The problem even goes back to last season where you had Louise trying to make it where Taylor was going to fail her American Idol audition. Because Katie and Greg were all: "You need to go to college." First forgetting about her IQ or even life skills. Then right after she decided to do it, Greg was all: "You know how much this is going to cost us?" Like he, a college professor didn't think of it. Even more, why not just have Taylor go locally and get a discount for Greg working for the University? I mean, Trip is talking about trade/auto school, which you know he be great at. The only difference is his parents would throw money to get him out of the house. I am very TIRED of the writers still having Oliver say: "I'm hoping my REAL family will come get me." Just drop it! Even someone Oliver's age would go buy an Ancestry Kit by now and do a DNA test by now. Plus, they even just a few episodes ago had Oliver admit his former Harry Potter obsession, ect. I'm very happy the writers are letting Taylor, Oliver and Anna-Kat grow as characters. However, they have to stop throwing out those lines. Plus, you know that Greg and Katie are going to be alerted by the college that Taylor was accepted. Also, yes, colleges STILL send Large envelopes for acceptance and emails with 7 attachments too.

The falling into the grave is not only so stupid, but how Abby's brother got himself in that kind of position to do that, made NO SENSE! Not to mention the aftermath. Then let's add in the helicopter moment and everything around Grimes character. First of all, basically he got his ass saved when the helicopter killed Ramano. Yet, he didn't smell like pot? He was apparently more focused? Seriously? And NO ONE with all their: "Where is Dr. Ramano" Didn't think for a second, wait? He was just outside, what if he got killed or injured as a result of the helicopter exploding. Plus, the way the wind shifted the way it did for the helicopter to just spin out of control like that. Was the pilot fresh out of school? Never made ANY sense.

HE was better depicted on Grown-ish. You think that clue TPTB and ship him over there because either Bow acts like he wants Junior to just die or you want to beat the guy with: "What the hell is wrong with you?"

The reason why the twins were introduced to the show was because Brenda Hampton's sister HAD twins and she was: "Hey what a great idea." When by the the youngest children were still you know, young. They pulled this: "We need more kids on the show." Even though the show did last, everyone for years from the day they were born to the quads who played the twins (one was actually deaf) acted like they had special needs. Then add in some of the crap Ruthie did with them and you wanted to go: "Where are child services?"

I actually enjoyed 7th Heave the first three seasons. It wasn't great writing, but it wasn't bad. However, as soon as Brenda H went to war with Jessica Biel and then they put in the twins and also with Ruthie: "I can never anything." The show went off the rails and also how Hampton continued saying how they were: "The #1 show for the network." Which was a lie, as Smallville over passed them and Everwood was only a few spots behind. Keeping the show on 10 years to "honor" Aaron Spelling was such BS and then bringing the show back for an 11th season when majority of the cast moved on or filmed like 2 days a week just proved why the show, SHOULDN'T have been on 10 years. 5 at the best.

Yet, if the Westport husbands just went: "Ok then, then I'll quick my job and we can be poor and you will have NOTHING." That would fix them REALLLY FAST! Instead they just throw money at them to go away and they rather just have "hot wives" to sleep with on occasion.

Right, like the show wants us to forget WHY Junior ran away from school after just his first 24 hours. Junior is afraid to really go out and do something that could mean he WOULD do great in his life. Instead of waiting for some special break to set him for life. Zoey took her "college freedom" too to heart and got herself screwed. Jack and Diane are just lazy or Jack can't be written to be either: "stupid, just naive or lazy." PICK ONE!

I know, it felt like a classic episode.

Legally and academically, she is SUPPOSE to be going back to Hong Kong. If the writers and producers were "smart" they would just say: "The exchange is that you graduate THIS YEAR and then you head home." To wrap it up in a logical way since they are so hell bent on keeping a character, the audience and critics really don't like. In fact, even the writers show they DON'T know what to do with her character. Trying to make her Vanessa's Eve is not only stupid, it's insulting.

Saw the season 4 finale on Laff, which is where you see the "old Jill" before she would turn towards really being like Fred. Least with her relationship with Carrie you can understand, but when Tim brings up the problems with Carrie. Then Jill fires back with: "Why are you attacking my sister?" Tim of course goes: "I thought that's what we were doing." Tim brought up all the good points that Jill's side of the family is more hating and doing more annoying things than Tim's side. Plus, this was showing Jill and Nancy's relationship the best before of course things would come crashing down later on. HI really had it's stride in season 4 and while season 5 was still great, you start to see it starting to turn into problems. With Bud coming on the show, Benny the mooch and Marty entering: "Man child mode" and Jill going: "Dammit, Tim! Don't you know I moved 8 times growing up and we just give my father what he wants even though he complains about everything?"

Sadly, they are bad at "taking care of the children". Especially when said children now have brains and are like: "You know mom, I would like to eat meat instead of you telling me it's bad." or "You know what, I do want to try and work at things because how else am I going to know? Or how do I know I'll "marry rich" what if I don't want to get married?" Then these "trophy wives" go into a deer in the headlights with: "how dare you question something that makes sense." Like they were never little girls or teens either. I've actually been enjoying Cooper more this season because he finding out he can't just get away with EVERYTHING because he is rich. Now realizing Katie and Greg are actually "being parents" to him to even telling him how to cross the street.

Oh that was so horrible, including hearing the Rosetta Stone tapes and still couldn't even REPEAT what they were saying. It was sooooo bad, plus I've seen Le Mis many times, the use of the French language is like... 3 lines. You can fake that even on Broadway. The story made NO SENSE!

Being a teacher myself, I really try to stay respectable in my dress. Many of my coworkers who have been teaching for decades either go with dress down or at least something that still maintains that. Yes, certain styles have changed for teachers, but I think Lainey looked fine. I have to wear my Spider-Man and other ties that go with the themes and of course to match my outfits when I teach. Of course, why spirit and casual Fridays exist. What drives me crazy is how super rip jeans have come back into fashion. Because we get below zero days and then the kids complain they are cold and we are: "Why don't you wear something that doesn't have holes in it?" They then go: "But I don't have anything with no holes, I love the look." You roll your eyes.

Plus, Regina knows better that you can't let something hang over you and "never deal with it" as we found out with her uncle and her mother is a grand example of never wanting to face a situation and how it dominated their lives in a very unhealthy fashion. Yes, Sophine might never "get over it" but it's here and it's not going away and being constantly angry over it, or then trying to take it out on everyone or ignore it is never going to solve it. She is living proof of that.

It also just kind of proves that no matter what happened, Justin was pretty done with the show and wants to move on with his career and life. How they handle this is a different question, but how are they going to explain: Jo still being around. McWidower just magically having Alex's job because Christina said so? The show went off the rails a long time that the writers are acting like a bunch of 11 year olds trying to write their first essay for a teacher. ABC really needs to step in and go: "Yeah, we need to end this. There is nothing left."

Right, it's sad that this would be the last time we would see "Normal Mark" before the writers decided he needed to be changed to "Goth Mark" a few months later. Also, Jill's reaction is still piss poor or the fact the manager and the old lady in the background are just letting this teen try to beat up another kid. Or how about how Jill goes off on how Mark and Randy "need to apologize" to the family of the kid ready beat their son because of stepping on his shoes. Or the entire fact the manager/owner wasn't pissed off that a set of kids just ruined and destroyed his back stock of shoes.

The only problem is, they have really put Vanessa to the point she is brain dead at times. They like to throw her PhD in her face and yes, I have a doctorate too, but at times I wanted to go: "how are we to take this seriously she was ever ANY type of doctor?" But shows do that, great examples of Jill and Debra, characters that made sense EARLY on, but then turn into bitter, I'm always right and you are wrong and into their parents/inlaws they talked in the series of NEVER becoming and do. Of course after meeting Vanessa's mother and sister you just want to go: "What family did you come from? Are you adopted?"

See this is a pretty great example of how society has changed. Not the kids, but people think they can just avoid problems, have someone else take care of it. Something the show however does skate by on is how their rich or "ex-rich" husbands are not involved in any shape or form. That they just throw money at their spouses and ignore their kids. That's something I really wish was brought up, Greg is the ONLY involved father sometimes over involved, but he actually cares. Everyone outside the family are really horrible, horrible parents. I am really enjoying Oliver and Cooper's story line here, I'm happy this is continuing and that Taylor is actually DOING something useful now. Of course, I love Ian Gomez, he can be on the show anytime.

I know right. Something too is now we are getting to where Eddie's problems came from and seeing it's pretty much a family history. There are still missing pieces as to how Katherine really met Eddie and given his history and problems why should even married him. As we saw, Eddie pretty much gave up drinking BECAUSE of Theo. Even more, I doubt the writers would even say some of Eddie's issues that lead to his affair with Delilah weren't stemmed from his deciding to sleep with his friend's wife instead of going into a drinking binge again early on. However, also proving that Eddie doesn't think of any consequences to his behavior like everyone else on this show.

Because the creator of the show had a baby late in life and the writers thought it be "comedy gold" to give them another kid.

Right, it was like Rosethal was: "ok, let's get everyone's Lorelai and Christopher out of their systems for good." Of course, but didn't do ANY focus on Chris's relationship with Rory or hell even Rory and Georgia's relationship. It just painted Christopher as: "I just like banging Lorelai more than being a father." "But hey, I'm attractive!" Other wise, the character work on everyone else was great and you know, MADE SENSE. Instead of AS-P coming back and going: "God! Who the hell you think you were writing MY CHARACTERS!" "Here is how they SHOULD BE!" Just no.

I also how AS-P and her husband still depicted "higher society" even with the former Dr. Corday on the show. They had her basically stealing people's food because she could. Never thinking those people might want their meals or have some where to get to by a certain time. I didn't have a problem with Rory saying "she's a drunk" however it was very unprofessional how she talked about her and never THOUGHT it get back to her. However, just like with Emily calling bullshit on the DAR screening process. It made everyone come across like they could do or say whatever they wanted and it never got back to them. AS-P and her husband's writing, seriously has become crap. Thinking they could do "whatever" they wanted and everyone would worship the ground they walked on. Which proved to be the opposite yet they still go: "Well, it was my vision of how I wanted the series to go." Instead of: "you look like a bunch of armatures with too much money."

That was such an eye opening to the character. That it's not how "he talks" but how he hears everyone else. Though to this day, how the hell Dale ended up the way he did when you see his parents both in flashback and later on when he finds out his father is gay. You just want to go: "Where the hell did his view on life come from?" I mean, you get Hank, he wanted to be more traditional and more like his mother than Cotton. Bill just never recovered from his divorce. Boomhauer went on his own accord, but never got over his "fun life style". For Dale, who the hell knows.

I get it more that the show lasted longer than they originally thought it would. The real Eddie wanted more of a portray of his book and "real life", but not realizes that would have been hard to do and the show would have probably ended after a couple of years. It's pretty simple, the ratings weren't there, the actors were tired of the show, especially Constance and they get to at least wrap it up in a satisfying way to them. Instead of similar to how ABC pulled the plug on previous shows.

Neela was one of those characters, that the writers never seem to really know what to do with the character. Is she feeling sorry for herself all the time? Is she the grieving widow. Are men really falling over her like that? Something I will never get was when she was trying to figure out where to go in the next step in her career and when she calls Maggie. Maggie tells her: "Maybe you need a drink." What the hell was up with that?
