Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I laughed out loud at that scene.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Because I'm always behind when it comes to watching stuff, I started watching Schitt's Creek last week. My 100% shallow comment is: Eugene Levy can still GET IT.

I said what I said.

That's fair

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Checks out.
