Good episode and what a really sweet, emotional ending. It worked great for a season finale and it would have worked well as a series finale

This was such a good, interesting article. You wouldn’t think a 6 episode season of a 30 minute sketch show would take very long to put together but it clearly does

The thinking is that it will be sold to a FAST (ad-supported) channel, like several of Warner Bros Discovery shows were, so they can get at least some money from it instead of it sitting around with hardly any subscribers watching (assumingly) but them still having to pay residuals. But note, the showrunner insisted it wasn't canceled, just that it would be more than 12 months before they could get around to making a second season. Well it's canceled on Disney+ for sure

I enjoyed this episode, especially with Margaret and Todd switching roles. Yay for Margaret getting named partner! Though her boss still scares me

Wow on the latter half of the finale I hadn’t read the plot of the finale so I didn’t know about the tornado

Disney+ is removing some shows on or by May 26, including Willow. Hulu will be removing some shows as well at some point. These titles will probably show up on FAST channels at some point https://www.vulture.com/2023/05/disney-plus-hulu-to-remove-select-tv-shows-movies.html

I read an article about it and he’s recurring so he’s probably done filming for now and will pop up again in awhile. He’s made this kind of comment before so he may be misleading a bit

I don’t know about that adoption plan Brett, that sounds like a plan that’s going to backfire I’m glad Kidd was able to help that homeless guy even if it was to help the case. I just hope he doesn’t end up obsessing more about her

Just saw this. Uh oh

Favorite performances: Holly Noivas Gina Sorelle D. Smooth Grace I thought it was a pretty good night and I felt there were no bad performances. Noivas is my favorite to win or get Top 2 Made the Finals: Grace, D. Smooth, Gina, Sorelle, Noivas I too don’t think groups should compete with solos. I also don’t like how the public voting was done. There should have been a night of voting allowed but the shows seems to really be rushing to the end. I hope they don’t repeat this kind of voting

Well, with everybody but the 2 leads cut to recurring with 5 episodes max, you’ll get your wish on seeing less of the characters

I forgot about that or wasn’t watching at the time. So maybe not, but he might have a more forgiving response these days

I think Gladys should just go to Sonny about her gambling problem and that Miss Wu is threatening her. Her attempts to hide it and letting Miss Wu to threaten her just creates problems
