The Cha-Cha Slide being used was also special since DJ Casper passed away last summer.

By the way, apparently, that was not GIzelle doing the pulling.

I was looking forward to this episode because I knew we would get some singing from Saycon and Ms. Patti. I was not expecting the church to be perfectly okay with Lillian not being on the choir when everyone knew she could sing like that. I guess they will just blame it on her work schedule. It was also nice seeing Ketty Lester play the deceased choir member that was haunting Dean.

I forgot about this love triangle but I am glad it ended. Also, I am glad that Aunt Jackie's stay has ended. Things are hard enough at work for Lillian given her position but she didn't need her sister there flirting with all the men and telling all her business. Overall, I am glad that the show is back. And, I am happy that the two-episode premiere was just that and not a full summer dump, even if the future of the show is bleak.

It was nice to finally have the show back. This episode was a great welcome back. I also enjoyed seeing Titus.

Sanya was born in Jamaica and moved to the US when she was 12. So, as a professional athlete in the US, I am not surprised that her accent comes when she is around her family and goes otherwise.

Two things, 1. The Percolator was a great song back in the day, lol. But 2. I am pretty sure they were playing City Girls song "Twerkulator", which, of course, samples the Percolator.

Yeah. I knew Juan could sing but when they pitched with Lisa singing, I was wondering if he had a bit of a struggle voice like his younger sister. But then he started singing and I was even more perplexed as to why they would "risk" not being picked by having Juan sit there and watch.

Yes. Juan is the son of Carvin Winans II, member of The Winans and 3WB. And if you have seen the show Greenleaf, he is also the brother of Deborah Joy Winans (she plays Charity). As for the show overall, this is my first time watching it. I saw Boyz II Men post about their winning song and decided to watch the full episode, and then decided to binge this season. I liked all 3 songs that were worked on although I did not feel that "Bad Things" was really a song for B2M. However, I could see Usher singing it so I wish the writer could have been saved for that episode. "Love Struck" is definitely stuck in my head. I wish it was longer. And The Winans song was much better received when Juan sung it compared to when Lisa sung it. For seasoned songwriters, I am surprised they had Lisa sing in the original pitch. As for this season overall, I did like the songs on H.E.R.'s episode and would like to hear "Scary" in mastered form, whether by Axel or a known artist that I like. HER definitely made me like "Wrong Places" more. I didn't really care for it when Jersey Girl performed it. Lastly, in 7 episodes, three of the musical guests have been from country music. Now, I have increased my country music listening over the past few months but I was starting to wonder if this show was actually taped in Nashville. However, since I like Shane and Usher is coming on later, I am cool with it. I really do like this show despite my not being able to sing a lick nor having written a song since elementary.

To the first bolded, I have been watching past seasons and it seems that last season, Todd and Kandi discussed having two embryos left. They both were basically saying that they did not want to "leave any soldiers behind". When meeting with Dr. Jackie about the surrogate, Todd was giddy about using both embryos. So despite both knowing that they didn't really spend time with their current children, they decided that this was a storyline that they should see to completion. As for the second bolded, I think you have the wording wrong. It seems Todd found out about Kaela when she was around 5 years old, not five years ago.

So the latest episode happened. Nuri has not just fallen, she is all in when it comes to Yasir. He lives in her home, drives her car and still has time to offer her his opinions regarding her life. Something I have not learned if he is using his time doing is working. Does he have an actual "pay upon completion" gig? Is he even writing spec scripts? In closing, Love Is... exhausting. But I will continue to watch the show because I am interested in following their story.

I have been watching. First, a point of clarification, their names are Nuri and Yasir. And the past few episodes, Yasir has been getting on my nerves with his high expectations for Nuri and her time while he spends his days doing everything but working. I still like the show but Yasir is exhausting with all the things he has going on with his life. Also, Keith, baby. You are gay. That was no out. That was your buck naked truth. I missed the previews but will be interesting to see where Keith goes with Angela.

I was in before I saw it and seeing it did not change my mind. I love the cast. Love that it is set in the '90s. And look forward to what is coming up next.

Some time ago, I learned that girl and boy refer to cocaine and heroin, though I do not remember which is which. As for this show, the pilot wasn't as funny as I would have liked. Some of the jokes were old and corny. However, I will keep watching the show. I like the cast so I hope it gets better and is not a chore for me to watch.

So like others, when the joke was that they couldn't name a black man over 65, it took me out of the show for a minute. Between men in my actual family and community, my first thought was Morgan Freeman. Basically, in 2018, to be 65 means you were born in the 1953. To not know anyone living who was born in the '40s or '30s was too much of a stretch to me. But getting pass that, I did giggle when Ruby named Junior "Cool Breeze" and used it later on. Not much from the office, just there to get the Atlantis commercial in. I did find it cute when Bow was playing with the twins and Diane asked Devante to save her. I continue to watch this show and will probably watch it until it ends. But I cannot say it is on my "must see, must discuss" list anymore.
