    That sounds like a great show~ I think Fred Savage is enormously talented. He was one of my favourite SNL guest hosts. He did an amazing Church Lady beside Dana Carvey - I think it was Church Lady and her mini clone. It would be interesting to watch them together.

    I agree about Fred Savage! He was in one of my all-time favorite shows, The Grinder—he masterfully played the hard-working brother against Rob Lowe’s “prodigal son” role. So funny, so hard to play.

  2. Gervais is actually on a quiz show called Child Support (https://abc.go.com/shows/child-support) where he wrangles five of so lower grade-school kids for their answers to Jeopardy-level questions, while Fred Savage hosts an adult faced with the same questions. Gervais is funny and comfortable with the kids—although I don't see him in a teacher role, I could see him being a headmaster and dealing with kids, parents, and school staff. Heck, I think he’s thoughtfully funny no matter what.

  3. I’m really liking Jack’s future husband who makes me laugh and will be soooo pissed if they don’t get married. That would be a good opportunity for different future storylines. I’d love Samira to be a semiregular but have enjoyed Karen more than in this pairing. I actually like Noah with Grace (but can’t see that lasting) as he pulls her out of the tiresome-to-me same old same old with Will (much like the existence of Karen’s ex/late? husband did even though we never saw him).

  4. I don’t know, I fell asleep again this week during the episode. Mr MML loved Castle and is still enjoying The Rookie but I feel like Nolan has turned into a plodding schlub whom I can’t believe is a cop never mind attracting a superhot girlfriend, and the show’s not as much fun as I had hoped (LA has a lot of oddness it’s celebrated for—perhaps a bit more “only in LA” plotlines might keep me awake). Also for me there are too many characters that I’m neutral to meh about and I really don’t care about three rookies and three trainers and miscellaneous romantic partners and superiors. And open plaid shirt over teeshirt is just cheesy stereotyping. But again, Mr MML really enjoys it. 

    I wish Joel McHale could join the force as captain 😂.

  5. Pretty sappy ending in the cemetery scenes with Oenelope Wilton and I also feel it was a mistake for Tony to give Justin money to buy enough heroin to overdose (he will live with that forever), but otherwise good as we love Gervais in the MML house. Sort of a mini-Office thing going on in the newspaper office. I would love a prequel with Lisa and Tony.

  6. I fell asleep just before the capt got shot but I did catch the Rookie walking into the situation room all supernoble to applause and retched at the supreme self-importance, and then said to Mr MML he is putting them in danger with that big target on his back—he really shouldn’t be there. And look who was right (and yeah, she is dead because of you). Sorry, but Nolan is just such a dumb schlub and so physically slow-moving to me now that I just don't get him as a cop vs someone like Bradford (swoon). And the comic fish-out-of-water theme is just gone now. I’d cancel it. 

  7. Mr MML and I were laughing so much at this episode I thought we were going to puke. So much funnier than the “Schooled” series in every way. The hamster, and the exercise ball, and the snitch notebook. So good.

  8. Just watched most of this last night. Harrison is totally playing the virginity drinking game prompts for Bachelor Nation—I like it.

    Creepy ending with Cassie—if she’s that much not into him, how can she stand being the one to end his virginity (<drink>); he’ll be stalking her the rest of her life. 

    Stopped watching before Hannah B was announced, but from the little I saw of this season (started with hometowns and she was already gone, right?), I think the guys are going to all be crazy about her, so that will be fun. The MML house is in.

  9. Probably the least funny episode in quite a while, as in, Why is Glenn babyproofing his office in the first place when he leaves the baby with lunatics in the meantime (and I so love those two lunatics)? Why didn’t Glenn just take the bubblewrap or whatever off the doorknob so he could open the door? Or just call someone else to open the door after the first call didn’t work? 

    Amy is just not funny when she is annoying. Blah.

    I can't stand Demi, but I flat out hate last night's audience for applauding, falling about laughing and cheering at every little lame, mean girl remark she made.  Really?  "You're more like a bed bug," is hilarious.  Not that the woman with the pacifier was any better but no one was cheering for her like she was the biggest star at the Oscars.  The audience reminded me of the  crowd of girls who follow the popular, mean girl around and echo everything she says. Even Chris Harrison was feeding into Demi's massive ego so much she could barely sit in her seat for throwing her arms in the air cheering herself for her own inane remarks. When did mean little insults and obnoxious bragging become, "confidence?"

    Like the rules don’t apply, whether common courtesy at the minimum in her case or federal laws to her mother (who has quite the record and stints in prison). At 23 she is on the cusp and her complete tone-deafness to her targets’ dismay and delight in hurting them, and her sucking up to those “above” her (Chris Harrison, some of the more polished confident women) are not good signs for her future imo.

  11. The next time I see Demi will probably be on a wanted poster—telling Colton that her nemesis (sorry I don't know these names) had something to say to him and then cackling at the awkwardness she created, after moments before claiming in the hot seat that she was vulnerable. No sympathy here for a bully like that. Or sociopath.

  12. If the “Christian Cassies” get a show and it means the “Creepy Kardashians” retreat, I am all for it.

    I was imagining Colton turned intona Golden Retriever when he went into his hotel room for the last time. Producers: Oh no! Colton is heading for the fence—down, boy! Oh no! He’s over it! Here Colton, good dog! <Whistle whistle>.

    Has Colton never been in a serious relationship or had someone break up with him? He just seems soooo young. Cassie hits him over the head with not being into him and he just gets more and more pathetic. I actually bet she wanted to leave earlier but the other departees beat her to it and the producers wouldn’t let her. I give her credit for not playing along into a fake F1 with a breakup soon after.

    I think it might be fun to have a season finale when they bring back a bunch of patients of the week from throughout the show who Shaun saved, and have them speak on his behalf. Yeah it could be super cheesy, but it would also be a great reminder of all the good he has done, disability of no. And it would just be fun to see a bunch of old characters show up again and see how they are all doing!

    Yes! And Dr Han can round up all the patients who wish they hadn’t had Shaun treat them—oh, wait, there aren’t any....

  14. Sue, Shaun, sue. You’ll own this hospital. This storyline makes me soooo angry. It is so stupid and just not believable. I once had to deal with a neurosurgeon that my doc warned me was “a typical surgeon” and not to be put off by him (surprise, he was kind and respectful to me as a patient). Guess he belonged in pathology too? Not to mention what an insult to pathology—is it a dumping ground where the higher level can send docs they perceive as misfits?

    And weren't the testing and diagnosis of the malignant meningioma already done? Why is he reviewing them—should he review all the labs that have already been completed? Yeah I know it was his patient so he was curious but still, what if he hadn’t? And he would more likely have reviewed the results and noted the alternative diagnosis in that position.

    So angry. So unbelievable, so lazy to repeat the initial “Shaun won’t fit in” storyline, too. Wrap it up, writers.

  15. This is the first ep we watched of this season in the MML house. Colton and Caelynn are a really cute couple—he looked like he had instant deep remorse and regret. We did not sense any chemistry with the other three. 

    I would watch a whole season of the fence jumping. 

    Jojo’s mom still wins the hometowns Oscar for drinking champagne straight from the bottle.

    So what do you do if they only have one butter plate on the table?  Can you imagine having to ask them to pass the butter 17 times just so you can get through dinner?

    How to put butter on the bread is covered in lesson 2.

  17. I’m so confused. So the key in the lockbox in the engine truck opens up every lockbox on a multiunit building? And the bad firefighter gives that key every single day to a thief who then gives it back? Seriously? Why don’t they just lean on an unscrupulous locksmith to make copies of the engine truck’s lock box key? And the bad firefighter that Cruz “caught” isn’t really bad so let’s get his wife some survivor benefits? Excuse me, he really was bad.

    So if the guys at the gun show were just idiot robbers then they never actually caught the dealers they were after.

    Smart women plus Burgess who is still an idiot. Seriously once you free yourself find a weapon. Would make it a lot easier than trying to wrestle a guy at way bigger than you. I think she even put down a screw driver at one point after she freed herself.

    Although I did have to laugh at Ruzek and Antonio having to talk Upton down to keep her from strangling her captor. I can't belive it was those guys of all people.

    Just watched this episode last night. I thought the plot was idiotic and thank God we have cops to rescue other cops when they screw up (maybe if we had smarter cops we wouldn't need so many cops). Surely Upton and Burgess would be better at taking down a perp (all Burgess had to do after she freed herself was stand behind the door and take him down when he came it, but no, go outside and start a fire instead. And YES find a weapon--jeez, you're a cop!). 

    At least we had Trudy at the beginning taking down the political consultant in classic Trudy form, one line, one look, BOOM!

    They sort of implied that in the previous episode.  The head nurse who was in the surgery with them, said something to him like, she's usually more cautious that that, how weird that she'd get stabbed.  So I think the implication was that she's cuckoo for cocoapuffs and willingly got herself stabbed to make him feel guilty and take her back.  

    Just watched this episode last night. I remember that from the previous episode, and I immediately thought she faked being "stabbed"--she screams "ow!" and leaves the scene, probably sticking herself with a clean scalpel after taking off the bloody glove (blood from the patient, not from her) to have an injury.

    But I sure hope Ava stays, as Mr MML and I love repeating her lines, mimicking her accent and her unmoving lips. I would miss that!

  20. Just watched this last night and Show had me at eyelash curler and tweezers. Without looking too closely at the giant contrivances, the episode was quite entertaining imo and a nice showcase for the actors. Not having the Gabby character made it possible.

    Good points, but I guess it was written so he didn't know she was a cop?

    Oh yeah, she was undercover and they probably would never blow that cover.

    I love serious Bradford and his tragic situation the most on this show.
