I think the first mistake was when her husband pressed her into adopting a baby because they were SUPPOSED to have three. The only good side of the third triplet dying is that taking care of twins would be somewhat less exhausting than taking care of triplets. Taking care of twins plus another unrelated baby would be…

I would like this show more if it didn't seem to be anointing itself all the time. The discussions of each episode with the cast are the best example of this, provided as they were before anyone had the chance to request them.

Well said.
But you want "flout."

She has always tended to exaggerate for dramatic effect. I think daily shows (other than straight news reports obviously) are a mistake. Like soap operas, they rely too much on cliffhangers and repetition. Well, at least Maddow hasn't had an evil twin plot.

It seems to have consistently high ratings.

Leave Mordi alone, people. Subtitles are annoying, especially when you are watching while doing other things.

You people are all wrong. Trump is a modelizer.

The word you want is "champing" in this case.

It started mid-decade, when the kids were starting high school.

Donald Trump is pop culture related. Aside from his own reality show, he is mentioned frequently by characters in 80s and 90s TV shows.

At less than one season, it would be odd if this show repeated story lines.

Reaganesque.

I bet your job is so fun that you don't even read AV Club during it. Mine is more like Office Space.

And next week responsible Randall finds out what his brother did and feels even worse.

Do people have to declare themselves "dog or cat" person in real life? Why always on TV?
Another thing I want to complain about although it isn't about this show—TV phone calls where they just hang up without saying goodbye.

Hollywood loves the grand gesture. But most real people don't, I think.
The most realistic treatment of this topic was on The Middle, when Sue professed her love over the loudspeaker on morning announcements and would have permanently ruined her junior high life if anyone had known who she was.

Ah, My So Called Life. What a beautiful, special show.
