It was okay. Like everything else in the ANW world, youth rules. It's seems like there is some real tension between "Super-Mom" Sandy Zimmerman, and her husband. They never had any affectionate moments between them, and the body language was stiff and off-putting. No encouraging the other, no running to each other when it was done. Only perfunctory closeness. Combined with the over-saturation of her marketing by ANW, and her quick out on the last special (2nd obstacle?), maybe we've seen the last of her.

I'll watch, but with liberal use of the FF button.

Listen to the podcast. They directly addressed 26 days vs 39 days this week. In length.

At the CBS upfronts, the head of the network made it very very clear this was their final decision. For all the reasons you said (although he didn't say it out loud).

When they renewed BB for this last season, they gave it 18 episodes, and then split them over two "TV seasons". The first ten are airing this spring, with the final one this Friday. Then in the fall, they will air the final eight, date TBD. So even though it seems like two short seasons to us, it's one longer, split season in reality. The reason is money: They don't have to renegotiate contracts for another season (and salaries) if they call it one split season.

Disagree. There are a lot of TS fans, male & female, young & old. You'd be surprised how many. Or maybe you wouldn't, look at her stats. I'm an older, white male, and a TS fan. I can name 30-40 songs easy. Grateful Dead or Jimmy Buffett? I could name either's entire song catalog, start to finish.

Jeff addressed this on the podcast. They fly out a chef from Applebee's, along with all the ingredients.

Quote of the week! PS: Me too.

Yes, it's clear they wrote that scene to keep us in the dark. We know there's corruption now. But we don't know if the Captain is involved. This gives the writers leeway to take the story where they want. One thing that's a little odd, but doesn't really matter. The Captain has his own "charity" and philanthropic fund. A couple episodes ago they had a fancy event at a fund-raiser for his charity/fund. Police captains aren't dime a dozen, but they are not remotely high up enough to have charities & funds. Unless he or his wife come from (or have) money, in which case all bets are off.

I've been (indirectly) involved in one of these suits, so I learned a lot about them. There are lawyers who specialize in this sort of kinda-scam, but they would never, NEVER do it fraudulently. It's way too easy to find or create a legit case. No lawyer would risk their livelihood by using fakes and stolen identities. Having said this, I'm sure there are a few crooks out there, but they're truly idiots, considering how easy it is to make a legit case. There are exceptions in the ADA laws for many small businesses, usually under 15 employees. They don't have to provide the same level of assistance as larger companies. And as you point out, most businesses don't have to have public bathrooms. Also, they said something about rear exit I think. ADA can usually be satisfied with a single handicap access entrance. None of it made sense, including beating the lawyer, then hanging himself. But it's a typical BB story line.

Jeff talked about this--his rambling, and shutting up--extensively in this week's podcast.

Yes, they dropped it. It was mentioned in one of the podcasts.

FWIW, tomato juice does not work. It masks the smell (temporarily), but does not eliminate it. Having had multiple dogs skunked over the years, the only thing that works is a mix of peroxide, baking soda, and dishwashing liquid. Google it. I didn't have a problem with Shred's attraction to that woman. She's cute, seemed like a great personality, and they also seemed to mesh right away. We may see her again.

Wanada 🤣

By her request. She wants to try new things. She doesn't want to be pigeonholed playing a 13 year old kid. I think she's 15/16 in real life, and wants to try some other things in the acting world. Good for her, turning down easy money for a real challenge.

Agree. Will Sasso is killing it, and they aren't even giving him that much to do. Rachel Bay Jones is playing the mom. She's a superb actor, and has won an Emmy, Grammy, Tony (three of the four EGOT). I remember her best from God Friended Me, the first time I saw her on TV. Then she was on United States of Al. She's clearly a good actor, but she's being written as a harpy. A little too much, if you ask me.

It could be better worse: he could be a Deadhead. They never shut up! 🤣

They have not said a word about it this season. But knowing Chuck Lorre, he could pull it out in the finale, maybe Bob & Abi move to wherever med school is. Or knowing Chuck Lorre, we may never hear it again.

Anna Sawai, the actor who plays Mariko, will be on Stephen Colbert tonight (Monday). Sorry for the late notice.

HUGE mistake in this episode. Sharon says her grandmother only subscribes to the paper to line her Cockatoo's bird cage. But at the end, he hands Nell a cage with a cockatiel in it. How can I keep watching with glaring mistakes like this?!? 😏

I thought she was pushed out the window by her husband.

Young Sheldon would not be a hit sitcom if it was a "much darker and more depressing show". While the showrunners have done a decent job with continuity, they have said more than once that they are more interested in making a great show, than in following the fine print of the BBT bible. And good for them, because otherwise it wouldn't have lasted one season.

I thought it was an excellent start. Has me completely hooked. I have not read the books.

One thing that bugged me about that... Anthony had already walked away from the table, he was going to get the car. The shooter bursts it, yells at the table, and starts firing. Anthony shoots him because he's standing away from the action. Wouldn't the shooter aim at Anthony, and not the table (since he's not sitting there)? That didn't make sense to me. I need to go back and watch that scene again. I'm saying all this from memory, maybe it was laid out different than I remember.

Maybe it was different on various sources (HBO vs MAX or other?). There was a warning both before & after each episode for me (MAX).
