Meow Mix March 3, 2023 Share March 3, 2023 I suspect that the producers came up with the themes or at least helped them. I am sure that the costumes were rented and paid for by the show. Last year when there was no more show, only a few of them did costumes and most of those were pretty basic. As usual, Michael had to sew something for Kelly and Gil because they are too lazy to do it themselves. I'm surprised the theme didn't go by the wayside this year because the producers weren't around to make suggestions. I also wonder who will actually show up. Lawson should be done being "on the ground" in Turkey by then. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19868-meet-the-parents-gil-and-kelly-jo-bates/page/5/#findComment-7895850

floridamom March 7, 2023 Share March 7, 2023 Michael and Brandon's costumes don't seem to go with the theme or am I missing something? They are dressed like it's 1770. How does that fit in with Sherlock Holmes, etc? I am shocked at Josie's costume. A few years ago, her parents would never have allowed her to dress in such a way at a family event; respect your parents' rules and all. As expected, no explanation from Gil and Kelly as to why this is now OK. I know, they are married and it's their husband's rules that fly, but still, some of their children have "left the fold" regarding this. I bet that Michael secretly wishes that women still dressed the way she is for this event. She is an excellent seamstress if she made those costumes herself. Great job. Is Gil supposed to be James Bond? I bet they never saw any of those movies after their "conversion". 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19868-meet-the-parents-gil-and-kelly-jo-bates/page/5/#findComment-7902179

Paul had 2 wives according to Wiki. First one, Sarah, died in 1773. Presuming they are portraying the Reveres at the time of the Midnight Ride (on the 18th of April in '75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year), Michael is probably meant to be wife #2 Rachel, who he married in 1773, right after the death of the first wife. Revere certainly qualifies as a spy. I had to memorize that poem in 6th grade and I like to show off.
