That seems to work well enough for this show. I could actually stream it onto my phone in the kitchen, but that seems unnecessary for this show. If it wasn't followed by over 2 hours of much better TV, it might actually get more attention. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8587248

iarwain Friday at 02:36 PM Share Friday at 02:36 PM Still didn't think the show was funny, but I found the episode entertaining enough.

appositival Friday at 02:40 PM Share Friday at 02:40 PM Fred Fagenbacher really dodged a bullet there! He really needs to see Audrey being ugly to someone. I wonder if he will ever show up again. I was hoping that Georgie would stay at Fagenbacher's long enough to sell something, but I guess succeeding is not in the cards for this season. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8587296

I haven't enjoyed much of this show except a few rare moments and was finally going to give up until I saw that preview. Even easygoing Jim is showing his dark side.

MaryMitch Friday at 04:15 PM Share Friday at 04:15 PM I liked this - it showed how good at sales and people skills Georgie is. I do agree with Jim that Georgie shouldn't have ordered the tires, but I'm glad it worked out. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8587367

Audrey seemed to think she was the one that dodged the bullet, but then at the end… I guess they had "chemistry." How about Audrey leaves Jim for Fred, and Jim hooks up with Mary?

Dimity Yest. at 12:06 AM Share Yest. at 12:06 AM I think I've realized what my biggest problem with this show is, I just don't care about any of the characters. Maybe a little bit about Georgie but Mandy and her family just leave me totally cold. I'm not even saying I don't like them, I don't don't care what happens to any of them. 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8587716

I didn't want Jim to beg him to come back. Jim is Georgie's boss. If he said not to order the Korean tires, then Georgie should've done what he was told. He's young. He has a lot to learn. Had that been any other employer, he would've been fired on the spot. Even if Georgie is right, he's not the boss!

Yeah No Yest. at 02:01 AM Share Yest. at 02:01 AM I didn't hate this episode but I didn't love it either. I'm more focused on the realistic car repair shop sets, LOL. I feel like they're not putting much effort into this and the situations and characters are boring. Although I did like the scenes at the competitor's tire shop and Audrey's interactions with Fred. They could have done so much more to make this laugh out loud funny. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8587834
janeyjay 12 hours ago Share 12 hours ago I keep trying to like this show, in deference to how fond I am of "Young Shelton" but Show keeps letting me down. I like Georgie, Mandy's OK and then of course Cece but the rest of the McAllisters... meh. The writers are not providing Rachel Bay Jones and Will Sasso anything worthwhile to work with, as they are (IMO) much better than the material they're being given. This episode was a prime example of this -- coulda, shoulda, woulda -- but wasn't. I had a hard time believing that Audrey was all that in high school because she's so not that as an adult. I just want the show to be better than it is. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8588072
iarwain 12 hours ago Share 12 hours ago 13 hours ago, Yeah No said: I'm more focused on the realistic car repair shop sets, LOL. Someone mentioned in another episode thread that there are never any customers in the shop - or hardly ever any, anyway. Which makes me think, whenever I go to the local tire shop, there are always people waiting in there. Maybe it's because Jim appears to only have one worker there who does actual manual labor, and they schedule things sparingly. But it looks a little strange. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151973-s01e11-working-for-the-enemy/#findComment-8588090
