Eataton May 22, 2019 Author Share May 22, 2019 As soon as I heard Katy Mixon say "It's a musical. Get over it!" I knew it wasn't worth watching and it's probably over. What a shame. Whether the laziness comes from the writers or producers, if they don't care why should I? Too bad. It could've been a good show. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5316046
crimsongrl May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 Ugh, a musical episode. Took about 10 minutes to watch since I FF through the songs. Why doesn't Katie use Greg's office for work calls? Or better yet teach her kids some manners! In my house growing up you NEVER interrupt someone on the phone unless it's an emergency. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5316053
Keywestclubkid May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 (edited) Be Westport or whatever it was called was the only good song. She does have a really good voice tho. And once again a Taylor joke stole the whole thing for me. It says Washington? I thought it said wash a ton so I did 6 times.

Plus, you think Greg would learn by now, that as soon as something valuable or rare is in his house, problems are going to happen.

Katie still is going to have to deal with crap from the town next season and Greg needs to stop being part of these groups.

JenLily May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 I didn't care for this episode, but not because of the musical aspect. I can't stand when TV shows and movies have the mother be all desperate for validation and gratitude from the people around them. This smacked of what I didn't like in the pilot, and had they continued down that route I would've stopped watching almost immediately. It's interesting because last night's "The Kids Are Alright" had a similar plot where Peg was pissed when she thought she was being taken for granted but they handled it in such a way where I wasn't rolling my eyes and groaning, "Get over it" at the TV. On a positive note, I was pleasantly surprised by everyone's singing voices, particularly Katie's and Cooper's. And that catchy little Westport number was stuck in my head for no less than an hour after the episode ended. 😄 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5317447

I remember Katy's singing voice from her role as Victoria in Mike & Molly. There was a poignant scene where she was making up a dearly departed (she played a make-up artist for a funeral home) and she softly sang "Paparazzi." I think there were a few other times with her singing, always good. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5317820

One4Sorrow2TooBad May 23, 2019 Share May 23, 2019 Ok, putting on my fire suit, I loved____ this episode. The musical and dancing sections were well done, all involved should be congratulated on all their hard work and efforts that's required to make this all happen. I understand musicals aren't everyone's cup of tea, heck, when I was in my 20's, I didn't care for them either. Somewhere along the way I learned that a lot of work goes into making it happen. It always amazes me how Busby Berkeley could produce such precise choreography on such a grand scale. Rare to see in this day and age. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5319252
Yeah No May 23, 2019 Share May 23, 2019 (edited) Well I didn't hate this episode but I didn't love it either. I was a big "Crazy ex-Girlfriend" fan so I'm no stranger to the musical aspect in a comedy, and I can like it, just not on a regular basis on this particular show. I think it was a fun idea for a season finale, although it didn't really do anything for the characters or their story lines. It did, however, showcase their musical talents well. I didn't know Katy could sing like that. We did get to hear Taylor sing on another episode and her talent rivals if not eclipses Katy's. So I get why the show wanted to make this episode, and I can live with it once but please, no more. And yes to Taylor hanging out with 3 random Josh's out of the blue seeming weird and off. Plus the musical numbers fit in awkwardly with the rest of the show, except maybe for the Westport one, which I liked. I think they must have liked the "Crazy ex" idea but didn't know how to do it as well. So let's hope they don't do it again.

iMonrey May 23, 2019 Share May 23, 2019 I usually hate musical episodes but I thought this was pretty good. It helps when the singers can actually sing and the songs aren't awful. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the actors did, and that Westport number at the Bistro was surprisingly catchy. Nice way to end the season. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/93633-so3e23-a-moms-parade/#findComment-5321231
