Right? This is bad. Seriously stupid "twist" - not a twist at as we knew it was a "reality" show.
I can't believe people liked this. Me, I'm done. I was looking to be truly surprised by some unique twist on the boring frame story and this nonsense is pedestrian as can be.
Really, really bad. I won't finish the season.…

His family even comments on his fancy-talking.

I think they are wise not to over-use him as he can become Too Much.

It's officially a "recommendation" not a prescription, but yeah any doctor can - many won't.

Right? I love how the show constantly rewards us for watching every episode by not just resetting their worlds every storyline.

That's an interesting take on it. I think he fetishizes them as a family regardless of the baby. Recall he claims "we *are* a family" and Lindsay shoots him down with a declaration that families can't be two people.

Absolutely the joke about not knowing the system is more modern but the pun of Dewey being used in place of "do we" is quite old.

I don't think the show is showing this new coping mechanism as necessarily a good thing. Like most choices, there are short term effects and long term ones. We haven't seen the last of his issues, I'm sure.

It's totally Los Angeles Porn. But no other show seems to have captured that special L.A. quality quite like this one.
It's not pseudo metropolitan though. It's just something else entirely that other cities can't ever imitate.

Paul is a broken person with no self worth. He doesn't love her - he just wants to know he has her because he fears (quite rightly) that she isn't the sort of girl guys like him usually marry. But he doesn't really want the real Lindsay - he wants a neutered version, like a pet.
They are both awful in their own ways.…

A variation of this pun is in the Stadtler Brother's "Do You Remember These" song from the 70s.
