Ms Lark March 4, 2022 Share March 4, 2022 (edited) Well, that was that. Don't let the door hit ya, Drew! Hey, I want to move there, too. I see a mass exodus. Wow, Gina finally realizes you actually need some skills to run a retirement home, or anything else. Too bad she's down to one kidney and she gave the other to a jackass. Guess next week is the SERIES finale since I don't see this being renewed anytime soon.

Yes, Gina needs to learn how to do things like pay bills, and yes frankly they have too much on duty drug use among the staffers. But unless she's mismanaging the money to an extreme, i.e. criminal, degree, the reason the other place is so much more luxurious is that it costs a lot more. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7324255

Golden Horizons must be ten times as expensive as Valley Hills. Cruises aren't cheap. Insurance might pay for some of it, but they won't pay 100% and the amount is going to vary depending on what kind of coverage you have. They never once addressed this even though Mrs. Ludlam admitted they kicked someone out when they lost their insurance. So it definitely wasn't the Shangri-La they were making it out to be. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7324699
MarthaEllisanne March 4, 2022 Share March 4, 2022 Drew needs to go home and get back to work. In life, he would pay child support, possibly alimony, and medical & drug expenses related to transplant. His "job" at the Valley Hills can't support all that. Sell that RV, get the house back (can't remember if he sold it or not) and go back to work as a counselor. Drop in to see the folks at VH every 4-5 episodes, then fade into background. If they are going to keep Drew, at least bring back Sara Rue, but not the sullen kid. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7324949

I'm sure he made some money on it (especially since he didn't buy another house and is parking his RV for free in the home's parking lot) but it's not gonna last long with his medical expenses. They seem to have forgotten he even has a kid. Edited March 5, 2022 by ams1001 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7325389

She's 71, actually. 🙃 I agree about the cast, the retirement home is is a veritable who's who from Linda Lavin to Ben Vereen, from Jim Beaver to Hector Elizondo. And I really like Annaleigh Ashford too. I think the show is OK. Its main problem is Drew; they really have a hard time keeping him relevant after the transplant and since shifting the story to Valley Hills. There's also just lot of animosity towards the actor since those stories about him broke on social media. The show probably should have cut their losses and written him off at the start of the season. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7327553

I do agree with that, but he has three other sitcoms that have either already been renewed (Bob Hearts Abishola and Young Sheldon) or are very likely to be renewed (United States of Al) and you have to figure that he has at least one new one in pilot form right now, right? So I think being the lowest-performing Chuck Lorre sitcom still puts you in a fairly undesirable position. That said, the fact that they swapped B Positive and United States With Al in the time slots suggests that they want to see how much of Al is just Young Sheldon lead-in and whether B Positive might do just as well as Al if it had the time slot, also. EDITED TO ADD: In a very good sign for B Positive, the time switch more or less saw the ratings swap with Al, so it's basically on par with Al, ratings-wise, so I think they might actually renew both now.

pennben March 10, 2022 Share March 10, 2022 This show just fell off a cliff for me. Honestly, I'm comparing two mostly mediocre shows, but United States of Al, which I did not like at all at the beginning, feels more cohesive to me these days. I feel like on this show, they keep bringing in likeable actors as a means of fixing a fundamental writing problem. It's just not good. Had hopes after the first season. My hopes are now that a better show gets a shot next season. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/127233-s02e15-payroll-a-waterwall-and-wham/#findComment-7334467
