I am LOVING the muppet babies of these characters.

I think they let her be the driver because look at her! She's a sweet, adorable, tiny white girl who always looks nice and unthreatening, probably posed no flight risk or behavioral offenses (she doesn't seem to have outbursts like Suzanne).

I wouldn't say they all have sob stories, but most people don't do those types of offenses (drug stuff, fraud) without some kind of reason. I think they've done an ok job (and a much better job this season) balancing sympathy and horror over what these women have done/let happen.

I've been looking over the entire internet and NOBODY'S GOTTEN TO 4 YET and it's driving me CRAZYYYY.

No, I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that as a shorthand for the Belchers' blue collar struggles, often the rich white male villains on the show get a get out of jail free card from the end-of-episode crisis. This time it just coincidentally happened to literally involve getting out of jail free.

People have been stumping for April on these boards all season, but once I saw her potential runway looks, I was sold. We were really missing some excellent runway this season! Trinity was amazing, and Darienne is a great makeup queen, but like yawn when it came to most of those outfits.

Uh, no, not really (though there's probably an argument to be made that non-white women, especially black women, face some discrimination when compared to white women or men) but as far as the show goes they definitely play on the rich white male get-out-of-jail free card. This was the rare time it was literally about

Yep! If this show is ever cynical about anything, it's about how blue-collar class and money struggles are eternal, which gave the whole gentrification plot some real stakes.

Especially since Blazing Saddles has not just great gags but a pretty great story, which A Million Ways to Die in the West… doesn't.

Plus, they survived a mid-season move there that was only advertised for like two weeks before it happened.

But Fox is doing terrrrrrrrrrible right now, and only managed to keep like 1 or 2 new comedies that premiered this year and only green light like 1 or 2 more. They've also been more focused on figuring out how to bump Tuesday nights with Mindy and New Girl, which are doing far worse for them than Sunday night. And

Yeah, I saw this pretty in line with the show's other (rare) cynical moments. Usually the richest, whitest, man-iest person gets away scot-free, especially when the show reverts to their bourgeoisie-villian-of-the-week formula
