Agree! I had hoped Meemaw's gambling room AND Mandy were one trick pony type things, but nooo, here we are with a show that is proving to be the worst of YS.

So TRUE! One time I took my car to a mechanic for new brakes. Once the job was completed I noted that the brakes were making a weird noise. The mechanic tried to placate me by telling me "they had to break in." My husband (then boyfriend) went to the mechanic himself and told him that even l didn't believe that nonsense! The mechanic just knowlingly laughed. He fixed my brakes again, but I never went back to him again.

Shows what life was like pre-Covid. ☹️ No one thought about isolating, etc.

This.👆 The Georgie and Mandy storyline was my least favorite trajectory of entie YS series. Other storylines that were way more interesting just vanished, *poof* into thin air, never to be seen or heard from again.

It grossed me out watching Georgie sneezing in everyone’s face and inspecting the mucus in his hanky. I had such high hopes for the George & Georgie scenes. I thought they could have been so tender and endearing. Disappointed. Didn’t think Mandy’s new dress was appropriate for a tv weather girl. It looked more like a dress she’d wear clubbing.

Agreed! None of the characters are likable. I thought I liked Jim well enough, but even he is becoming a jerk.

I guess everyone was watching the hockey game! 😂

Audrey is a grating character to begin with, even in small doses. Now that the series centered around the Mandy family household, Audrey in large doses is worse.

I agree with this! BTW, I like your avatar Astrohip! 😆 I started this season "trying" to enjoy this show, but now I am truly "struggling" to enjoy it. None of the characters are particularly pleasant, although I liked Mandy's father for the most part until last week. He was kind of a jerk with that made-up convention weekend for the last 10 years. I hate seeing Audrey and Mary constantly at each other's throats, especially over something so ridiculous. I didn't like Pastor Jeff in YS, and the only consolation seeing him in this series is that he is slightly less unlikable than the rest of the characters.

I am struggling to get into this show. They had a tough act to follow, and maybe that's part of it. Now that the first half of Season 1 has aired, do you think this show will be extended to a second season?

My condolences, Browncoat. My father died 20 years ago and this episode made it feel raw, even after all these years.

Poignant scene, but this show has been a drag for a long time. Like when they killed off Brian Griffin.

I guess with the haste to end this show, it was nice that they tied up some loose ends, such as Abishola's desire to become a doctor, Dele's dance career, Christina's in vitro, and Bob selling the company to Goodwin. Jumping ahead seven years, though, felt like they forgot to show us a couple of seasons. It was kind of sad in that respect. Bob and Abishola's relationship never really meshed, and it culminated with Bob's retirement and Abishola becoming a newly-minted doctor. They were always on completely different trajectories, and it ended the same way. All's well that ends well, I suppose, but It was unsettling seeing all the bickering between Kemi and Chukwuemeka. What struck me most was the weight loss of Billy Gardell throughout the series. Episode to episode, it was more gradual. With the flashbacks of Billy in earlier seasons, it was quite dramatic.

Agree, I thought that was silly for Sheldon to use the chicken coop rather than the bushes. I suppose it was just so Jim Parson's could deliver his line afterwards.

I think this show jumped the shark when Bob bought the boat.
