Oh! That would make some sense, but I heard it as "bigly," too.

I gave this a shot against my better judgment, because there's a reason I never watched Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy or Breaking Bad -- too stressful and upsetting. The show is well made but in the end, these are horrible people with creepy incest-adjacent family dynamics and my heart was already pre-breaking for J. The opening scene of J sitting blankly on the couch, unable to feel any emotion as the paramedics try to save his dying mother already made me cry, and that was 10 seconds in.

The overly excited and hyper music, lights, set design, and Anthony Anderson's manic delivery were dealbreakers for me.

An interview with the Kings discussed why there are different reactions to the bugs. It was kind of shown in the premiere but is spoilered as a precaution:

Sine spoilers about the series as a whole from the Kings.

Maybe the show prohibits them from mentioning it, but how is it possible that some of these patients haven't sued their previous surgeons for malpractice? The ones who didn't jet off to foreign countries, anyway. My bias is that I would kill to have small breasts (vs large saggy ones) so the women who want their small chests stuffed with grapefruit sized implants make me cross. Although I'm not sympathetic to most of these patients, so there's that.

Is James Carville still a thing? I'm a Democrat and am sick of him. As a show of bipartisanship, I feel the same about Mary Matalin.

Be fun if the Libertarians had nominated the spittle-spewing, Doc Brown-resembling candidate Darryl Perry, just to reassure me that there are lunatics other than Trump supporters.

I took issue with the notion that a Senator would be washing his own sheets. Do we know why Smithsonian guy burst? None of the other infected have.

About 10 years ago I lived next door to a vet who worked at a specialty dental clinic. At the time I was like, "is that really a thing?"

What was Esme wearing? I was a teen in the 60s and would have bought Joyce's hot pink smock if it had been available to me. I still retain my fondness for bright colors and patterns. I really wanted one of the sewers to add a belt to her (preferably mustard yellow) coat so I could live vicariously: Yes, that's her hat on my mother's lap.

Hey! I used to live in Melanesia! That's as good a reason as any to like the show, I guess. After rejecting a couple of recent series with sadsack leads, I enjoyed Laurel being competent and intelligent and am curious to see what happens next. Definite season pass. I could have done with the scaaary alien creatures looking less like the stars of Antz.

In the article I read about how women now make up the majority of vets, one said when she first started in the 70s, there were farmers who didn't allow her in the barn for calvings or the like, saying it wasn't proper for a woman to see those things. Thanks for the recommendation. I just spent a few hours catching up on old episodes and getting teary. I feel bad for Dr. Noel working until midnight or beyond to finish all his surgeries. Get some sleep, dude! I was thinking the show maybe doesn't require as much of a time commitment from him as some of the U.S. series because it's heavily narrated and he doesn't really do a lot of talking head interviews. The other vet Padraig did in the episodes I saw, though. The clinic and 200 employees puts even Planned Pethood to shame on the frantic pace scale. I was amazed by the full time nurses who care for the animals post-op; Dr. Noel seems to follow the human medicine model on everything.

No adoptions from all the tours!? That's a crazy statistic. So it's all just curiosity seekers who likely don't donate much, either. Blech.

Does someone with more experience know why the bulldog on Vet Life wasn't just scheduled for the C-section instead of waiting for her to begin labor? Seems like waiting increases the chance that one of the pups will get stuck in the birth canal.

I used to work in a health field that required a certain number of continuing ed units per year in order to maintain my license. You'd think the hospital that employed me would pay for me to attend those workshops, but no. Had to use my own money and vacation time.

I don't know if any bridal stores do this, but the show Something Borrowed, Something New shows viewers a single shot of the brides wearing the (of course) three dresses. The side-by-side comparison is hugely helpful and I imagine it would be a boon to brides who are on the fence. Not at all difficult to do these days with a smart phone and color printer, either. It also give a good preview of what the bride will look like in the wedding photographs, which is slightly different than what she looks like in person.

What a scathing summation! Hats off to Michael Arnovitz of Portland OR.

People can be so shitty, you know? I understood the problems Tia had in CA but it isn't clear to me why she sometimes seems to be at loggerheads with the police in New Orleans. Maybe they get a lot of complaints about VRC from people who think the shelter has their dogs or when they take abused dogs from homes. Tia can be pretty truculent in defense of animals.

Unlike their characters, they share the same political and social beliefs IRL so I like to imagine them laughing and hanging out and mocking Trump. ;)

I love Saturdays and animal TV! That said, I was giving the side eye to several things this week. Vet Life I don't suppose I'm the first person to wonder about dogs who have been deliberately bred with characteristics that prohibit them from giving birth, so I'll only say that those puppies looked huge for such a small mother! No wonder the typical litter is only 2-3. I like the on-screen updates at the end of the show. It was good that those two young guys had given the snake back to its breeder once it got so big -- if that segment was even real in the first place. Along with Dr. Chris, I think this show seems most apt to create artificial situations. Dr. Blue seems like a nice enough person but I'm going to have to lower my expectations if I continue to watch (which okay, I will). There could have been two more animal cases in lieu of all the dude ranch stuff and watching him fix breakfast for his kids. It was funny how Blue's wife completely shut down the idea of him bringing home one of the puppies: Ain't happening, goodbye. Dr. Chris I'm fine with seeing how a tiger gets a root canal or whatever, but please don't pretend Chris was there in any capacity except as an observer, and strictly because of the show. Same with the snake catching last week, or being called out to help a wild swan. If he stayed in the clinic where he actually works at least I'd be spared hearing him explain every week how he's never done X before. Dr. K The ferret owner who didn't even name his two "much loved" pets because he couldn't tell them apart? Oy. And that's not even mentioning that one of them almost starved to death under his/his mother's care. Not sure I was totally buying his story of non-involvement. Beak surgery on parrots -- who knew? It was kind of horrifying to see all those teeth practically falling out by themselves on Dr. K's dad's dog. You'd think somebody in a medical capacity who has been treating him all his life would have raised the alarm about his teeth before they got to such a bad state.... Dr. Jeff The puppy with the cleft palate was a sad case. It seemed like the owners were sincere in their concern, but tube feeding a tiny animal does not seem like something untrained people could/should attempt at home -- the danger of pushing formula into the lungs seemed pretty high. Aw, the French bulldog (?) with the wound on his knee was so happy to be reunited with the grandma and grandson after surgery. The owner brushed off the accident but it must have been pretty severe for her to be in the hospital for two weeks. I felt heartsick for her in advance because considering the dog's age and heart problems, it doesn't seem like he's long for this world.

As the series went on, Debra couldn't even make a sandwich! Although I did laugh when Ray made a deal in the episode where he and Debra try to be nicer to each other: "I throw this out... and you can call me an idiot."

I honestly didn't understand his bashing of Stonestreet's portrayal as being stereotypical because there are two gay men in that marriage and the show is actually presenting a range of behaviors. Is it the rule that zero gay men on TV can have effeminate characteristics, because that's not true to life either. Would Noah would have been less offended if Jesse Tyler Ferguson was playing the stereotypical role? Jay Ferguson no doubt meant well but he should stay out of it in public. That tweet read to me as very condescending. I also take (small) issue with people calling Noah a kid. He's an adult, although a young one, but I wouldn't attribute any of his comments to not knowing any better because of his age. He certainly should.

My first thought was, "You'll have to be more specific." ;)
