I just noticed today that ZEP had unwatched episodes on my queue! Watched with gratitude. It really is wonderful distraction for me. Really enjoyed the performances. I'm going to miss Joan though. Pout.

Ann, that's a ferret.

ZEP: Funniest. Love. Scene. Ever.

Yes, Fred. I may have to rewatch that. I was dying. Great music selections.

There was sadness, but a little song, a little dance, and the world is a better place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I laughed out loud at that scene.

ZEP

They started out cringeworthy, then moved to one of my favorite songs, then moved into "Oh, hell no!" territory, all in the opening.

That is soooo far beyond watch-from-the-hall for me, on several levels. Maybe I'll try watching the rest this weekend on the web site, when I can skip around. and pause, and take things in very small segments.

Oh dear, I haven't watched the latest one yet. Sounds, yikes! A couple episodes ago when DH watched with me he asked why I said this was a comedy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yes, it was a pretty heavy episode. And the comic relief part was pretty cringey.

On the other hand — trying not to spoil — the last musical number was a brilliant reimagination of a very familiar song. Almost unrecognizable in a good way.

Agreed on all the above.

Certainly not a comedy. If I have thoughts on further episodes, I'll put them in Natter.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So I just realized, Max & Mo's restaurant is pretty much a slight updating of the restaurant that "the gang" tried to fix and drove out of business on Seinfeld

Finally watched the episode. I thought it was more amusing than some this season. It could be because the boss reminds me a lot of an old boss of mine. I was disappointed that there wasn't a big finale number with the whole group when Simon gave his news conference. I saw all the people and was excited for a big ensemble dance number. I like the characters, but mostly I am there for the song and dance!

I want to restaurant to get going because I feel it has lots of potential for stories, and lots of room for choreography.
