Thanks for the clarification. I have family who live in St. Charles who have been through that area and I was using their info. Elizzikira - I though the same thing (about Lauren being conceived out of some kind of violent relationship). I thought earlier in the episode they alluded to something about trauma with Sherry, but I didn't see anything afterwards. I've learned a lot about how trauma can trigger hoarding. CrazyInAlabama - My old neighbor rented to an older single lady that worked a lot and two of her adult kids. She ended up with two more adult kids and a couple random grandkids that were living there They ended up leaving due to non-payment of rent and piled all kinds of stuff on our tiny shared lawn in the front - clothing, trash, papers, books, etc. I knocked on their door and told them they needed to bag up all their trash before they left - and I noticed the pile on the lawn was MOVING because it was filled with roaches. I'm still paying for an exterminator even though they have been gone for a couple of years. Matt was worse than Sherry IMHO. He was acting like he was taking over the actual operation of the cleaning/ sorting at times and I kept thinking "if you're so good at this, why do you have to poop in a bucket and your house is loaded with random garbage piled to the ceiling"? There's something seriously wrong with him. He reminded me of one of those guys that hangs around at the public library all day just to have something to do. . . Lauren -poor girl, you did what you could. Be like Elsa and "let it go" cos it's gonna destroy you inside.

My kids were competitive gymnasts years ago at a very high level gymnastic school (they weren't high level but they trained with some kids that were on National Team). I went down a rabbit hole one day wondering what happened to one of their male coaches. I found him on a sex offender website where he had just been released from ten years in prison for possession of child porn. When he was arrested, thankfully he wasn't coaching anymore, but he did coach my kids fairly regularly. Of course I had to have a chat with them and apparently nothing untoward happened with them, but ewww, ewww, ewww having to talk to my kids years afterwards about whether they were abused or saw anything else strange. And one of their old teammates that did go to National Training Camp for years WAS abused by Nassar. It just breaks my heart.

Carol was a bitch on wheels when she was younger, but the first thing I thought when I saw her on screen is that she has some kind of dementia at this point. **ducks flying objects*** The way she kept repeating herself with this nonsensical generic weird comments sounded like she did have some kind of cognitive disorder now. That may have been the way they got in there to clean the hoard and family members ended up taking the house and trying to sell it. I felt very sorry for Dave. He didn't have a chance when his wife died and bossy mean/ sane Carole moved in. I was happy to see the firefighters helping out in the house. Firefighters always look out for each other, even the retired ones. Did anybody notice the location? Ferguson, Missouri - yes that Ferguson. This is obviously out of the actual downtown city.

EVERY SINGLE TIME that episode is on, I watch it for that exact moment. I don't necessarily see JG as hot but I swear I duck cos I know he's about to beat the crap outta Fisher. (who did deserve it).

The bird guy was played by David Pasquesi who played Andrew Meyer on Veep. Mr. Heckles on Friends was played by Larry Hankin. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I actually went to IMDB and look around to find out the info (shoulda just read these posts lol). I saw the Friends episode with Mr. Heckles and the cat a few nights ago so it stuck in my head. And many of you are right - Jackie is acting a little too shrill and Bev-ly lately. It actually seems intentional. Jackie's getting near Bev's age where she moved into the retirement community ("I'm 63 - I feel 63"). Gotta have a wacky unmarried aunt floating around for comic relief. I hope if the writers ever come on here and read the comments that we get to see JERRY AND ANDY come back. Maybe Jerry could help Dan with the construction business. Throw Andy into the mix as well. Oh wait, how about Fred? Imagine Fred coming back to Lanford for a visit!! (hint hint)

The bird guy placed a weirdo neighbor on Friends for years. (been watching reruns way too much). My guess is that everybody was embroiled in their own predicaments that they didn't notice Dan might have been slipping financially. Becky had a new baby and a deported significant other. Darlene is, well Darlene, wound up in her own Darlene-ness as usual. Jackie is a hot mess and only wants to be counted as a member of the family when it's mealtime. Dan was the Steady-Eddy and I'm sure he didn't want to "bother" his family with his financial woes either. He reminds me of those old-school guys that don't delve into feelings or issues much. I've actually been right there at the El Paso/ Juarez crossing about four years ago. (my son in law played professional baseball in El Paso). People walk right over the bridge from Mexico into El Paso to shop or go to the baseball stadium and then cross over in the evening (although I understand the border is now closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic). So Emilio could have just come over the border for the day and Becky wouldn't have needed a passport at all. I was very relieved that Emilio didn't take the baby back to Mexico and not return her (that would have bordered soap opera-land, Connors or not). One thing they didn't address was that Juarez can be VERY dangerous for women - lots of crime/drug activity. My daughter and son-in-law were actually told by MLB reps not to go to Juarez because of criminal activity. Did anybody find the Jackie end tag incredibly distasteful? Why would Jackie be lecturing people about cultural appropriation? She's starting to sound like some batty old woman half the time.

I was just coming on to comment on Bouncy House Liar Lady. She was so obnoxious and I wanted to snap her headband HARD and knock some sense into her. I'm guessing she must have had some adults, like BIG adults, jumping in that bounce house. My daughter has always rented them for kid parties and even with semi-drunk guys from the fire dept. jumping in them, they don't look as torn up as the one Bouncy House Liar turned in. I'm so glad to be watching the recaps on here. My episodes run in the late afternoon and they are always getting preempted by something like the governor or a tornado warning or a car crash.

I could watch Dan and Chuck and the New Recipe Du-wright and his other buddies playing poker all day. Glad to see Leedle Ed (aka Ed Jr) at the table. And DJ has always been awkward as he had gotten older. I hated Darlene less this episode for some reason. Perhaps since she got carted off to jail **cackles wildly*** And I loved the full circle where Harris was ribbing her. I'm guessing Dan has been so wrapped up in mourning his wife that supporting all his family members became his priority and because they all have their own problems, they weren't paying attention. I'm hoping Bev doesn't end up holding it over his head if she does bail him out. Bev was a mean sea hag in the past, but she seems to have gotten meaner and more vindictive as she's gotten older. And I hope Darlene as her power of attorney doesn't just pay off the mortgage to "save" Dan. Oh, hey, how about if Dan wins the lottery?!?! ; D

Wedding cases are always the worse cases because the expectations are so high. My DD had a carriage ride planned after her church ceremony where they planned to go to the reception site nearby. They finished at the church about ten min early and the carriage was about five min late so there was an awkward delay. So to make up for it, the carriage driver took them around the main square of the tiny town they were married in and luckily the photographer got amazing pics because there was some kind of Xmas celebration downtown and people were waving at them like they were royalty. That weird most-likely-not-pregnant chick with the horrible blond fright-wig was just as strange the second time around. My other son-in-law had a family member who was posting pics on Facebook of her "pregnancy" recently (including a fake ultrasound without her name clearly on it) and apparently she "lost the baby" as well. It's a pretty frequently used scam these days.

IMHO Darlene probably feels guilty because she acted like such an idiot at Harris' job that it caused Harris to get fired and lose her ability to pay for college. So why not overcompensate and give Harris the money that Mark truly deserved? And how did Harris all of a sudden decide to become a tattoo artist? Because David was an artist? Cos I don't remember seeing Harris doing any drawing or anything else besides being an entitled teenager smoking pot and making pot cookies early on (until she got her job which her dingbat mother got her fired for). I can totally believe Bev has hidden money somewhere which Darlene found out about after she became her power of attorney. And of course Bev would want to move in with Jackie so she could continue to torment her.

This cracked me up immensely. And my Walmart does have robots that look shockingly like the one on the show. They drive around doing security duty with a camera for eyes. I remember the first time I saw it, I was talking on the phone with my daughter trying to find something on the shelf for her and it followed me. So very creepy. IMHO Darlene has the same problem she had in the original series. She thinks she's college educated so she doesn't have to take or work at a "demeaning" job that's "below her". Remember when she didn't want the copy writing job in the original Roseanne (when they all went out to dinner)? Meanwhile there are people with bachelor's degrees driving Uber and delivering for Amazon. Seems like those who aren't bringing in a paycheck shouldn't be so particular. And Darlene and her kids were mooching off Dan - I'm guessing Dan's house was paid off and he was still working and would be supporting all of them.

I only caught the "vacation" part of this episode. Oh and for the record, South Florida skies look like that every afternoon (i.e. the black skies with rain). It passes in about 10-15 min). But what I did notice how miserable Jazz looked in the family parts. The rest of the family was all happy-pappy and she looked like she was "over it". Which makes me wonder about the dynamics of a family where one member is struggling (for whatever reason) and the rest gets invested so much that they are holding her up instead of encouraging her to see a real therapist. Again, just my opinion.

Is this a rehash of when Roseanne talked Fred into shaving his beard? Cos I hated Fred's lack of beard/ goatee.

Can you imagine her leaving her car window open enough for the process server to fondle her breasts? She would have rolled that window up so fast that his hand would have been trapped and then she would have most likely driven away and done donuts in the parking lot so she could watch him swing around - then she would open the window at maximum velocity and watch him fly across the parking lot and then run him over. THAT's the kind of personality she had. The problem is a difference between "Service Dogs" and "Emotional Support Animals". Anybody can buy an orange vest on the internet and claim to have an "emotional service dog" (or peacock or miniature horsie or rooster). Guess what? We ALL have anxiety. We all worry about whether we're going to have to live in a rooming house with 14 other weirdos when we get older and don't have the money to "uh, MOOOOVE" out. I personally worry about whether my house will ever get hot enough for the toilet water to boil and burn my heiney. And I mostly worry whether Byrd is going to have to pay for childcare for my grandchildren when my kids won't fill out the paperwork so I can double dip and get money on the side from claiming them on my taxes so I can pay off my car title loan and get my new boo on my cell phone plan.

I'm rolling my eyes HARD. Jazz lives in Broward County, home of Fort Lauderdale which has a very large and vocal LGTBQ (hope I got that order right) community. There are drag shows everywhere. There's at least one drag club in Fort Lauderdale. They even had Drag Queen Story Time at the local Barnes and Nobles here at several locations. She couldn't recruit any of those folks to help out? I also feel bad for Jazz's siblings. Imagine finding your life ruled by your sister's genitalia since you were a kid. I would run so far away from dealing with that.

Well, it seems like Jackie is the Queen of Bad Judgement so why not hook back up with the ex-husband that's a serial killer? She dated the history buff that mooched off her until she found that bra that wasn't hers and threw him out. Now she couldn't even figure out she was about to embark in the land of threesomes. I just want to be continuity in the show. I loved so many of the characters from the first show that I would love to see them popping up again and again. Somehow Little Ed (and I can't help it but I hear Roseanne's voice in my head saying "oooo Wittle Eddddddd") was a bit of a letdown.

You and me both AuntiePam (the sister with the braids in the insurance case). I was waving my arms menacingly at the TV set cos she was so smirkable. Did anybody catch where the case where the woman and her mother chased the used car salesman into his office was from? Because I swear it must have been Florida. It's such a Florida thing to happen.

Yep, Crystal named the baby Angela ("maybe you'll get the girl you always wanted"). It's a shame that the writers aren't watching the old shows for continuity since there are a good number of us "superfans" watching (and the Original Roseanne shows are playing every weekend on TV Land). But they are stealing ideas from them (Lunchbox Part Deaux anyone?) I'm wishing they had a big reunion show with a bunch of lost family members showing up - Andy, Jerry, Angela, even Lonnie. And can you imagine if Fred showed up with a new wife? I'm guessing by now Auntie Barbara has passed.

What about Natalie Imbruglia (sp). She's Australian AND she just had a baby (which could be her "little roo"). She also has a tattoo on her foot (and other places). I thought Queen Latifah, but I also thought Toni Braxton - she had "the honor of being knighted into The Royal Order of Constantine the Great and Saint Helen over the weekend,” (I quoted that from some website). But she also does a lot of reality TV AND the voice sounds similar. But then again it's the connection with the Blue Monster who was T.I. and Missy Elliott did a song with him. Yes, Props to those who guessed Drew Carey. I got all excited thinking it was either Bobby Bones (the radio host) or then Seth McFarlane (from listening to the voice). Color me wrong. IMHO Turtle is Jesse McCartney. It sounds like him. And it will be interesting to watch and see if they put any clues about his songwriting in there (did y'all know he wrote "Bleeding Love" for Leona Lewis? )

Yikes, that was brutal. And I live in Florida where people on drugs bite other people's faces off. The plaintiff was def suffering PTSD but I agree with SRTouch that the landlord may not have known the guy was such a wackadoodle. And sometimes it's drugs that send a person over the edge. Is it just me or are the researchers at JJ combing Tinder cases for fodder lately? It makes for interesting viewing as I have always wondered what kind of people actually use Tinder. LOL, this sounds like my father - he was ex Army, tough as nails, and Penn Dutch. I remember one day he had a swollen finger and he got out his trusty pocket knife and some rubbing alcohol, poured alcohol over his finger and just CUT where the joint was. He started milking the finger joint and out popped a huge thorn and pus from inside the knuckle (apparently he had gotten a puncture wound when he was clearing brush earlier in the week. He then pours alcohol IN the opening and then goes about his merry way without even a band-aid. They just don't make em like that any more.

Oh bless her heart. She must be in terrible shape if she was run down by a couple of dogs and fell on the grass. I'm old and fat with a bad back - I flew off an ottoman the other day and did an alligator roll onto the ceramic tile and I managed to get up verrrrry slowly and go about my business the rest of the week without any Tylenol. I guess it's my Pennsylvania Dutch stubbornness. I work in an area where I pass by the scheduling department and the next area over has a station playing the 80s and 90s overhead. I'm always singing randomly to whatever music is playing. (amazing how those lyrics come right back to ya). I'm watching the cases today (blue haired lady that found the cheater's phone at the campground, weird old guy with the wall in the house where the guy got murdered, truck driver with the neck tattoo that took the $1800). What a bunch of stellar individuals! I feel like I need to take a shower after watching them.

My JJ episodes are all goofed up from being preempted and rescheduled,. RE: the case of the Tinder date photographer with the "motivational speaker? How obnoxious was that guy? Did he motivate any of you to want to kick in your TV screen? He certainly motivates JJ to declare that she didn't like him. And the plaintiff reminded me of a poor man's Zooey Deschanel with her big eyes and long bangs. Do people really admit they meet people on Tinder? Isn't that kinda . . . desperate?

IMHO as an armchair psychologist, I think Jackie's on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She's always depended on Roseanne as a moderator for her emotions and life. Now she has to manage her own emotions and she's obviously not too good at it. She's unmarried with no friends, with her elderly mother living with her (who she can't stand) and no job prospects (well, now the Lunchbox). Plus the dynamics have changed with Becky - her niece is now her partner and seeming like a pretty smart one as well. I'm still hoping something happens for Jackie that ties into her past - either Andy coming back for a visit or perhaps Fred popping in briefly. I really enjoy when the current show gets tied into the past.

Perhaps the Fool Plaintiff was wanting a specific kind of birthing experience rather than focusing on the big picture - a healthy mom and baby. Besides all those specially birthed babies grow up and are eating boogers at the park with the Epidurally-birthed kids anyway. I hate those caller-outers, even if they are justified. It's like going to the movies and people are yelling at the screen throughout the movie. Oh and get off my lawn.

Y'all are my spirit animals. I am one of those random people that sings ALL THE TIME. I swear I should have been born in the 50s when all the musicals came out. I gave birth to two children, one who is very rigid and easily embarrassed but my second is just like me and we used to grocery shop and toss things into the cart while we were dancing randomly to "Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go". No pharmaceutical help involved. I refuse to use my cane at work so when I come in from the employee parking lot I have to step up on a very high curb and I use my co-worker's car to boost me up EVERY DAY. I always have my hand on her hood. That's what she gets for parking right by the door. The midwife case confused me - how could a midwife GUARANTEE to be at the birth of the Dracula-inspired Mother? It's common practice for midwives to have back-up for this exact reason.
