I'm watching it on USA Network in Canada which was recently acquired by CTV and there's a shitload of ads and promos.

Yes. Same. I'm like nope that's not the sound and I don't need to hear it when it happens. Surprised it took until the fourth hour/episode for a transgender patient to show up but at least it's presented better than the god awful way of medical shows in the 90s and early 2000s. I think House was the worst but they were all bad. The ratio of content to ads is outrageous. Will have to time it out one of these weeks.

I realize I'm on an island but I like Santos. And being an introvert she would destroy me. But I still like her. I get her. And in my own defense, the autistic doctor wants to be her friend as well. Lol And in her own abrasive way Santos does help the others. As she pointed out to Whitaker the guy's death wasn't his fault and though it sucks, it will be way worse when it is. The one that I think is trouble is Javadi. I get the impression she maybe doesn't want to be a doctor but mom is pushing her. There's something up with her. I don't trust her. She's hiding something. I didn't buy her explanation on why she wanted to know more about Dr. McKay.

I was going to comment on this but having not watched any of her shows I didn't know if that's just the way she is. Yes. I noticed an over the top laughtrack with The Connors as well. It's too bad because there is nothing like the spontaneous eruption of an audience in laughter aka Everybody Loves Raymond. It feels now too like shows just take an "insert laughter here" approach as opposed to actually listening and enhancing where it's necessary. Probably easier and cheaper.

Better than the first episode. I did laugh a couple of times. The tool demo to make Matt relate to anxiety was effective and funny. I felt it! Lol I'm too lazy to look up their names but I think both the young actors playing Riley's kids are quite good and I'm enjoying both of their characters. I think if the show can continue to present political views with humour and not preaching and focus equally on the characters growing and learning as a family it might just survive. **The laugh track is HORRENDOUS.

I hope not because House was an asshole.

I noticed the same thing. I was wondering if it might be AI. I've noticed this with commercials as well. The days are gone I guess of really emmersive sets that make you believe you are actually in a character's apartment. At least for me anyway. Many shows now have an "odd" feel to me. And I agree with respect to the canned laughter being over the top. It is present on the Connors as well. I've given up trying to understand how tptb on any production do not appreciate how irritating this is.

Oh yes. The return of incel boy will be epically horrific. Maybe in the finale. IRL I'm pretty sure the authorities could have been notified about him at least for a chat considering the mom found essentially a manifest of the girls he wants to "eliminate." I just chalked it up to television drama writing why they weren't. The mom desperately trying again to call her son contrasted with the other mom wailing in grief at the impending loss of hers made for an affective closing scene.

"Not ER" is one of the best shows I've watched in a while. I'm very much in.

I will too. I like Seann William Scott. He can do much better than what he was given here. With respect to this episode, the scene where we learn what happened to the mom was well done but the rest of the episode just felt like one long anti-woke rant. We'll see.

I'm in for now if for no other reason than I'm old and the pace of this show suits me. I'm not straining to decipher dialogue through some ridiculous soundtrack or reaching for gravol to counteract tilt a whirl camera work. So there's that. However, none of these characters are overly likable so the next episode better bring it in the form of a reason for me to stay beyond sensory.

For some reason I had thought Allen was a Trumptard but he isn't, he's an old school Republican according to Wiki anyway. I was going to watch this show regardless as I'm desperate for something funny but now I feel better about it at least.

When I first saw her I didn't recognize her. I just thought wow that singer is muscular. Then I clued in when I heard her name. Guess Snoop figures he doesn't need musical help just inspirational. If they are going to carry this many people to this round they should put 3 through. It's too big of a cut to me anyway.

I don't understand why Snoop Dog's team doesn't rehearse in the studio with the band like the other teams. That's the "coaching" part of the show.

The stuff with Jake for sure. I thought that too. I think it's the tone of the show more than intentionally being dismissive but for sure I felt this too. I'm still trying to process my reaction. I think for me I'm just tired of the anger in general of the time we are living in right now. I can't turn on the news without seeing angry people protesting or the political craziness or the economy or whatever. I'm also older now so I have that perspective. The funny thing is the most annoying character is supposed to be Bob and he actually grew on me. He just is who he is. Doesn't worry about being anything more. And sometimes he can be kind of sweet in his own weird way. Plus I love how he talks about himself in the third person. You could be right about too many episodes at once.
