S01.E05: The Snub


Recommended Posts

I love how un-PC Katie is, even moreso in her internal dialogue/voiceover.

Katie & Greg agreeing that Oliver is a douche, him doing his chors at night so his friends couldnt see, and especially him starting a business venture with the neighbor's housekeeper was great. 

I loved Katie's physical reaction to that bizarre noise 'eyeball-shirt girl' made at the end.

Maybe I was just in a good mood, but this episode was . . . kind of good? I'm kind of getting a kick out of the preppy Republican son and I thought Katie's attempts to fit in with the Westport women was funny. It was so easy for her to sucker them and I love her facial expressions. I also got a kick out of Greg breaking the window and yelling "Run!" and the daughter goes "We live here." 

Just one question - what kind of a name is "Anna-Kat?"

Maybe this is one of those shows that just has to grow on you. I remember I didn't think Superstore was very good when I started watching it and now it's one of my favorite shows.

I think the name Anna Kat has to be a nickname. Watching the episode was amusing and made me wonder what my life had would have been like if I'd had girls instead of 2 boys (now grown). The trend around here in New Jersey seemed to be that all the boys (or girls) in the class were invited to a child's birthday party in kindgarten/first grade. After that, the kids decided who they wanted to invite and the moms stayed out of it, as far as I know.

The whole first episode I thought her name was "Annika" until the bit with the dad reading the story about a cat and obviously punning. I agree with the "short for Anna-Katherine" theory. If it's anything else, that's too cloying.

 

Funny you make the Superstore comparison. I find it quite apt.

I assume Anna-Kat is a nickname for Anna Katherine. Love the kid and the nickname.

In tonight's episode, we found out that Katie's mother is named Katherine, and Katie is obviously some version of that, and likely so is Anna-Kat.  If Greg and Katie hadn't had 2 daughters, I guess there wouldn't have been a third generation "Katherine", though, since the older daughter is Taylor.  Maybe Katie initially resisted passing on her mother's name.
