Really enjoyed the read. Love the jokes between the lines and the sharp analysis of the show! Thanks :)

I enjoyed this. I'm still watching the show, so appreciate that there were no spoilers.

It wasn't a cliffhanger, but I found the pain and discomfort displayed in the pregnancy a bit of a false inflation. Did we really need this little issue to raise our level of involvement, then have it resolved with a pressure point? As a mother, I followed the false track of concern. Was the pregnancy at risk because of her day-to-day stress involved in uncovering this story? No. Poof! Gone. Did the resolution bond characters? Again, no. I felt manipulated.

Perhaps it will become an issue again in the next installation. We shall see tonight...

1. & 11. About those ketchup sandwiches… Add some bacon and you’ve got The Great British Bacon Butty.

4. “I still eat my Fritos an entire bag at a time...” I see why you don’t have a 5-yr plan.

6. ‘Watch for my memoir, now titled “A SIMPERING ASSHOLE IN THE PRESENCE OF MONEY.”’ I asked Miss Snark one time if the word dickhead in the title would be considered objectionable. She replied, “Oh man, that’s exactly right.” She suggested Richard Cranium instead.

13. “daydreams about being a grifter” Like David Hampton?

“Inventing Anna” … another show I’ve never watched. The more television offerings we have the more I stick to reruns. “Castle.” “Law & Order” (the original). “NCIS.” “Last Man Standing” (the early years). I’d normally rely upon TV Guide to plan my viewing, but it leaves out a LOT of channels. However thanks to you, I can read about all those other shows. I enjoy your reviews. That’s good enough for me.
