That was really stupid of them, revealing this so soon. It's the opposite of enjoyable, anticipating the death of the character whose actor I initially watched because of.
But the way the show is, his death doesn't mean he would necessarily be gone from the show. They regularly flash back to different times. It is not like there is anything chronological about the flashbacks.


As for Kate and her boyfriend's 'food issues', this is probably the realest portrayal I've ever seen on TV. I think people need to see how hard it is, so people struggling realize it isn't them and maybe people who haven't ever been overweight can understand it isn't just going on a diet and magic happens.

Yeah we only see Jack in the past so it doesn't matter. It's backstory. And there is plenty of it if they want to keep on with it. I do love that actor, but we hardly saw the Mom in the present so it doesn't really matter.

I love this show.

I think the episode was "Career Day," and then they show the upcoming schedule, with the next episode airing on Nov 22nd. At one point they had an episode for Nov 15th, but it's been removed from the schedule. Hmmm

I feel very bad for the heavy set actress. She got the role because of her weight but obviously she would prefer to be much lighter. Difficult to be portraying a woman who has hope to become thin. She apparently cannot slim down in real life.

I hear you. I thought I had seen it on Wednesday at some point, and I thought cool, cuz that means Notorious is on Thursdays...easy for me to remember.
But, now it's showing up on Tuesday.

Has it always been on Tuesday?

I was wondering what happened between Kevin and that girl he was auditioning with. Did they have a romantic moment?
I changed the channel during a commercial and forgot to go back...lol

It popped up again on Vudu. I didn't care for this episode. The acting/storyline just seemed "forced." The deal between Kevin and Randall was pretty obvious, so there was nothing really revealed, and if they don't get along, why did Kevin choose to come live with them for so long?

The washing machine had no relevance to the episode at all. The relationship between William and Randall's wife didn't feel natural. The episode just felt, "off." Hopefully, it'll be better next week.

I don't think Kevin KNOWS all this resentment from Randall. He's kind of self-centered.

I recently read that her contract requires her to gradually lose weight since that is what her TV character is trying to do. Also read that she was happy it was in her contract because it gave her added incentive to not give up on losing weight.
