I so agree with everything you've said. It seems that Jeremy and family are staying away as well. I know Zach was hurt by Matt and in retrospect he should have not have had Caryn there. She wasn't his wife or even engaged to Matt and had no standing in the family except as "Dad's girlfriend"...you know the one Dad was with when he was still married to MOM! I do see why Zach is still upset with Matt...all those years Matt was yapping about leaving the farm to the kids and keeping it in the family for as long as possible and then he decides..."never mind!" And Matt will never own up to pulling a fast one on his sons. However...Zach needs to understand that his father is not the kind of guy to say he's sorry and admit any kind of wrong doing. It's just not in his make up. Having said all that...Zach and Tori have moved on and seem to be settling into life in another state. Maybe in time they can reconcile and go to the farm once or twice a year. Both Zach and Matt seem hard headed. I agree with Amy though...having the house as an ARBNB and having random people come in there and dirty it up and break appliances and cookware seems kind of disrespectful and sad. Matt got greedy and thought he could sell the farm in a matter of days...NOT! Now he's stuck with a big house and can't unload it. As for Jackson...Zach and tori seem to be in a total state of denial about his legs. The bowing of his legs and the pressure on his feet which now seem disfigured seems to not compute with them. If he goes to a Christian School it might be easier for him... I think he will have a very rough time in a regular public school.

I agree...Jacob decided to start the clean up and didn't consult Matt or Caryn on what should be done. It should. She should have gone to preschool when she turned three. She's already behind other children her age.

Separate bank accounts are not uncommon with younger married couples. Both my daughter and son who are married have separate bank accounts from their spouses. At first my husband and I were a little weirded out about this but as we talked to other people our age we heard that their married children were doing the same thing...but I think in this case, Amy probably has more money then Chris.

Right??? That beautiful dog is ignored for the most part. Zach borders on animal abuse when he interacts with him and Tori just outright ignores him and she was the one that threatened to withhold sex from Zach unless he agreed to get another Bernese Mountain dog.

OMG!! Lilah will need her legs straightened but Jackson is just fine??? His bowed legs are worse than ever. I still maintain that Lilah might be on the Spectrum with high functioning autism. Her speech delay, her meltdowns and lack of coordination...all markers of autism. They would be well advised to get her tested ASAP. Early detection and therapy is key for a child to lead a healthy and happy life. Unfortunately, they will not do this...as long as Lilah is amusing them when she falls or trips over something.

I wish the writers had delved more into Jackie's mental health issues...to me it appeared by her behaviors that she was bipolar. Highs,mania, hypo sexuality and hypo mania followed by melancolia. Substance abuse baked into her DNA makes everything worse...not better when she drinks/drugs. Ray is a hot mess...I hope this show has another season.

First of all...Lilah should NEVER have been placed in a dance class with older girls. She's a toddler! When my daughter was 4 we enrolled her in a beginners introduction to dance for 4-5 year olds. It was a preschool oriented class with the county rec center and it was great. No way that poor little girl should have been in a program like that. She was set up for failure. Zach and Tori treat Lilah like a second class citizen...she's to be laughed at, ridiculed for her phyical shortcomings and stumbles and falls. Jackson is still the King and Golden Boy...he pushes Lilah down and doesn't get disciplined...he's a part of the critiquing Lilah and he always has to be praised for everything he does. It's sad and pathetic.

Hey...showrunners for FBI: Most Wanted....I have complained about this before but Tuesday's episode had me in a tither...Nina was wearing LEATHER (tight) pants while tracking down a killer in a remote rural area in the snow. It's bad enough that Remy is wearing a dress coat common amongst Wall Street brokers and Madison Ave executives but LEATHER pants? No one in an FBI field operation would be dressed like this...why can't you put some authenticity in these episodes? I mean,come on...leather pants in the snow? They were so tight she could barely run in them. I get that you have targeted this character as the sexy gal, but at the expense of some modicum of realism, this is just ridiculous.

But Jane Fonda is the daughter of Henry Fonda...one of Hollywood's much beloved iconic actors.

And Newman earned it too...I liked Ghandi too but my personal favorite that year was Newman. I feel the Academy most of the time avoids giving Oscars to actors who are politically left of center. Case in point, in 1970 Wayne was nominated for Best Actor in "True Grit" as Dustin Hoffman, John Voight, Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton...what a who's who of great actors! Even the Academy admitted they voted for Wayne out "sentiment" and acknowledged his performance in True Grit was more or less similar to his other cowboy type roles he had done many times before. Dustin Hoffman was brilliant in Midnight Cowboy...what a great movie that was too.

Yeah... Kingsley gave a great performance but I felt that Newman really put it all out there in his portrayal of a down and out ambulance chaser in over his head with a case where he is up against a large big name law firm with money and other resources at their disposal. But that's just my personal preference. And yes...Newman continued acting until his health was failing...but, in my opinion, none those other roles could match his performance in The Verdict. Thus I called The Verdict his swan song.

Personally, I would have liked Paul Newman to have gotten the Oscar for Best Actor in Slap Shot...best hockey movie ever.

I recorded the Academy Awards but only watched a about 30 minutes of it. I guess I am offically an old person now because I just can't sit through all the self serving speeches and other schtick. Also, I only saw one of the movies that were nominated. Just a word about this awards show...so many great films have been nominated as well as actors but never receive best picture best actor/actress. I'll never forget when Paul Newman got passed over for best actor for The Verdict and Ben Kingsley got it for Gandhi. Both were deserving but Paul Newman's performance was his swan song and was outstanding. I felt the Academy was being political for their choice...Newman was active politically and was a great champion of civil rights, women's rights and a pacifist. Kingsley was the safer choice. This has been the MO for the Academy for a long time. Generally speaking they are older more conservative members and vote that way much of the time. I am always disappointed by the choices of the Academy and wonder why I bother to watch them or even record the show. Finally...there are so many awards shows that are on television leading up to the Oscars that it is almost overload...I often wonder why they need to have so many awards shows and so much self adulation. Well... the awards season is finally over and I say YAY!

This episode was kind of heart wrenching. David had alot of trauma...his childhood was terrible. A 22 year age difference between him and his brother is almost unbelievable...how would he and his brother ever be bonded brothers with that age difference? His parents favored his brother over him and then his brother's partner molested him? OMG! No wonder he became a hoarder...I would have recommended he get therapy ASAP. His wife was a nightmare...spoiled brat princess who gave me the vibe of being possibly an abuser. She was just awful in every way. His grandchildren shouldn't have been there...the boy seemed genuinely saddened and depressed seeing the hoard. He and his sister should not have been a part of the clean up...they are too young to process this properly.

I think the Remy's brother arc has run its course...move on.
