I do not in ANY way believe that that was the way the scene was intended to read. That scene absolved Jimmy of nothing. I'm certain that Chuck's claims were exaggerated, but I still find it highly likely that Jimmy regularly ripped off the store.

She was really good in Good Girls Revolt (RIP).

Exactly.

No, for her ass.

I don't disagree with that statement. But the point is that she always been more materialistic than she realized or was willing to admit to herself. I thought that was the entire point of the scene…a moment of self-realization.

Yes! And also Sassoon.

You say that like Jabberjaw is something bad!

If we're delving into lesser 80s NBC shows, it's time to give the 100 Episodes treatment to Gimme A Break —- which somehow lasted for 137 episodes. Was Nell Carter really that endearing?

Many moons ago, when Netflix was just something that came in the mail, my girlfriend and I decided to try and watch every Elvis movie in chronological order (unfortunately Netflix didn't have a couple), so by the time we arrived at Change of Habit, we were pretty exhausted from the entire endeavor. But still, tonally…

Hahahahahaha…I guess you never frequented the Community reviews.

Actually, just the opposite, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans were at their peak in the late 70s/early 80s. 84 is definitely Calvin Klein era, with Guess taking over in a couple of years.

I thought that the Gabriel scene would likely be her swan song, so I was quite surprised to see her pop up again. But that said, it would be a complete shock IMO if she popped up in Season 6. At this point, she has nothing to contribute to the arc or endgame. She got her happy-ish ending.

And I would in fact argue that "petty" is actually now the MORE acceptable usage.

It certainly seems that way, doesn't it? Which is, in a word, ridiculous. The Americans has usually been the farthest thing from "on the nose"…but Renee turning out to be a spy would be the very definition of that term.

"I'm just saying Elizabeth has never given a shit about materialistic goods ever."

Could not disagree more with your last sentence. I get that you got a different interpretation of the scene, but I think the look on Russell's face was very obviously, "Oh shit, I kida like America." Not for even one second did your interpretation cross my mind.

That's by far the most intelligent thing written in this comments section. I wouldn't describe myself as a Tucker Max fan by any measure, but there were definitely some funny moments in the book. As you describe, he definitely possesses a joyless self-loathing, and in many ways is "in on the joke" —- even if the…

Is that on YouTube? Really want to check this out.

You are advocating for permanent DST then, because DST has no effect on December.
