  1. Not disagreeing there. I had two bills taken out and I was paid the next day. My mortgage decided to come out two days late and I got an email saying: "You are late on your payment!" I was like: "no, it fell on a Sunday and you took until Tuesday Night to take it out. How is it late?
  2. This is not going to be Tyra's come back in any shape or form. She just can't do it, she is screwing up way, way too much.
  3. Plus, Morris sitting there doing nothing. I mean they just had a major disaster happen outside their front doors and he is still there. No one takes him or anything. Same with how everyone was acting: "Where's Ramono?" Well, I know it's chaos, but come on, you see this, people saw him going outside, well.. Duh! I know Grimes later said after the series ended: "I hated my character in the first few episodes, he should have been fired for the dumb things he did."
  4. In this case and despite what happened, Tim Allen and everyone are saying: "Yeah, it's time to we wrap up the show." Tim Allen said years later, that while they had stories for a 9th season, they felt it was starting run out of steam. Season 9 more to wrap up the series for the actors, as they felt they didn't get that with COVID-19 happening. They only filmed 25% of the last episode and now scrapped it with just a few flashbacks when they return in season 9. It's "We are done" vs "No, this isn't fair and I'm done."
  5. Interesting how Home Improvement went off the air because Allen didn't find it fair he was getting paid more than Richardson. Now with Last Man Standing it's because Fox is done, ratings are down and Allen is: "Yeah, time to move on." When they were possibly going to end a year before ABC knocked them off the air. Attitudes change in 20 years.
  6. My problem is, this is like "celebrity charity" than "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Yes, it's true seeing people who go: "I watched this at home and think I can do better and I really can't." The show was great not because of Regis, but because of average people being on. Friend of mine was on back in 99. I had two friends almost get on in 2000. Every time I see this I want to go: "How about us teachers who need money for funding?" or how about: "I'm playing for a community to get them going." Not that one charity is more important than another, but this just doesn't work in the long term.
  7. It was also very telling of everything Mark thought about growing up was completely untrue. Even his mother saying it did more damage in the long run. Even to the point of why he was an only child and that while Mark's father gave up a lot for him and his mother, but he was proud of him and who he became. That in my opinion was probably one of the best arcs for the characters' personal lives. Doug's was kind of sad, but you understood. However, Carter's as it went more and more into John's life, I'm sorry, but it was really screwed up and I think at one point. The writers didn't know who to make a cast members life more pathetic. Benton's was just confusing because his family acted like he had control over everything and he didn't and no matter how much he tried to show why he couldn't. They still were clueless. Ramono, they never went into his background of what turned him into such an ego driven ass, but still had some heart about him. Abby's was beaten over our heads and so was Luka's. Sam's was a nightmare and Susan's they just wanted to go: "Let's really show how much her life sucks." It was like they were trying to one-up a characters tragic life and then didn't think for a second: "Wait, this isn't actually possible."
  8. I remember when they had a guy in a costume going around keeping them out of shopping isles. There were a few episodes where the actor would just stay there and then jump between isles. It lasted like 5 episodes before apparently they told the actors they were keeping the contestants from playing the game. I do agree about the coffee grounds, there was an episode where the machine broke during the sweep and the team lost out as a result. I did crack up when she told him: "Give me the damn roses!"
  9. Yep, I agree. I saw way too many people connected by a past tragedy that seem to keep them spinning. Or just one side. My parents had a tenant years ago who's ex trying to get money out of him. They both lost a child together and still had one through shared custody. He NEVER missed alimony or any child support. Yet, she: didn't work, constantly threw their dead child in his face and even talked about how her father who died as they divorced was still entangled and she "needed him" to clean it up. The ex's boyfriend finally told her to get over it, he had no stake in anything and he had tried to set up job interviews at his company for her. Yet her excuse was: "But we lost a baby together." Police got called on her and arrested when she broke and entered my parents' duplex and she lost custody of their kid as a result. The boyfriend left her and she ended up moving in with a relative in Florida! Some people just can't move on, but at the same time, Carter and Kem had lives they were happy with professionally, their relationship just never ever, made any sense post Joshua.
  10. Right I agree, I feel Gaspi was trying to "magically" make things happen and it just WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. It reminds me in the old episode of Now and Then where Sela Ward's character had to deal with her brother who had sears of scizo problems and his home nurse kept going: "He's getting better." You wanted to smack her and go: "No he isn't, in fact he can't function, he tried, he couldn't and only our father's pension has kept his care going and we can't. Fuck you!"
  11. Pretty much. Losing a child is something that stays with you, but I think Carroll O'Conner said it best himself: "It's something you truly never get over, but if you let it dominate your life, that is no life to live."
  12. Honestly, Kem could go disappear in the fog and the only person that would miss her would be her mother. The character started off cliche and ended just as bad. I do feel bad for Newton, she tried.
  13. By this point in time, it seemed that Emily's company were just oblivious that you know it was the 21st century. Marketing had change, they had someone who did know how social marketing worked, the 4 Es and Marketing Mix in a more "in your face" instant approval or disapprove and just refused to change. It was funny until episode 3 and now they all look like stuck in the 1990s morons. Sure, delete your Instagram account. Yes, Emily is popular due to being where she is, but she is using it to her advantage and other companies notice. This company would have gone out of business years ago even by European standards.
  14. Right up to how their parents talk about how their lives are not how they SHOULD BE, but then go on to say: "Well, that's not your fault." Even after Logan was injured in one of the LDB stunts. I could so see Straub doing the same thing if Christopher would have done something similar. AS-P was just bent on saying: "See, even though she is smart, Rory has the same luck and taste in men just like her mother. You can't escape your past." No shit AS-P, but at the same time you NEVER... ONCE Show anyone learning from it.
  15. Considering what Emily specializes in, it's actually a perfect fit.
  16. No kidding and they were basically trying to re invent the show with the exchange student and then focusing SO MUCH on Kristin and Ryan's second child it was: "Boyd who?"
  17. Yep, AS-P's taste in men or at least what she considers "the type" are a bunch of self absorbed assholes, who blame everyone for their problems, but themselves. Then everyone tells them: "Yep, it's not your fault." enabling their behavior even more. Or just another day in Stars Hollow, why dumbasses like Taylor continue to sink their town into bankruptcy and people like Mitchum exist.
  18. Geoff Johns talks about Eclipso being very different from the Injustice Society.
  19. I also heard that there will be some updates to Beth's costume too. I'm hoping this means the black out bombs that were a signature weapon of Dr. Mid-nite.
  20. We knew that COVID-19 put he mortgage situation on hold, but where did their stimulus money go? Unless that gets cleaned up in like 15 minutes with everyone just chipping in and doing it.
  21. Hard to believe, it feels odd seeing these guys are not that age and how long the show was. Now, I get how my parents felt when they saw their favorite characters later in life.
  22. Right you know it's odd shows like this showed them doing this even if HIPPA was not in full effect until 2003. I reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart learns that Principal Skinner has a nut allergy and starts black mailing him. While Skinner has every right to not reveal it is he who allergic and wants all nut band products gone from the school (more common these days). However, when he sneaks into the file room to see Bart's allergy, that actually doesn't make sense. As a principal he has access to those kind of charts, he's the damn principal. You have to know student records, IEP, conditions, ect. Has been a staple since the late 90s. Yet the show treated it as if Skinner would have been screwed if he just walked and got Bart's file. Yet, here with Mark it's: "You have HIV and didn't tell anyone! How Dare you! Pee in this damn cup Carter, or your ass is back on a plane." Doesn't work like that.
  23. I think the biggest problem was, Mark was upset that Susan was gone and his ex-wife having a it "together" was hitting him like a ton of bricks. So what does he do? Decides to go hunting through records and as Kerri puts it: "This is too far, and not you at all." It was like Mark HAD to find someone else's life in shit and then expose it to make himself feel better. Makes the karma of him being beaten up by that gang member almost full circle. Then again speaking of that episode, I still like to know just how they got in, beat Mark up and then walked out without anyone checking cameras. I mean, we know it wasn't the brother who beat Mark up, but he wasn't upset it happened either, same with the parents. Their thought were: "Good, got his ass kicked thinking my baby was a loser/gang member." Then again they never went into how Mark's lawsuit just was "fixed" by the lawyer who wanted to pretend to be a doctor, yet another: "What the hell?"
  24. Junior, learn something? Nah, remember, he has to be so oblivious at times he thought when Jack told him that Devonte ordered the bouncy house, he actually believed him.
