EtheltoTillie February 7 Share February 7 (edited) Didn’t Jim know that Georgie used to run an illegal casino? He was so surprised Georgie did well. Didn’t everyone find out when they got busted? I was squirming a bit when they first started lying to each other but it turned out kind of funny.

MollyMelrose February 7 Share February 7 Thought this was a solid episode centered on family dynamics, both good and bad. Saw how the show maybe could stand on its own without the Coopet Support Crew. But then next week's preview and Mary will be making an appearance. And we'll be back thinking about what this show could have been, instead of what it is. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8574639

For that matter, he could have told them that the convention was IN a casino. But I was wondering if there really was a convention somewhere, just in case Audrey checked. But Jim was just using it as cover, and didn't go. Connor was eating dinner at the sink again, while the family was at the table.

Yeah No February 7 Share February 7 I realized 3/4 into the episode that it wasn't half bad. I consider that progress. But yeah, seeing that Mary will be making a visit next week will make me go back to wishing the show had more of the original YS cast in it every week. I still can't get over it. Meemaw especially was a very popular character. Miss her, Missy and even Mary. It's hard to be reminded of them every week and not see them. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8574759
possibilities February 7 Share February 7 Mandy's parents like the lying in their marriage. Mandy and Georgie both want their marriage to be honest. In a way, it showed the way G and M are compatible. They both also felt more obligation/loyalty to Mandy's parents than to each other. Connor babysitting was fantastic. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8574782
Browncoat February 7 Share February 7 I loved Connor babysitting, and I don't even like babies. The baby man song was awesome. It did crack me up that Jim has thought he's been getting away with this convention thing for so long. I can't say I blame Audrey for not letting on that she knows, either. Her going back to the bar for her shoes (and bra!) was hilarious. "I got diamonds.

They just don't consider this particular lie to be important and both use it to get a break that probably benefits the marriage in the long run. The way I look at it is this: She knows he's lying, but she liked having a weekend to herself. She could tell him: Hey, I get it-- you want a weekend to go have fun without me. I like having a weekend to myself, too! No need to lie about it, let's just make it an annual tradition and be real about it. They seem to prefer the lying to the same practical outcome done in the open. I can't imagine why! I think it is sad that he is afraid of her and she likes having something to use against him in a hypothetical future argument. I have to accept that some people like secrets and lies-- I've met people IRL like this and they will flat out admit to it, so I'm not just thinking that over at a distance. But I personally don't enjoy that. I would much rather have the trust, and I think it brings people closer together to be honest. It's especially noticeable to me in this episode, because they both want the same thing! So they could be closer if they just admitted it. It's not even a conflict! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8575570

Yup and those were the hours when my husband managed auto repair shops. Honestly I don't think we've ever seen a customer in the place, have we? I don't know why they haven't gone down that road. There are lots of comedic opportunities there. I have to say the portrayal of the shop itself is a little disappointing to me. I get what they're trying to do with Ruben but I'm just not finding it funny. The shop itself does look REALLY authentic, especially for its time, though, I have to hand it to them! 11 hours ago, shapeshifter said: Ah-ha! But yoiks! $800 for one.

That's probably because most of them are vintage since the company discontinued it in 1996. Although I read on Google that they came out with a new one last year. Why it's so expensive I don't know. You can get much better synthesizers for less these days. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8575721

So I fully believe that Jim and Georgie could both go away for a weekend. I've never understood why a lot of tire shops/oil change places continue with these antiquated ways of doing business. I was looking to get an oil change done a couple of weeks ago & out of 7 places where we live that do oil changes only one was open on either of the Saturday/Sunday weekend. Furthermore, not one of them was open past 6.00pm during the week, not all tire places here do oil changes as well, so I added them in to make a total 11 places with only 2 open on Saturday & zero open on a Sunday. In this day & age it is absolutely ridiculous for this to still be happening & you would think that surely someone at one of the major big corporate places would have the idea to open at the weekend/evenings, you know like when people are actually able to get there without taking time off work. I didn't include Walmart in my looking because if that was the last place on earth to get an oil change I would go without one.

Browncoat February 11 Share February 11 The locally-owned place I take my car to was recently bought by a larger conglomerate. Before they were bought out, they were open all day on Saturdays, but no more. I actually talked to them about it, and they said that Saturday was their least profitable day, and most of their negative reviews came from Saturdays (mostly about wait time, since they didn't have as many mechanics working on Saturdays), so they decided not to be open on that day anymore. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151729-s01e09-a-tire-convention-and-the-moral-high-ground/#findComment-8577912

Dimity February 15 Share February 15 FInally saw this one tonight, and maybe it was the contrast between this one and last night's episode but this was I actually enjoyed. Sure some stuff was problematic but overall it was what I expect from a sitcom. Some laughs, some silly situations and an upbeat ending. Based on this one and the subsequent one I have to say the show works better without the other Coopers. Never thought I'd say that.
