agreed. other than a cute face, I'm not quite getting the appeal.

yes, I was reminded of Bill MacNeal, Phil Hartman's character on Newsradio, who once said, "I don't care for music."

I think they're shading her like Leslie Knope that way. quirky and weird, but hypercompetent.

I'm thinking that our protagonist will eventually have an epiphany and come to the realization that she doesn't need Josh, and that happiness lies within, et cetera. but if the show doesn't tack that way, and Rebecca implodes, well…that's so dark and unexpected I'd give the show points just for ballsiness and…

if it's any consolation, that's what I thought the reviewer meant as well.

yeah, the minute she divulged to Eli who the target of the bribery sting was, I rolled my eyes. what a glaring inconsistency.

if that's the case, then again: why the freakout? so he can stress-eat and put on a fat suit, I guess.

dude, we're all here because we love television and we love this show and want to talk about it after each episode airs. to pretend I'm being dramatic or unreasonable ignores the entire point of this comment section. last week a number of people discussed their reluctance to recommend this show to their friends…

you're right. why critique anything, even episodes of television? oh, wait…

indeed! now if only there were an easy fix for that.

different perspectives, John. I'm more than willing to pay higher taxes to ensure my friends with kids have access to quality daycare and public schools. I'll even work a few extra hours or skip lunch if my coworkers need some time to pick up sick children or stay home with them. but I'm not coming over to your house…

wow. you're hilarious.

agreed. and I made it clear that I know that further on down the thread.

I suppose I just get irritated with the notion that in sitcom-land birth control doesn't exist. after all, there are only so many plot-points a show can encounter before a baby scare (or a new baby) becomes necessary. I just wish this show would eschew those narrative conceits.

there's an easy fix for that! it's called birth control, one method of which is a vasectomy, which Terry refused.

despite your anatomically incorrect description of what a vasectomy is, I get what you're saying. I watch Married, and there's an episode where Russ reluctantly agrees to a vasectomy. but he laments the fact that he'll no longer be "dangerous" (read: potent). and I actually felt for him, despite the fact that I'm…

I'm here, like a lot of people, because I take TV very seriously. but thanks for your suggestion!

I get really irritated with plotlines that involve men skipping out on vasectomies.

that's not even the least funny part. the least funny part is that Terry's entire situation could have been avoided if he had gone through with his vasectomy like his wife asked.
