ohjoy November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 Coming off the musical success of "Rent" last year, Lainey is asked to direct a school production of "The Lion King," but she fears she can't top herself. Meanwhile, Coach Mellor's athletic records may soon be broken, so he must find a way to keep his name in the spotlight. Original air date: November 6, 2019 Link to comment
Izzy85 November 7, 2019 Share November 7, 2019 I love Mellor and Glascott so much! The characters and actors. Their relationship is hilarious and adorable. I'm not ashamed to admit coach made me cry tonight, lol. 10 Link to comment
rmontro November 8, 2019 Share November 8, 2019 Kind of a weak episode, I thought, but I agree Mellor and Glascott are good together. It was nice of Glascott to name the building after him. And I did laugh at the animals they made. Especially the giraffe: "It looks like you just cut him down from the gallows". 2 Link to comment
Lili November 8, 2019 Share November 8, 2019 I agree. Nothing about this episode stood out too much. I also felt that Mellor was pretty unlikable here. He even broke the handle of Glascott's coffee glass. They made up at the end, but still. Link to comment
tennisgurl November 8, 2019 Share November 8, 2019 Mellor and Glascott have really great chemistry, even when Mellor is being a dick to Glascott and even his students and fellow coach. The jokes about how weird pole vaulting is were pretty hilarious though. "Its so random!" Those animals were horrifying! "It looks like it was killed and came back for revenge." And damn, Wilma can sing! Hi Dave Kim! 1 2 Link to comment

He was being a bit of a narcissist though. 1 Link to comment
mojoween November 9, 2019 Share November 9, 2019 Is the R. Mellor Athletic Center a real thing? Because I have to admit that unexpectedly made me tear up. Every time Rick blurted out “I’m going to marry your sister!” it made me laugh. 2 Link to comment

I don't know the answer to that. But they did show those real life pole vaulters at the end. Made me wonder if the real Rick Mellor acted like a jackass when kids started to break his records. 🙂 Link to comment
xander874 November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 I did get a little teary when I saw the gym named after Rick. Pretty cool. I was totally out of the Lion King plot, mainly because Disney didn't authorize school productions until 2015. The show was too new. Of course I thought the same thing with Phantom on the Goldbergs. They are so close to NYC, I can't imagine they could do a bootleg version and get away with it. Also, CB - who I usually love - was annoying with that Hakuna Matata stuff. Well, until he and Wanda started singing it. That was cute. Link to comment
