Didn't help when they put John Ritter in Three's a Crowd years later. Thinking he could carry the show, but really didn't have much with the "new" characters. They dumped pretty much the entire cast and made Jack looking like someone who should have sold the bistro and left town. Even when there would have been a second season and Ritter saying he wanted a full season and later admitted it was because if the show only lasted 2 years they could wrap up Jack's story. Yet, they basically were: "Well, sorry you do 13 or we don't do the show." So, history repeated itself like with Fell.

It's just like when someone who is great at leadership, wants to move into administration or manager and WOULD make a great manager are given the: "You trader" look. Because people just assume you will automatically turn into an asshole, but if an asshole is promoted everyone goes: "Dammit, now we are really going to have a hard time at work." You can't have it both ways.

I still love everyone's reaction when he hit "Add a One" and it was to a 0 making it just $10. I mean, that is a first.

The wife and I were thinking the same thing. I get that people can get uncomfortable and between the lights and: "Holy crap these are real people I am a fan of." It can put things down, but other times you just want to go: "Have you either seen this show or you know TALK to people?" I mean really, the tall the woman from Chicago, I can pass the bathtub picture because between that and the Baldwin picture, those are hard things to think of answer too. As for the seagulls and the pizza, I mean come on! Tokens? Yeah, I get Tom's answer with the trash, because eat anything that is edible, but tokens? They are birds that fly over the water and the main thing they do is dive for fish, I mean come on! However, Mayberry woman and wanting to use the money to go find the Locness Monster. I think even TPTB were: "I think we need to find people who at least watch the news."

I find that very odd, since so many places like Wellman were put on shut down so fast, especially in Illinois.

I remember when they were writing this and they pretty much knew the show wouldn't be on much longer. Both Larquette and the producers wanted to get Dan back to his roots. This episode pretty much did that.

That was us in middle school, early 90s in my small town. Of course I work in an even smaller town/school no and there is no HE, that was shut down a few years ago, because the only thing the teachers were teaching the kids was how to cook mac & cheese and heat up soup. Admin warned them to get back to a more "needed culinary" approach and they wouldn't change. Then the department was shut down. Wood, welding, band and chorus are around and girls and boys love all those classes, but miss HE.

The problem was all of a sudden Molly has all this debt and of course it was: "She's a teacher, don't you get it, she's poor and she likes to go on vacation and buy over priced crap."

Yep it was: "Milo is free, quick let's bring my Jesse Boy back, just like I need my hard on for Christopher." Because that's how AS-P thought when it came to her "beloved actors". Even if NOTHING made sense.

How about when she was so upset she didn't get to move to German with her "new husband". Saying: "Thanks for ruining my life." I wanted to go: "You loved your restaurant, what the hell was there to ruin?"

It didn't help that the writers were: "Well we are tired of having them stable, let's throw in student loans, Molly saying the "hell with teaching" and losing all her benefits and even those subplots with her trying to be an assistant/vice principal. Need drama and now they are married, let's give the excuse: "We don't know how to write these characters." Or the fact they just HAD to move in with Molly's mother, which still made no sense.

The sad thing is, even in 2020, people don't seem to realize that people can't just "shut off their schedules". I mean even these days doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man in the medical field. Is the: "You are always at work." Like it's a 9 to 5 job. Same with teaching, yes, granted you can "choose" when to work on things and not, but when you have teachers teaching full grade levels higher or lower grades. It isn't like 3 PM comes and its: "Yep, done with these people today." No, you have: grading, lesson plans, meetings (faculty and department). One on one. Same with police officers and public service. Granted their are shifts, but you can get called a moments notice. or even with Lawyers, unless they are running the firm and their hours, they can't just go: "Sorry, my better half wants me home for dinner, and it this will most likely cost me my job and in turn can't pay out bills, but I'm tired of being told I work too much."

You do have to wonder, I mean the point they established a few years later was that actually, Boomhauer talks normally, but he hears everyone else in the talk. When they had Boomhauer talk about how the firehouse got burned down and he talks completely NORMAL for three minutes. Though showing his parents and his brother talk just like him. Let his dad was a doctor, his mother was a teacher and he was a Texas Ranger.

Plus it doesn't help he is a regular, so the relationship isn't going anywhere even if Geoff and Erica has no chemistry and seem constantly forced together. Plus, Erica is written to be more "It's all about me" than Bev has been the past 5 years. Despite what happened with Schooled and two of the cast members. Seriously, they should have called it quits with the Goldbergs and given Schooled another season and put these characters to rest. But you know ABC: "syndication money!"

Plus, with the "flash forwards" to get things caught up since they had bits and pieces filmed for the last few episodes before COVID shut down. I mean, I will give them a thumbs up for trying to move forward, but at the same time as many people have said: "You can't pretend the pandemic is over unless the shows are set in the past or future." For someone who use to work in health care and still have plenty of friends who work there still including my own nephew. It's a much different place that the bustling, sleeping with everyone, surgens are miracle workers, the show and Station 19 have done. I mean, are they going to also ignore the major wild fires too? Granted they did an episode on Station 19 about them, but there were DAYS where you couldn't see 4 feet in front of you and people seriously, couldn't go outside.

I think that also went along the ways of Tighe getting tired of where his character was going. I do remember at one point he told the writers: "Can't we give the guy a break for once." Though Pratt dying was the Tighe leaving the show himself. I know Grimms got sick who his character. Especially talking to him an Epilepsy fundraiser in person, he said he was really displeased after doing Band of Brothers and was excited when he got the part of ER as Morris and then "hated" what they planned on doing with him. Even saying at one point he wished they would have done his pot smoking situation that got Ramano killed exposed and he had to seek rehab or lose his license. Something that never got page one. Thought he said he was happy where Morris eventually ended up and how his and Pratt's relationship evolved from: "Man he is a screw up." To: "He's my Best friend."

Especially when he is going up the elevator and everyone realizes that's it. It's so heart breaking.

The girls look great, still boggles the mind that those episodes aired almost 25 years ago.

Right and if Rebel doesn't really take off, least she has a fall back with Connors.

Why do they all look depressed?

It is interesting how times changed. I remember even back then and watching Cheers on Netflix how much my wife and I went: "Wow, why did women just throw themselves at these guys?" It is also how times have changed, I mean 15 years ago, you could high five your students if you were a teacher or literally give them a pat on the back for doing a good job. Now its: "That's my personal space." or "I don't need to celebrate anything, just leave me alone or I'll report you!"

As a teacher, there is so much wrong with this. The bullying situation differs from school to school. Depending on: policies, history, rural/urban area, ect. If you think someone can just "use the PA" like that not have their ass thrown into some serious problems. Then this school is really a joke in any sense. Even for a stream series that is continued from a classic movie series. I seriously just HATE it when I see tv/movies just act like people in education are shown to be so stupid, they could have never gotten a teaching degree, let alone been a principal. Or act like people can just wonder around school grounds or hall ways like it's Walmart. Post Columbine, Sandy Hook, ect and now in COVID-19. Doesn't work that way no matter if you have a school of 16 students one computer working in the entire school.

Funny thing is, she actually looks like she could be related to Taylor now.

Having a casting change like that is going to be a problem. It's one thing when it's like been an episode or two, but after three years. Let's hope she can do well and we are going to always look at her as: "NuAnna-Kat".

Devonte is a character? I thought he was a plot device.
