not gonna lie, I really want my own celebrity pig doll collection.

Glad that after next week, I never have to return to Chambers Academy again and watch as smug Christina smugly shows how smugly perfect she is.

I was getting annoyed at Adam's advice to that kid as well. Some better advice: Edgar, if you're rubbish at something you love when you start out - and many, many people are - try again until you get better at it. (I mean, don't get delusional about it. But still, you need to put a bit of effort in.)

I'm gonna miss these updates on Haddie/Sarah Ramos after next week. How about keeping them going on the reviews for a different show? It's not like another show could refer to Haddie any less often than Parenthood does…

Your comment may be responsible for an imminent slight decrease in my bank balance.

Have to admit, I didn't even notice the kids weren't there during the episode.

Seconding the other comments. I'd go as far as to say I prefer Friday Night Lights over Parenthood. Mr and Mrs Coach are the best portrait of a strong, supportive marriage I've seen on TV, I think.

thanks for that, I'll keep an ear out. I've just watched a couple more episodes and still finding the music a little distracting, tbh.

I've started re-watching the entire series from the beginning as a coping mechanism.

Florrick Agos doesn't really go in for privacy much, does it? Moving from offices with no walls back to the LG offices with only windows

Anyone here remember Awake, with hello to Jason Isaacs? It got cancelled after one season which I loved, but I wasn't too sorry that it got cancelled - not entirely sure how the premise could have been extended for seasons upon seasons (guy lives in two different realities after a car accident - in one, his wife is…

Quite apart from the lack of respect (by the show as well as Adam and Kristina) shown for Sarah's job - a rare storyline mostly relating to her work rather than her boyfriend of the moment

I nearly had to stop watching, I was getting so irate at Kristina. (Actually, at the show, which seems to pretty much endorse both her and Max's behaviour.)

my favourite line of the night - 'my father was a police officer'

re 4: the kid was getting regularly beaten up in general detention. Will suggested getting him into isolation to stop it, but the kid initially refused, saying he'd become suicidal if he moved there.

That song is such stupid catchy fun. Though I think the cast/crew music video is what makes it great. (In particular Christine Baranski's committed dancing in curlers with a hairbrush.)

Re: dark turn, remember how ruthless Peter becomes when his family is threatened? And Alicia knows it, and is provoking his chest-beating defense.

Sally had also thanked Daniel Douglas for his help, patience and restraint, or words to that effect, earlier on, which I find interesting. Did she know he was gay (or maybe 'ex-gay' given her political/religious affiliations)? And then she snapped when it turned out he hadn't been able to keep it in his pants after…

B-.

I think that pretty much sums up every episode of Scandal: "SO MUCH HAPPENED!"
