I thought a lot of people had remarked they didn’t like the witness protection or Bob Hope storyline. I personally hated the Rose meeting the president episodes and Sophia stealing the Pope’s ring, but maybe that’s just me. I don’t think the series would be wiped out without those episodes, but to each his own.

I always hate the over the top episodes in any series. Are we supposed to believe these average ladies would meet the Pope, the President, Bob Hope, Burt Reynolds, and be chosen for a Hollywood game show, and auditioned for Jeopardy? Not to mention being held at gun point numerous times, know someone in the witness protection program, and get arrested several times. All of those episodes were bad. Who maintains a job with shoplifting and prostitution arrests on their record? Just ridiculous.

A few weeks ago I traveled 12 hrs and got treatment in one day and was back home at bedtime. Of course nausea negates any need to stop for food.

The one she bathed on earlier. I guess the open crotch is the centerpiece.

Can we please, please get Morgan Freeman to narrate. I can’t watch without closed captioning anymore!

Funny how she can walk out to the car but not to the toilet.

“My biggest fear is that Dr Now will say he can’t help me”, in the post-show voice over, while a full camera crew films the person walking in the office, after being taped while showering. I’m sure they want lots of footage of people Dr Now rejects. 🙄

Also, proper hair growth is dependent on good blood flow. I’m sure the lack of movement, therefore lack of good blood flow impedes hair growth.

Why on earth do they not replay tape when people are lying about their food intake to Dr. Now? That would make my day! I would love to see their faces when they are busted. I would also like to know which school gave a diploma to someone who doesn’t know the proper use of “I” and “me”.

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean to say. Neglected kids growing up with an addict for a parent often grow up to be brats. They haven’t been taught to be nice people. That’s why I don’t understand why everyone hates the fact that she is a brat. That’s real life. Christy gambles away the money of friends, takes their trust and abuses it. She steals, skips out on rent, and does crappy things like that even when she has supposedly turned her life around. Who was she supposed to turn out? Anything above a selfish brat would not be realistic in my view.

The paradoxes on this show amaze me. Christy goes on a couple of dates with the fireman and everyone in the group is freaking out, especially Bonnie, about her possibly relapsing until she finally stops seeing him. Then later Bonnie, who had very recently actually relapsed, goes out with Adam- no big deal. Keep pot and beer in the house-sure. Be too hungover to go places-whatever. Open a freaking bar, great idea! Discover your son smoking pot and become a helicopter parent then never see or mention him again.? Gamble away Regina’s money, she says, “oh well, it’s ok.” So no payback and the AA group says nothing about payback, amends or joining GA. Gamble away rent money, only Alvin suggests payback. Gamble Bonnie’s bail money, different story. Houston, we think we finally have a problem! Eat at the Bistro entire first season before Jill shows up. Jill joins group and at some point begins paying. Jill quits paying and it’s suddenly too expensive. Even though Bonnie and Christy are in a better financial situation because rent is now free. Then begin eating there again with no problem. I personally love the Violet character. She’s exactly like the daughter of an alcoholic, drug addict, gambler should be- angry, bitter, and unforgiving. Christy shouldn’t get a pass because she has a cute face. Violet seems to have a home and a job so it sounds like she is better off without her. No one berated Bonnie for not being able to forgive her mother while she was alive. She blamed her mother for everything just like Violet. Maybe that’s why Bonnie is leaving the situation for the two of them to work out, while maintaining a relationship with both.

Long time reader, 1st post, so hello everyone. I used to love this show and even frequently watch the reruns. Am I wrong or did the producers not say they eliminated the kids from the show to concentrate on the girls in the AA group? Then they add these weird bit parts and we still don’t get a concentration on the main 5 girls. They wrote off Kevin Pollack way too soon, I think some interaction between Christy and her dad would have been great, whether or not he and Bonnie remained a couple. I just don’t get these new people all the time. Seems like every show the “AA girls” still get bit roles while they insert some new and annoying person like Missi Pyle, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Kirsten Johnson. Great people but annoying characters on this show. Last season they added Steven Weber for a while, who wasn’t bad, but it’s like the show is nothing more than a vehicle for guest stars.
