I forced my wife and daughter to watch Emmet Otter for the first time last year. I figured once they watched it they would enjoy it as much as I do.  I was wrong.

I don't know. I realize that Kristina/Adam situation had to resolve quickly for purposes of the show, but it struck me as a bit unrealistic.  First, Rachel calls Kristina to plead Adam's case. If anything, that would make it worse. If I was Kristina I would almost assume that Adam was discussing Kristina and his

Are neighborhoods like the Braverman's really within walking distance of bus lines in the first place? And, if so- would that same bus drop Max off in what appeared to be a post-apocalyptic Hell town?

It's simply outside the realm of possibility that Adam wouldn't text Kristina. Plus, Haddie could have called from her phone as well.  With that said, the incident certainly wasn't Kristina's fault in that Max would already have left the house when she was informed.

I'm not sure, but if the biological father isn't married to the mother, does he have the ability to hamper the adoption? He couldn't have prevented Zoe from aborting during the legal period- so why does he have a say now?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to like Muppets from Space.  Recent articles have made it seem like it was total garbage. I found it laugh out loud funny in parts.  I also was a fan of Muppet Treasure Island.  I think overall the Muppet style of humor has remained fresh throughout the 2000s (not counting the material

1) If the farmhouse and surrounding land were as secure as shown, there's no way I'd leave voluntarily.  The world has changed- Herschel either allows me to stay or he "allows" me to stay- even if that means he takes a one way trip to the barn.

True, it was really Mac's version of the other characters. I just really liked last week's episode- I guess this one just loses something in the comparison to me.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but especially after the last episode- I found this sorely lacking.  I can't put my finger on why- but I found most of the episode boring.  The characters didn't seem to be consistent with other episodes (not usually a problem, but this time it was for me).  Anyone else agree that this

I totally agree. I was telling my wife (before they mentioned the spoiled storyline) that at least they finally made a realistic depiction of kids being confused.  Charades can be difficult for a young child to grasp, especially when the pressure is on. Usually in shows like this, they have kids easily able to handle

With regard to Leslie, I think the author may have forgotten what real jealousy is like.  I remember vividly in my younger days going nuts just thinking about my girlfriend (or recent ex) enjoying another man's company- even if it's just talking.  It makes you act irrationally, and so I'm giving Leslie a pass here.

Could it be that they were Exorcist fans?

What is it with all the Bravermans barging into each other's places of business to speak about personal issues?  It's rude not only to the non-offending Braverman, but to the employees and clients.  There's a telephone, or simply wait until after work.

Crosby didn't really win that argument.  Jasmine pretended to apologize only because she knew in the next breath she'd tell Crosby that Joe is going to be a part of Jabbar's life now.  It's classic Jasmine. 

Let's not forget that Crosby wasn't in Jabbar's life all those years because she didn't tell him about his own son.  To me, that's even a worse sin than Crosby sleeping with Max's therapist.  For her to continually punish Crosby now seems spiteful and over the top.

While I understand that in theory- the highway of death with herds of zombies roaming around was only a few miles away.  And, there were zombies in the woods (not many, but still).  Hell, 5 miles isn't that much for zombies to wander when searching for food- they don't tire out and don't get discouraged.

Did anyone else find it ridiculous that the old farmhouse seemed completely untouched by the zombie outbreak?  I mean, they seemed to have no defenses or anything.  What if the zombies start heading over? They didn't even have boards on the windows!  Plus, they didn't even appear to be trying to hide from the zombies,

It was mentioned in the Stray Observations, but damn if it wasn't weird when old Geordi's corpse is just laid out on the slab and the others are talking about the Visor and not giving a damn about him at all.  How much harder would it have been to have the Visor talk take place somewhere else- after it looks like some

Lovelier with age? I almost didn't recognize her as the Die Hard actress either- but for opposite reasons.

Did that fish ever actually get removed? If so, who watched it? Not Geordi I hope. He can't handle pets.
