBC and probably why it was renewed despite the really low ratings. It's what happened with Great News last year which had Tina Fey on board and got renewed despite the bad ratings. Although that got cancelled after the second season, I imagine AP Bio probably will too unless they retool it or it gets great in the second season.

LA To Vegas is supposed to be finishing up soon, so maybe it starts airing after that ends. I read that Fox was letting the unaired episodes air in New Zealand which is usually not good for a show on the bubble. Maybe it was too expensive and it became a big headache or something.

Looking at her IMDB page, it's crazy how many television shows she popped up in before her breakout in The Mick. In addition to Malcolm, she's been in episodes of ER, The Shield, My Name Is Earl, CSI, Dexter, Justified, Sons Of Anarchy, Entourage, Everybody Hates Chris, Bones, Community, 2 Broke Girls, and The Mindy Project. Usually, it's just for an episode in a really small part but that's a huge list of shows.

Yeah, that would be an interesting direction for Alba. I love the actress, but the character felt a little aimless this season.

If it does get renewed, I'd rather have Sabrina come out of it with a different personality or being the opposite of her current character. Her just being paralyzed like The Colonel wouldn't be funny.

I think both will be renewed tbh. I can see Fox bringing back almost everything while they prepare for big changes from the impending sale. Only shows that look like they are surefire goners are The Exorcist which barely got renewed last year and is averaging as low as 0.3 in the 18-49 demo and Ghosted which was shelved without any news of it returning and replaced on Sundays by Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Once again maybe I'm biased, but I think there is potential for it on Sundays ala Married With Children back in the day. I think the crazy family shenanigans has decent crossover appeal if properly promoted.

I was mostly going on last week when Mick got a 0.7 in 18-49 while LA To Vegas got a 0.6. LA To Vegas gets more viewers, but it's in a better time slot and The Mick was getting around that number of viewers when it was on at 8:00. It's not much of a difference, but I'm biased because I'm meh on LA To Vegas while I really like The Mick and I want to see it get promoted better.

Mick looked pretty crushed during the ending too. Had tears coming out of her eyes. Very dark and serious ending. Great episode. Not the funniest, but I thought Kaitlin's acting was great throughout and I always like these Mickey/Sabrina episodes. Hope it gets renewed and I think it has a decent shot. Ratings aren't great, but no worse than the rest of the Fox live action sitcoms and it's been doing better than LA To Vegas lately. Seems to be building a cult audience as well. I think if they move it to Sundays in the fall while giving Brooklyn Nine Nine/Last Man On Earth shorter seasons that premier in the winter, it might have a shot to get a little more popular.

I think The Mick has a very good shot at getting renewed. The ratings are bad, but all the live action sitcoms on Fox do terrible ratings and The Mick actually did a better rating than LA To Vegas this week. It should be renewed and moved to Sundays in the Fall after the animated block. I imagine if they renew Brooklyn Nine-Nine, they'll do what they did with New Girl and give it a shorter season.

The episodes with Ben seem to have a higher sense of urgency than the other kids, since everyone deeply cares for him. The last few episodes have been better to me than the Chip or Sabrina focused ones for that reason. I was thinking the were underusing him and overusing Chip at the beginning of the season and now the show has been better since they've given Ben more to do and curbed Chip's screen time a bit. Chip has been a lot better since the storyline with his dad wrapped up.

Yeah, it was bullet proof glass The order was switched. Last Week's episode was supposed to air before this one which is why Chip's fingers weren't mentioned. The Chernin brothers made the decision to switch it according to their Den Of Geek interview because they didn't want two Mickey/Jimmy having to save Ben from a predicament episodes airing back to back. So, they put The Night Off between The Accident and The Car. I wouldn't be surprised if Chip cutting his fingers off is never mentioned again. Alba did say "find your fingers and we'll go to the hospital" and this show has had Jimmy lose his ass/nuts and Mickey bleeding a gusher after getting a shard of glass pulled from her neck without it being mentioned again. I can't nitpick this show since it's a live action cartoon with intentionally stupid characters that's more about the gags then realism. If Jimmy gets decapitated and then has a head by the next episode, it wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Mickey's pretty stupid. Easy excuse, but this episode was basically a Kaitlin Olson physical comedy showcase so I didn't mind it. I loved The Mickey stuff, but thought the rest of the episode was filler. The Jimmy plot line went nowhere for me. Catfish storyline was okay, but I was mostly waiting for them to get back to Mickey. I laughed really hard at Mickey hitting herself with the Rock, bashing the car, her reaction when the trunk opened, and her facial expressions/noises when she was climbing through the back seat.

This was a good episode. I really like what they are doing with the Mickey/Sabrina relationship and Chip had me laughing for once. Alba and the rat felt flat. I think the actress is funny, but they haven't given her much to work with in some episodes this season. I'd be fine if she just appeared in the opening scene and returned at the end of the episode since it would've gave more time to Mickey and Sabrina in prison.

The writers usually do a lousy job at setting up an interesting B-Story. Even in some of my favorite episodes of the series, I usually can't remember what the b or c plots are. I can't remember the last Chip storyline I liked. Maybe it was in The Matriarch.

Best episode in a while, even if I found the Chip/Sabrina B-plot to be kind of weak. The main storyline was great and Mickey/Alba/Jimmy had some great moments. Kaitlin always shines when she gets to play manic and do her physical comedy and she had me cracking up here. The urine covered bedsheet completely covering her had me dying. I know they only have so many hours to work with the kid that plays Ben, but the show seems to have so much more urgency when he's involved in the main plot of the episode.
