Pool has always been there. (Just not used too much). Remember Mallory was in the pool on Labor Day weekend when Robert and Sol were going to make their announcement back in Season 1.

Agreed…it's so hard for me NOT to watch. I'm still holding off on the last few episodes and try to only indulge myself over the weekends. 2 seasons a year (or one LONG season) would be awesome!

You are so right! Huge hunks have gone missing all in the name of adding more commercials. Some stations are running 30 minute sitcoms in 40 minute slots. (I'm thinking Get TV)

Well now I know what I will be doing this morning…toning my calves.

Dinner Theater is ALWAY chic. Just let me get my hat and white gloves and we can go.

But she knows Joan. She hangs up the one phone that was off the hook and the phone starts ringing. Multiple phones leaves less to chance. Mamacita knows best.

LOVED that. Such a perfect moment!

So hard to do though right???

You really think so? I thought she was a disappointing character. I'd want more for Dolly.

We all ready covered that bit last season. His birth mother was a big let down (for him)
