Yes, but all of the actors playing Bravermans are regulars and are paid much more. Guest stars (like Hank, Ruby etc.) are guest stars and don't cost as much. In fact, Ray Romano was such a fan of the show he asked Jason Katims if he could be on it. It wouldn't surprise me if he was being paid very little

Probably both. I can see Kristina having the students teach as part of the curriculum (like the cooking). Then she can save more money and is able to continue this joke of a school until the authorities finally step in.

Ray Romano is wonderful on this show. The struggle to overcome communication problems, connect with his daughter, and maintain a friendly relationship with an ex is a part of parenthood. That's the name of the show after all; it's not Only the Bravermans as Parents show. And for all his problems, Hank is a better

Since not every major character can be in every episode (to save money), maybe they didn't have much choice except to use the Hank/Ruby storyline to fill episodes. It's not ideal, but I would still rather watch Ray Romano than Max/Kristina. Man, that kid gets away with everything. Kristina clearly has a conflict of

A minor point, but did anyone else notice that Connie Nielson's face looked orange in this episode, much like Jill Hennessey's did a few weeks ago? Weird and distracting.

I kind of like the fact that Sarah isn't going through a lot of drama. She seems to have finally settled down and is acting like a grown-up instead of going from one career (and relationship) after another. I like her with Hank. And she seems genuinely happy and content.

I was also thinking that Elias looked concerned about Dominic's mention of Riley. After Harold's talk with Elias, I think that Elias is realizing he's going to have to be more careful about his posturing and what he says. I think he's actually feeling protective of the team.

It definitely found it's footing during the last half of the first season. The last few stand out in my mind."Matsya Nyaya", "Many Happy Returns", "No Good Deed", and "Firewall. It became more serialized as season 2 went on, and season 3 was pretty much all serialized with some procedural elements in it.
I've loved it

Why would they re-set this to an A? If there was ever a perfect episode of any show, this was it. The last one I can think of was The Devil's Share.

Not that there haven't been great episodes already this season, but this INCREDIBLE episode leaves them in the dust. Awesome job, writers! I can see that the different forces involved are going to come together in an epic fashion. And even though there was no Bear, how great was it to see Nathan again?

Frankly, I'm siding with Crosby on this one. He's basically trying to save the business while Adam takes whatever time he wants to help Kristina at the school, doing whatever she wants him to do. And Adam reams him out for not getting it done without taking responsibility for his own screw-up? Crosby is trying to do

The parents of the girl Sydney bullied were awful? Are you joking? They have been the only ones on this show who have told Julia and Joel what they needed to hear. They were saying enough with the excuses already - do something about it!

I think that the Brotherhood is going to be the tool used by Samaritan to locate Team Machine. If you remember the season premiere, when the Brotherhood was introduced, Samaritan's operative clued into the fact that Team Machine was involved in those events. I think that the Brotherhood will play larger role in the

I love Ray Romano on this show. He's been one of the only ones to point out and question the crazy stuff this family has pulled. I would much prefer to see him than any scene with Kristina or Sydney. His storyline last season was awesome, and normally I don't really like Max that much, but he and Hank were great

She was one of the best from the best SNL era.
It's too bad the Sinatra Group video can't be seen in Canada. She and Phil Hartman made that one of the funniest skits I can remember from that show.
I really hope NBC airs a SNL tribute show for her so we can see some of these again

That's what I thought he was doing. He seemed to be impersonating Reese. Considering all the time Finch has had to observe him, that made sense to me.

Also "Cure te Ipsum" and definitely "Many Happy Returns". Both great insights into Reese

I loved the throwback to the pilot episode: Reese with the smoke grenade launcher and then starting to lecture the thugs about the way they were shooting their guns. I like how it started everyone off in a new direction while still respecting where it started.

Great acting, writing, and beautifully filmed. Man, I love this show. I really hope another (better) network picks it up - it's definitely one of the higher-quality shows out there.

It was always an extra treat whenever she was on Law & Order. She brought a special kind of attitude that I loved.
