Parenthood

[KyleEl]

Well, it's beginning to look like he will. It's a quirky relationship.

It was another entertaining and often funny episode. I don't know why Crosby is hanging out with his father instead of trying to find another way to make money, but the two of them together was the best part of the episode anyway.

I like Amber's new boyfriend and hope he just needed time to figure out how he was going to deal with the pregnancy.

Drew has bikinis on his wall! Or if he has a rommate, maybe it's his roommate's bikinis.

I still don't like what's happening with Joel and Julia. And I don't like Julia's new boyfriend. But as long as I'm looking at her, I can't be too unhappy.

[Deleted]

I didn't think Amber had a boyfriend.

[KyleEl]

She doesn't. It was just one date, plus the visit to the dog park. I was exaggerating.

[Deleted]

Okay I didn't know that Kyle.

[KyleEl]

And now that they've moved forward several months, apparently he's not coming back.

This was a very pleasant episode for a change.

Sarah and Amber playing that game seemed like Lorelai and Rory. I know it made Ruby miserable, but that was worth it because Amber was so nice to her.

I couldn't get a good look at Drew's girlfriend but apparently she was just wearing a shirt.

I like how Adam and Crosby had reactions from what one would expect to Drew's desire to major in business. You would think Crosby would be the one to tell him to do what he wants in college. But I wondered how he and Jasmine were making it. Does she have a job? There was no way they would take a great vacation.

Thanks for sharing your feelings Kyle.

[KyleEl]

This week's episode was a lot of fun. Especially Zeek with Drew in the GTO. I probably eat healthier than Zeek wants to, but it's understandable that he doesn't like what he's being told to eat. It's not worth staying alive if you're miserable.

I like how Hank's ex and Sarah are getting along now.

Amber and Max trying to deal with Nora was great. Nora finally made a real contribution. I think Sarah was too hard on Hank because it's normal for men not to think something like Amber crying was a big deal. I hope Max can go to Alcatraz later, but I was hoping that somehow they'd solve that problem.

I always put my keys in the one place because I'd never remember them otherwise.

The one negative was Joel and Julia, but even that had a positive outcome. I'm not optimistic Julia will take Joel back, but it's looking better.

Hanks Ex and Sarah aren't getting a long at all Kyle from what I have seen.

Thanks for sharing Kyle.

Not earlier, but things looked better this past week.

I haven't seen last night's. I couldn't even finish whatever I was watching. It was bedtime.

[Deleted]

Yes I agree it did get better with Sarah and Hank Ex, There is something really wrong with Hank mentally.

[Deleted]

I haven't seen last night episode yet.

[KyleEl]

I don't think Hank has that many problems. Certainly not compared to Max. I did find his daughter's party and Hank's attempts to deal with it entertaining.

I sure hope Crosby and Adam can solve their problems. I can't believe Crosby thought he'd get in that place with pot, and now he lost that big chance. I'm glad Amber's all right. I thought Jasmine was already working and I can see why she might not like that job, but you do what you have to, I guess. I'm glad to see her mother being so important.

Drew has to focus on his studies now. He really does.

It's been a while since we saw Max really get upset but I was impressed with how his mom could handle it.

[Deleted]

I saw the episode and it didn't look good from the start with Max she was only using him to have a family because her family is always gone and she never saw him more than just a friend and he did sohe got screwed and probably will continually throughout his life.

[KyleEl]

Maybe so. I've seen plenty of characters who did that. Steve Urkel is probably the most famous.

The man who created the show has a son who the character of Max is based on, and one of the kids at the school was played by a man with that last name. I figure that was him.

No time for last night's episode yet.

[Deleted]

I see what you mean Kyle.

I haven't had the time for last-night episode either yet.

[KyleEl]

I saw a commercial so I knew Zeek was going to need an ambulance. I'm not happy about that but at least I was prepared. I guess Drew did what he had to do. I think this plan is kind of ambitious, but it's obviously on hold.

I was amazed at how they handled Max. I also wonder where he got the word "repentant" as the family isn't religious except for Jasmine having been brought up going to church. I really though Max was in trouble. And yet his parents were calm about the situation and in Offscreenville they managed to teach him what he needed to know.

I was wrong about the son. It was a girl in the credits so it must have been the sister of the boy Max is based on.

I really hoped Joel and Julia would patch things up but she is so determined.

Sarah has the nicest smile. And in some situations she still looks so young. I also thought I was seeing Amber. Amazing how she started out looking like the woman who was going to play her mother and somehow she now looks like the woman who plays her mother.

Poor Ruby. She thought she was going to be the lead for two nights and then without warning, it's over. They handled all that really well.

[KyleEl]

I accidentally saw a commercial. I am not looking forward to next week. They make it sound like Zeek is going to die. I don't care if this is the last season. They can't do that.

On the other hand, if the scene where it happens hasn't been filmed, Lauren has something to help her come up with the right emotions.

At least it also sounds like Joel and Julia will get back together.

[KyleEl]

What a relief. It wasn't as bad as they suggested. It almost never is. That's why I avoid spoilers and "next week".

I liked seeing Zeek smile as his family was around him. And pretty much every scene where he was doing okay.

I hate that the recording studio was vandalized. But I'm glad they won't give up on it.

When Drew couldn't start the car I was afraid there was something symbolic about that. It was a good time he had with his grandfather. But the car isn't actually dead.

Where was Max?

That chapel sure was big. The hospital in my county has this tiny little room. They had a chance to have one of those big chapels, but it wouldn't have been in the main building or even close to it. They bought a church that had moved and tore most of it down for a parking lot. Some of the hospital's offices are in what's left.

[KyleEl]

Crosby and Kristina were presenters on the People's Choice Awards, in the hip-hop category. They explained how they were perfect for that.

I didn't get the iced tea joke the first time around. I recorded it so I was able to listen again. I get it. Ice-T.

[KyleEl]

If they were all as good as last night's episode this would be among my top 10 favorite shows.

Crosby can live on in "About a Boy". He was at the poker game this week and asked Will to come to The Luncheonette to record something. Apparently at that time, The Luncheonette was still operating. The creator of this show also created that one.

I wish Julia had been naked because it would have been funnier when Sydney knocked on the door. But that takes creativity since you have to hide certain body parts.

So they got the GTO fixed. I really liked the scenes with Zeek and drew. Well, pretty much every scene with Zeek. And I liked how they got to go back to the old house.

That was a beautiful picture of Sarah.

Amber's dad tried. Luckily Hank came along.

I can't say I'm happy Hank and Sarah are getting married.

I hope Joel and Julia get back together, but it's really looking like that will happen.

I hope The Luncheonette can survive too. And as I said above, it has a chance at a second life even after the finale.

[KyleEl]

I'm once again reminded of why this isn't in my top ten favorites.

I was so worried Joel and Julia were going to break up again. But everything worked out.

About last week: one of the photos Max developed has been appearing in the opening credits. But that's a different reality.

I guess The Luncheonette is closed. They will have to deal with this in "About a Boy". Or maybe not. They don't ever have to have Crosby playing poker. I hate the way they argued about Jasmine talking to Adam.

Sarah can sing! Or rather Lauren can sing. Why did she never sing on her other show? And she mentioned The Dragonfly!

Appropriately, it was last night (or was yesterday the right day) that Amber and Sarah mentioned her decision to have the baby. Don't they mean keep the baby? The other alternative is too terrible to think about. I am pro-choice but don't like seeing that choice made.

Max said 85 percent of those who are autistic are unemployed. Until only a few years ago, I thought autistic people were those who were incapable of functioning. But Asperger's is different. "Boston Legal" had a lawyer with Asperger's. People think Sheldon Cooper on "Big Bang Theory" with his many doctorates has Asperger's.

[KyleEl]

And it's over. So sad.

It was weird to see Max smile but some of those smiles looked forced. He did a good job photographing Hank and Sarah's wedding.

Joel and Julia really are back together! And Victor has a sister. And they finally did adopt.

So Crosby can run The Luncheonette on his own, with Amber. I'm so relieved for both of them.

Adam has long seemed right at home at the school.

I hate that Zeek died but they couldn't have found a better way to do it. Though the family seemed entirely too happy when they dumped his ashes and then played baseball or softball.

All those scenes from the future were nice.

[Deleted]

Thanks for sharing Kyle.

[KyleEl]

At a library I saw people's comments about the finale in TV Guide. One said it was the Lorelai wedding we had all wished for, except we wanted it to be Luke.

[Deleted]

I saw that too Kyle.

[Deleted]

I am kinda sad it didn't last longer.

[KyleEl]

Zeek is coming back in his old TV series "Coach".

Kristina and her family were on "Family Feud" last week. They won their game.
