shapeshifter February 16 Share February 16 Glad this show's back. Glad MGH's wardrobe is back. 2 Link to comment
AnimeMania February 16 Share February 16 I loved when Todd broke the wine bottle on the dining room table to murder Harry with. The murder plot was stupid, it seemed like everybody was sleeping with everybody, why wait so long to become offended by it. 3 Link to comment
Shelbie February 16 Share February 16 Glad the show is back but this episode seemed a little too frantic with too many plots going on. 2 Link to comment
Silver-hyren February 16 Share February 16 So did they transfer Chuck's personality onto Margaret's husband? Guess that explains why she was so eager for Allison to marry Chuck. Literally groaned at the Love Never Dies reference but also appreciate that by that point they were going all in on the Phantom parallels. This show is always the most fun when it dives feet-first into its silliness. 8 Link to comment

My guess is that was a function of it being the start of the season and they had multiple things they needed to set up, but I'm pretty sure this was a one time thing. I think now that all the viewers know what is happening/going on with each of the characters, they can settle down for the remaining episodes. I am looking forward to the rest of the season. I can't wait to see which perks at the upper level are cut. There is no way Margaret is going to fire junior people while the senior partners get luxury perks (and I realize I am absolutely applying TV Land logic, not real world logic to the situation). 6 1 Link to comment
iMonrey February 16 Share February 16 I had sort of forgotten how much I like this show. And it took me a minute to find the forum, it should really be listed as a comedy. It's certainly more comedy than drama. I agree there was a lot going on here but that it had a lot of refreshing to do after such a long hiatus. I hope the strike and the break won't adversely affect the ratings. Todd's new apartment is stereotypically crappy with a huge neon sign right outside his window. Dun dun dun . . . so something nefarious is going on between Beverly and Susan WRT to a partnership. Not sure what to make of it, but long-term I see Beverly possibly ousted and Susan made partner in her place after switching sides. I think the old partner probably wasn't the only one embezzling. During the dinner table scene when they were talking about Allison's hair, Lawrence said she looked like "Bake Clanchett." I rewound and listened twice. Did he mispronounce Cate Blanchett or was it supposed to be a deliberate joke that went over my head? 3 Link to comment

It is, but I also love how proud he is of it. Half hour shows are usually labeled as comedies and hour long shows are usually labeled as dramas. So Help Me Todd and shows similar to it are why the category light drama exist. 3 1 Link to comment

Susan is one on the richest women in Portland (That is where this show takes place, right?), so Beverly is looking for ways to get a cash infusion. She probably is looking to lock in Susan's husband as a client. 1 1 Link to comment

Margaret gets words and names mixed up all the time, so it was probably to show it's a family trait. 2 2 Link to comment
Jeopardy15 February 16 Share February 16 I binge watched this show over the summer. LOVE IT! So glad to have scripted tv back. Also, what happened to Lisa Rinna’s face? Botox? Fillers? Botched surgery? I barely recognize her. 6 Link to comment

Maybe it was the hairdo. Don't know about you, but I'm not used to seeing her with hair down to her shoulders. Those lips are unmistakable, though. And it's very telling about the corporate mindset in the firm that the partners meeting, with only two people attending in person, seemed to be fully catered. Especially since the meeting was about personnel cuts to trim the budget. 7 Link to comment

I can't get past the collagen injected duck lips. Is the procedure irreversible, or does she actually think she looks good that way? 1 1 Link to comment
chitowngirl February 17 Author Share February 17 I got the feeling that Susan had something to announce about her marriage to Peter. And she looked like she was googly eyed when Todd gave her a gift. He seems to have (finally) moved on. 2 1 Link to comment

Interesting. 58 minutes ago, iMonrey said: I can't get past the collagen injected duck lips. Is the procedure irreversible, or does she actually think she looks good that way? Apparently a procedure that went bad and was not entirely fixable: lifeandstylemag.com/posts/rhobh-lisa-rinna-plastic-surgery-transformation-photos I guess the look works for her role in this episode.

I didn’t realize that was Lisa until I just read it here. I definitely didn’t recognize her. I really enjoyed the episode and found it pretty funny, especially with Margaret and Todd continually negotiating his contract; the two actors have such great chemistry. The dinner party was crazy good fun; I was not expecting Todd threatening Harry with a broken wine bottle It’s going to be interesting to see how things go with the law firm, because the partnership stuff seems like a lot of shenanigans going on there. 3 Link to comment

seacliffsal February 19 Share February 19 I really enjoyed this episode-total entertainment for me from beginning to end. I only hope the cat gets to stay with Margaret... Really liked Todd having 'a plan' and getting out on his own. Laughed throughout Todd's weather update. Glad this show is back. 4 Link to comment

I got a kick out of his makeshift office with the business card holder that popped up out of his desk and the handmade sign that popped up over the doorway. It was like Inspector Gadget designed the place. This show really borders on farce sometimes, and I have no problem with that. 9 Link to comment

I think Todd is about the right generation for Inspector Gadget so you may be onto something. I love that the show is usually just pure silly fun and sometimes goes into farce, with a dash of drama. Not everything needs to be a super serious dark gritty drama. 3 Link to comment
jabRI February 24 Share February 24 I'm sorry Gus will be out of the picture, he was good for her. But he was a bit of a d*k coming in uninvited and judging her chaos without letting her talk at all. I don't fault him dropping by, but it seems like he could have heard her out. 3 Link to comment
