I laughed way too hard at the "Depend's Thong" joke. 

The scramble for collectable ceramic junk was fun. Arpi just "bounced up" as she was running in. I think she was stepping on the woman who fell down.

Fran Drescher's still sexy! And I definitely prefer her voice now.

It took me a minute to realize who she was, but yes, you are correct.

We're really enjoying this show, hope it sticks around for a while!

"I consider myself a Gen X preemie" and the concept of "wake apnea" were the standouts in a really good episode.

Ted Danson's gasp ("What?!") after Fran Drescher said, "Turns out you can print from your cell phone!" was absolute perfection.

I don’t love that episodes are airing out of order. The consultant team was such a big storyline that it was odd to have them missing.

I don't think it was aired out of order. The mayor's "Yes Day" was a direct response to how the team was feeling left out, as was explained in the previous episode, Mayor Daddy. While the consultant team wasn't a big part of the episode, didn't Mikaela get the team leader to help her pull the real homeless stats so she could try to really help?

I’m guessing the consultant team was introduced so they can pull them into episodes when they need them. The consultants don’t need to be hanging around all the time.

You’re referring to the previous episode (Mayor Daddy), not Trampage.

Sorry, you are correct. We had an issue with our recording and ended up watching the second half of Mayor Daddy then the full Trampage episode, I guess I got them mixed together.

But as @chitowngirl mentioned, they don't need to have the consulting team front and center every episode. From IMDB and other sources, Mayor Daddy and Trampage were aired in correct order.

Fran Drescher's looking better than ever on her Trampage! Really good episode, I especially laughed at those ceramics with one word descriptors on them, my mom loves those, now I am picturing her fighting Arpi to get her salt ceramic!

"Its what you send your dad when he texts you a picture of the fish he caught and you have no idea how to respond but this is the only way you connect."

Is the heart color progression a thing?? I’m so old!😆

I hope not, because I'm probably in big trouble if so. But I suspect it might be!

I laughed way too hard at the old folks in the bounce house.  "Why does that one old guy keep jumping?  He's popcorning every body"  It just wasn't what I was expecting and it made me laugh out loud.

I snorted when Arpi said that fighting the other women in her demographic with sharp haircuts for ceramics felt too much like cannibalism.

I enjoyed the final anti-fraud commercial by Fran Drescher.

I had never really noticed them before in real life, and now I see them everywhere!  OMG.  Have they been there all along?  I will admit to liking the font, but the general concept is just annoying.  That store scene was hilarious, though.
