Oh yes, the show changes continuity at the drop of a hat. It's like going back to Maya and Melaine trying one up each other and then trying to pull a trick on the other. Here they were trying to show that old habits die hard. However, with Kenneth, how many times does he have to play the: "I use to be a top athlete and had money" crap. Or Jimmy for all his connections and use, all of a sudden can't find his car keys?

It's like the weather forecaster who jumps up and down when there is a blizzard or sever thunderstorms. You want to smack them. There is being passionate about your job, and then there is being an asshole who just revels in it. How about all the doctors during the series that were jumping for joy when they could see or be part of a "special surgery" then screw it up. It's horrible, you never see everyone at Station 19 going: "All right! House is burning to the ground and people might be dead! Can't wait." They are more: "Crap, let's save these people!" Grey's they celebrate disasters and people dying.

Was watching the Season 3 premiere again last night. Wow! Jill in that episode is not the character she would be 5 seasons later. Even with the talk of Baby Sloane that was then completely thrown out in the series. Jill is in the wrong, she pretty much brings up all the: "I wanted to have a girl" talk with Tim. Tim has plenty of reasons to be: "Yeah, we are beyond that." I know it was to tie into couples having babies later in life in the early 90s (both my parents did that). However, at the end when Jill says she couldn't have a baby again since she was "too busy" now. Funny how it became "anti-baby" when Jill returned to school 6 episodes later. Also, I noticed in the first few episodes of Season 3, which was Heidi's first season, she does give Al a lot of dirty looks when Al either counters Tim on something. Or in the season premiere when Al jokes that Lisa left the show to work for Bob Villa. Heidi gives Al a very: "you smug asshole" look in the first few episodes. It almost completely disappears by episode 8. I think the writers originally didn't want Heidi to really like Al like everyone else fell over him during the early part of the season. I think that changed because they became good friends both off and on the set. Which really would have put Heidi in a different context considering towards the end of the series, Heidi admitted she would date or even 'sleep" with someone like Al if she wouldn't have been married.

I had the house to myself, which is really a rare situation. I decided to see what was going on and this was a pretty decent episode. However, I found Ed's story the best out of everything. They are still harping on Kyle and Mandy's house not being built still. After the stupidity that was the Halloween episode on what is going with the property. Of course Mike and Vanessa were pissed about the trip. Of course, the problem is, it is Kyle and Mandy's money. It wasn't like they took money from the Baxter bank account and were going to blow it. However, after five years, they still are trying to justify Vanessa quitting her job at the Energy Plant. I completely can believe that Vanessa got her PhD and then didn't know what to do with it (which is a big duh!). However, now it was the fact that Vanessa wanted to quit her job and it was Ryan, Boyd and Eve that gave her the final push with then: "your company is destroying the planet" crap. However, Mike talks about how her tutoring business is so successful. Yet, he has never taken a moment to joke about it. Plus we NEVER see her with students anymore, I get they are on a tight budget, but at least show Vanessa going over mini lesson plans or looking up information on subjects.

Sadly, Black-ish has fallen in the trap of the so many shows. They do one thing or a certain way with a character and then they have to harp on it no matter what. Here with Junior going into Zoey's Prince piece and then making him come across as a moron. Followed by Dre's: "I don't care about you." Then his co-workers... ugh! It's like with Bow's co-workers, are they doctors or are they people who would be reported to HR for the crap they have done over the years. It isn't funny or sad, it's just bad.

Apparently, because when my wife and I got married, we didn't need to worry about that. In fact, the certificate was sent off the following Monday. Yeah, Alex and Jo have absolutely NOTHING to do with sending anything in. What crap! Same with Bailey being so mad at Alex not coming in when it was dangerous to go out. I am finally happy that it was Richard who called Bailey on her bullshit with Ben and everything else. He has known her longer than anyone and was her mentor. Richard needed to tell Bailey her reasons for telling Ben to leave and the way she is handling everything at the hospital isn't the root of her problems, it's her sense to control everything. The rest of the episode, just pissed me off, it's so badly written from Maggie to Teddy.

Oh she was power hungry and I believe that as the series went on, she just stopped trusting the Prophets. The Reckoning was the final straw when the possessed Kira completely brushed Winn off like she was nothing and focused on Sisko. At that point, I'm surprised she had any supporters left, because it wasn't like everyone from civilians to Star Fleet saw this happen. At that point I'm surprised there wasn't: "Get Rid of Winn!" movement.

Yeah, everyone at the office WOULD have known who Prince was. They are trying to hammer in that Dre works for such dumbass assholes. "We white people, we know not who this PRINCE is!" Oh just stop. At this point, how does that company keep any clients. For a 100th episode, it was a bust. It just was and even when we find out that Junior doesn't know how to ride a bike? Enough show, we get it! Junior can have sex, video edit like he works in a movie studio. Knows how to drive and use Paypal, but ride a bike? Oh that's impossible for him. Plus, yes, we get it Dre doesn't care about Junior. Great father there.

How these people have not been hit with citations since the show began is beyond stupid. They neglect their pets. Can't give straight answers to anyone. Act like everyone should read their minds.

These kids will need a lot of counseling at this point. Their parents never talk to each other. They make decisions a 10 year old knows how to make and now with the entire house situation. It makes it come off as two people who should never have owned a home to begin with. Once again... what the hell does Martin do for a living!

The problem with Maggie is ever since she showed up on the show, they keep going: "I was always head of everyone book wise, but not emotional wise." You are in your middle 30s now (thanks for the correction) it's time to be an adult." Maggie doesn't want to try and be a emotionally grown up. She rather walk out or as Jackson said: "You go buy milk." Which comes off as more ADD than avoiding conversation. Yet, Maggie wants to quickly point out how no one else wants to face their problems like: Amelia, Teddy, Owen, Miranda, ect. Her entire handling of knowing Teddy was pregnant with Owen's child was like a little girl who saw a murder and was told: "Don't tell anyone, or I will kill you." Instead she argues with Owen over something he has no idea over. She can't stand the secret or HIPPA and tells Meredith. Now, her thing with Jackson is: "God is not my thing." It's just crap and if anything after last season. If one thing Maggie should be confronting is her adoptive father going: "Why the hell did mom think you were smothering her? You are a great dad?" However, that's been completely dropped just like Thatcher being talked about dying and Meredith is: "Well, he disappeared after Lexi die and my other sister? Who is that, I haven't seen her since season 3."

Ryan and Kristin being accused of being too "stern" parents? Since when? Boyd pulling one on his aunt and uncle? That isn't new. Oh look, a child in their 50s who still wants the approve of their parent who is in their 70s that they are a success. Funny how the show just wants to always rewrites history and or completely dig up cliches. Oh, the foreign exchange student that was suppose to be this "bright new character" where were they? How were ratings up from this episode?

Nancy Travis opens up about the Shows "Conservative" Political Views

Yeah, the family and I were visiting my parents and we were all watching this episode and my stepfather went: "It's not 1991 anymore, this doesn't work and not when your caregiver is the boss." That's something I don't like it when the show wants the characters to really be doing something they would never do. Especially when it comes to Kenny. JJ could have done tons of things and I have seen plenty of disabled people working in grocery stories. In JJ's case, he could have not only been doing customer service, but even helping with paper work. It was badly written. It's times like this that they writers of the show have to take things seriously and not do things for the sake of a laugh.

Very true, Led Zepplin is very expensive to use. There is a brief moment in Clerks I where it is used and Kevin Smith went on record of saying how much the music was what really maxed out everyone's credit cards and budget for the original Clerks movie. Even saying: "I can't believe just 1 minute of Led Zepplin music killed two cards!"

Right, plot over reality. Same with Dylan's thought process on how to take the lipstick out of Haley's nose. I mean, don't keep constantly saying how Dylan is studying for being a nurse and how he is doing WELL in school and have him be to stupid to breath. Goes with even Haley's thoughts of life, that she doesn't want to be "old". As they say: "You can't be young or think you are going to live forever."

Completely agree, I do sadly wished that they would have revealed it wasn't Oliver's talent, but his attitude that kept him from the scholarship. He was ONCE again talking about the scholarship getting him AWAY from his HORRIBLE family again. Yeah, I get that Greg and Katie's fight was stupid, but at this point, Oliver is beating a dead horse about how much it sucks to be an Otto.

Yes, it would have to be the Section Captain or Section Chief to tell Papa Herra to be fit to be captain again. Sullivan has nothing to do with it, plus when Sullivan told him: "I understand, you need a walk around before retirement." Yeah, that really doesn't come across anything with the flashback either. As I and others have wondered, why was Herra passed up for promotion if he was 19's captain for over 18 years. Especially, if it looks like his wife died when Andy was in her late teens. The time lines are making sense.

Yeah, they kept painting Wilson as this wise, but humble neighbor and they didn't really think of things back then. I never could imagine that Wilson didn't watch PBS or something related given his history and so forth. I know they couldn't predict the show being on 8 years, but don't have it where you have been over and so forth. Then have something like: "I didn't know you didn't own a TV."

How about only having once place of worship where both a priest and a rabbi switch out for daily services. Let's also not forget where a Town Selectmen has say over everything in the city and a mayor who does nothing.

That's what made it even dumber. I mean, those stamps wouldn't have mailed out one letter, not to mention 600. That is not only suspension of belief, but even Adam knows better when he says how much he have to pay for stamps to get just 3 letters out. So, the show make it really stupid right there when the character even admitted the price of postage. Murry's stamp collection at the best would have gotten 20 letters mailed out. Not 600.

Also having Jackson point out that Maggie never confronts anything. She runs away or just acts like she is some kid. Then having it where Maggie says that Jackson is: "Ahead of her" in the relationship department. I wanted to go: "What the hell is wrong with you? You are in the late 20s, not 14 anymore. I'm sorry, they tried this with April with her whole: "I'm a virgin who grew up on a farm." At one point in your life, you stop living under mom and dad's roof. You have to make adult decisions and it doesn't matter if you are going to medical school at 16 or 12. You grow up, you pay bills, you have to DEAL with other people. I don't care how much Maggie has said her adoptive parents were so great, apparently they never at any point told her to act like an "adult". They failed there and no matter how much the writers want to paint it, Maggie comes off as a poorly written character.

Same here.

Well, as much as people think you can just magically get a place when your spouse basically tells you to leave, you can't. However, I agree, we know Ben has no outstanding debt from anything. So, can't afford a place, don't buy it. However, with I agree on Sullivan, same when it showed in flashbacks how hard he was on the rookies from going: "I don't care what your name is, learn dammit!" Same with Ripley and how he could be chief, when he makes very poor judgments in the heat of the moment. Everything coming up with The Storm on both shows, if they have Ripley showing more poor judgment in the field. I really want to know how no one else wanted the job. Because he and Sullivan are proving the classic: "Fall up to success" because I'm not seeing how they could go to Captain let alone move to the highest ranks in the departments. Same with Praitt Herra, why was he never promoted outside of Captain when we saw he was a leader in the field.

Even worst, it paints Dylan and Haley as really stupid in this case. Not like they didn't have sex before and they just magically just go pregnant? What's the story: "Oh umm... was the condom inside out?" "Oh um... I couldn't pay for my birthday control this month."
