I think that was only one episode, and the plot more had to do with Tim enjoying spending time with the girls and wanting to have another kid. Also Tim's brother had been on a bunch before that, iirc he had a bunch of unseen brothers plus that one and another they showed now and then.

That movie was fun. Pretty well matched the tone of Dave Barry's book.

My stepdad was a contractor and my real dad restored classic cars. Needless to say I related enough to this show not to care how hokey it was. The episode where Jill's dad dies is one of the best meditations on grief as well as the logistics of dealing with a funeral in tv, arguably. The show wasn't deep or sharp but…

Sometimes parents just aren't that original.

I seem to remember some fun sketches but I haven't seen it since I was a child.

YES! For whatever reason this show seems to get lost in the wash of nostalgia, never getting the kind of thinkpieces that Clarissa Explains It All or Pete & Pete did. But as kids, this show was generally the most popular among us. Even though Pinsky was kind of obnoxious, he coincided with the show really finding its…

That's genius.

My ex wife was pretty effusive in her praise of it. Not sure what drew her into it so much but she was a pretty demented woman.

Doug Stanhope has an edict amongst his fans to turn any Tucker Max book around or cover it up whenever you see it in an airport newsstand or bookstore. I'd like to invite you all to help in this task.

I reserve judgment on them bottlenecking the character progression this week because I think it's gonna pay off big by the end of the season.

I wish they'd have kept it that way with Mac too. I hate hate hate the tv trope of "mono-named character is revealed to have punny name". The Simpsons has done it like 5 times.

Upvoted immediately.

I watch this on demand on cable like a common heathen and they still haven't added this episode yet.

I realized what PHOTO reminds me of: Stanley Tucci's character in The Lovely Bones. That creepy patrician demeanor, "Dont be rude!", trying to present intrusiveness as no big deal. I definitely get a predator vibe from that letter. Entitlement is barely the half of it.

Dead teenagers by the thousands!

I feel like that's more normal than this cat? Like, he's literally asking a stranger to scold someone he stalks for not selling him her panties. That sounds like some Ted Bundy shit.

Serious flashbacks to working at Old Town in Kissimmee, FL with this list.

Something about PHOTOs letter makes me feel like he should be on a list somewhere.
