Or they retread on things. Even the recent previews for the upcoming episode shows Alex trying to be more "open" with our outfits. Which has been done to death in the last few years, if the writers stop making her dress up as an "old lady" maybe they would stop feeling they want Alex to be more in tune with who Ariel Winters is in real life.

Table for 3, happens with my wife and I all the time. My thing is, I DO seal everything, she is the one or forgets or complains about me leaving things, but then throws all the trash on our car floors and our son is just as guilty and then goes: "But you do it!"

Plus, Regina's mom is from a: "Don't ask, don't tell." generation. It is also showing that Regina's family has had an endless cycle of molestation as it shows that the uncle who was most likely molested himself became a molester that is sadly very common. Going back to my post a while ago, I should have said that Regina wasn't a "sex addict" just that her constant wanting to have sex with Rome despite his issues was what was ringing as a problem. As Regina SHOULD know what it is like to deal with depression and issues. Regina reliving those moments talking about what happened to her at 12 should have been a "AH moment" with what Rome is going through. However, in the long run, Rome is heading to a bigger crash as Regina still hasn't gotten a clue of Rome is going through. Plus, seriously, how can she run a restaurant if she doesn't have any ideas how to run them?

That could have worked too. I've worked for people in the past where things were going in a positive direction, but promises weren't kept and then things just kept going more down hill. I believe it was more for the writers not able to use Charles Robinson as much due to his filming schedule. After Ink went under on CBS he was doing various other shows. Plus, I think the writers felt there had been too much work done on Bud over the years and wanted it to be more he decided to just move on. However, his changes never made sense. However, I think it would have made more sense as Tim was so loyal to the company for so long and then to see it turn into a disaster was heart breaking for him.

Looks like they are going to move the show to a different Night. t. Last Man Standing Season 8 will move to a different night. I do think it's interesting that they are saying that Fox is most likely going to renew it. Since they are talking about moving it to a different night. However, the ratings have returned to what they were back on ABC. The only good night would be Mondays since The Bachelor and DWTS doesn't get the ratings it once did. Any other night the show would be killed by other shows. Of course, maybe this is Fox's way of saying; "Hey, we brought it back, and we want to give it a decent send off unlike ABC, this is our excuse why we should end it. Molly McCook might leave the series. Didn't know all the other actor were that involved in other projects. Sure, they film at different times and streamed series film back to back and then air. However, the only person who seems to have a regular empty schedule is Tim Allen and Nancy Travis show was renewed for another year and Orange is the new Black is airing it's finally season later this summer on Netflix. Hmmm...

That's the problem. They are trying to have the: "This is the excuse" issue. Plus, you add in that Regina apparently doesn't know how business in the food industry works. Plus, why does she have a passion for it? We know why Rome did for his filming and cinema. Yet, Regina is: "Well, I like restaurants, but have ZERO idea how the business works." It's painting her character just above Delilah.

Oh, so now another TV cliche about why Regina hates her mother, she let her uncle molest her and she herself was a victim once upon a time and seems why her uncle became one as a result of his own molesting. So, I guess now the REAL reason why Regina didn't want to have children was because she have her uncle molest them too. Yet, hey she is a sex addict with her own husband? Yeah, usually women or men who are molested and don't turn to molesting themselves, don't turn into: "Hey, we need to have sex to make life great." Plus, how Regina didn't have her own depression or knows what it was like for Rome's situation is very, very bad writing.

It's also like when Bud started making all these changes to Tool Time and Morgan coming in. I mean, there was no follow through with Bud's thinking. He didn't even say why he wanted nothing, but Binford or why he would bring Morgan in. Plus, when they seeing that Tim and Al had to wear plain yellow jump suits for working (which looked horrible), I was even more shocked with Heidi's "thong" bikini. Yeah, it was the late 90s, but unless you clear that with the network, you can't put a woman, who "has a brain" in a string bikini just to get more ratings and take care of horny teens and men. Yeah, I get that they were showing that Morgan just wanted to copy other people's work, but that's the thing about Jerry Springer and all the talk shows that were doing stuff like that in the late 90s early 2000s. The networks were aware of what was going on with the show. Knew that they most likely get swearing, partial nudity, ect. Like we have said before, I know it was the writers trying to give a reason why Tim, Al, Heidi would quit and leave the show. However, it just seemed so extreme, when really when people change things like that. It's slowly. First it's removing a few things, having someone appear more often, do more of the work, slow changes in dress codes, ect. You don't go from 0 to 60 and think everyone is just going to smile and go: "Good job!"

You want to see a spin-off series crash and burn. That's right there, that make Splitting Up Together look like a masterpiece.

Right, and he's suppose to be a psychologist himself, yet he is ignoring own son's cries for help. Plus, when you see a dip in a student or a reoccurring theme, if anything you reach out to the school counselor, which we KNOW that middle school did have. It just rings as: "This kid has some serious issues and no one seems to care?" I also find it odd that Dr. Handover's wife was the real reason why he finally shaved his head saying: "She came at me with hedge clippers if I didn't do something!" So, on the night she CAN'T come to her own son's presentation, but hey as soon as they come home: "Damn you, Alan, I'm going to cut that awful hair myself!" Ummm... huh? I also found it funny the other professors didn't react to it either. I get Jill's situation, especially when it was the next day after. However, the other professors all acted like they didn't see Handover all say and then they didn't go: "Wow! You finally cut that horrible comb over." Too many holes in that story. Especially, when we would see Dr. Handover the next three episodes. During all the talk and endless amounts of books over season 7-8 never ONCE did we hear about Jill going to conduct any interviews or anything. Yes, we saw her interning and so forth, but when did she interview the families? Something about dissertations, even if they are about just numbers or case studies, which Jill's sounded like was a case studies. They do require research, can the research happen fast? Oh sure, I had a few friends finished their main research in 2 months and then wrote about it as they went and had their main draft completed 2 months later and defended the following month. We just saw Jill complaining and putting her foot in her mouth over and over and then magically she had a finished thesis/dissertation.

I know because if I saw all that stuff I be going: "Son, we need to talk about this." He was acting more like he has heard this all before and the fact his step son has not only such low self esteem, but to the point he is looking into the military at 14? Um... Ok. Plus, yes, if a school administrator saw that kind of video, I tell you the teacher would have been in the office going: "So, this is how you teach the class? I think we need to talk about your future at this school." Yeah, there was so many problems with Jill's defense, plus when she is talking about what her paper is ACTUALLY ABOUT! I wanted to think: "This sounds like something that has been written before." Something about doing dissertations NEVER is one the end all be all of any relationship. Trust me, people are still talking about the post feminine world dealing from people of color to trans gender. Same with engaging readers with books. However, Jill's research sounded like she looked at her own family and the writers basically trying to explain her behavior since season 4. Which would have been thrown out since you CAN'T DO THAT, completely bias research. Yeah, even if HI would have gone on a 9th season, the writers were pretty much showing they were just ready to be done with Jill's schooling. They were bored with it so much, they have her the bottom of the barrow dissertation committee and didn't do any reflection outside that Wilson enjoyed it.

That was actually a satisfying conclusion. Also, pointing out he just wanted Taylor for sex.

Right and why she is a hated character. She apparently had everyone just hand her everything and outside knowing how to use the bathroom. she really didn't do A DAMN THING! She signed papers without looking, never looked into if her finances were ok after Jon died. Barely knew anything that was going on with her kids. Now, we are lead to believe she had NO IDEA on Jon's life before they even met? That's too much.

That's where you really can't suspend belief. Not knowing about his old apartment or anything. Sure, OK that was over 20 years ago, how would she know he kept it around. However, everything else, just come on! No, idea about how their fiances worked, where he went, NO FAMILY spoke of? That's too much, especially for a show set in 2018-2019. It reminds me on Cheers when Carla found out her husband, Eddie. Had married another person, had twins that were just a year younger than their two twins in the course of the 3 years they were married before they killed off his character. Where was he getting the money? They were having us believe when he was apparently "working" he would be with them and trying to believe that with Boston being such a BIG place, they never ran into each other. Then to find out at the funeral that he had been keeping all of this secret just rang that everyone was stupid.

Watching the Film Class episode again. After listening to the teacher talk, and I get this was 1999, but wow! She was a ding bat with how she talked about her students who at that time are ranging from 13-14 could be future: "dating service people or recording home movies." I mean, talk about setting standards so low for her students. Also with Dr. Handover, he was laughing at his step son's commentary. Also, Jill's thesis/dissertation is a mess. She seems to be going in for a full defense, but then after everything it seems like it is pre-defense. Yes, can you go into a defense and not be successful and have to rewrite it? Yes, happens all the time, and a grad students worst fear after so long of working on this (Jill's case 5 years). However, we never got why Jill chose these specific professors for her committee. A graduate student CHOOSES who they want as their chair and who to be on the committee. The university doesn't just assign you who they feel is right for you. It's who you FEEL is right for you. Jill going over how much she hated Dr. Handover and I wanted to go: "But you wanted him for your chair, don't complain now."

Right and as I have stated going through depression too. It isn't just a simple "here are the meds and you are fine." Rome really does need to be seeing a psychologist and YES, Regina needs to be going along with Rome and also dealing with her problems that also contributed to Rome. Not to mention, why have the kids NOT been with a school counselor or something. They just ask they will role and be fine with the fact their father KILLED himself. Even if he had been walking down the street and a car swerved off and hit him. You just don't MOVE ON when a parent dies like that suddenly.

It also shows that Cam and Mitch are very out of touch with what Lilly likes and dislikes. They have been showing us this season and last season how Mitch and Cam have completely forgotten about Lilly or even paying attention to what she is doing in school or her likes and dislikes. You can't count the Spa day for her birthday last year because Lilly said what she wanted. It was Pam who was a complete idiot in how girl parties are these days. Now, granted a lot of tweens and teens don't really show or tell their parents what they are into. Many parents feel if the school isn't notifying you that grades are down or there is any behavior issues and so forth. Most parents don't pry. However, Cam and Mitch keep showing ZERO attention to Lilly or what she does most days and you can tell the writers and actress who plays Lilly have just stopped caring.

I know, I'm waiting for news that Molly is dead, even though we haven't seen her since season 2. Or that one of the kids has something happen to them.

Same here. Especially after finding out about the picture and the original view. Sorry, but I be: "Ok, the house is saved, what the hell is with this apartment? How about ask the landlord the years he was there just walking in an out and paying to keep the place.

Hey, Molly still exists, but we will NEVER see her again.

I know, I hated that or the fact that Manny just sat there as she did it. I mean, he at least hugged Jay and meant it. Gloria was about two seconds away from grabbing the wine and dancing on Stella's grave. I mean, to hate an animal that much, which honestly, it has NEVER been showed that Stella is such a drain on Gloria. She acts like the dog pees on her shoes, chews up her high priced designer clothes. Eats her well cooked meals, ect. Stella has never done anything outside of: "please pet me."

I agree and they CAN afford to have Rome go to therapy. It would even go as far to have the therapist want to talk to Regina too and would most likely discover her own issues that SHE needed to talk about. I mean, she has this "horrible' relationship with her mother it turned her off to parenting, how her life had to be "dictated" by her mother. Yet, what we got in one episode, is Reggina's mother was the classic: "Well, kids don't come with instruction manuals and I did what I thought would work and it clearly didn't." Regina acted like he mother locked her in a closet and had her "think about" what she did did. I hate when shows do that, I get that parents can be very "strict" my in-laws were that way with my wife and her siblings, and now have gone the opposite way with their grandchildren. Even though they still cling on to things that make you go: "it's 2019, get a reality check." However, Regina makes it out like her mother was this big monster when really, she did her best and sadly, it had a negative backlash. I also find it a problem that Rome hasn't seeked help, because to show the fact he actually almost swallowed the pills right there he needs more than anti-depressants and Regina's warp sense of: "let's have sex again and life is perfect." It paints them BOTH as being very naive about things and also badly written.

It also paints her as some self absorbed teen, not someone pushing 40 who had two kids already. I mean, she had no idea on the finances or even after Jon killed himself to have someone looking over with: "Did he have any outstanding debt? Do we owe anything to anyone?" No it's, oh well thanks to him killing himself my life is no longer my carefree style, now I have to "be an adult". It's like with Eddie, now he doesn't like his limited time with his son or how he doesn't know what to do? He had over a decade to be an "adult" and yet didn't. He just enjoyed his "part time" life and let his wife do all the work that made her focus on working because someone had to pay the bills like with Jon. While that should also be a wake up call for him or at least with Katherine in how she didn't see the signs or how she has some share of the blame too. I also have that problem with how Rome is being treated by Reggina. She thinks that if her and Rome just go back to having sex and so forth, he'll be magically cured. Rome tells her that the bills are making him feel better, but having a side effect. She also doesn't see how she played a role into Rome's depression and instead of being: "Tell me how to help you get through this." She is more of: "well, let's get you off the pills so we can have sex again." She is still missing the point that just because you can have sex again doesn't magically cure anything.

Yeah, and you know that's how its gone now. Whether the show gets the 11th season TPTB want to wrap it all up or not, I think the actress who plays Lilly is going to be: "Good, its over, I can have a life now." once it is all done, she honestly doesn't care and is just getting a paycheck.

Little too on the nose about students who "purposely" try to fail in school because they figure its more fun and they won't need it later. Then get the reality check towards the end of high school or when they are out and people don't take their crap and they have rent to pay and realize their excuses don't carry anymore.
