It pisses me off that series such as this one has to beg for more viewers while crap like "Last Man Standing" draws millions each week with ease.  Seriously, America, what the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, dear God, the "Three to Get Ready" opening sequence!  And that theme song!  It's straight out of the Sweeney Sisters' repertoire (and I don't mean that in a good way).

 

Interestingly, they retained Ann's original nursing career for the reboot.

 

Schneider's entrance was just as creepy with Julie and her friend alone in the apartment than it was in the second pilot with Ann alone in the living room.  No ifs, ands or buts about it.

 

Awkward introduction aside (she comes in and starts cleaning like it's her place?), Marcia Rodd's Gail was a good supporting character who would've fit in nicely as the Rhoda to Bonnie Franklin's Ann.  Too bad BF's ego wouldn't allow the spotlight to shine on anyone but her.

 

And since when was Annie Romano married to Serpico?

For an episode with a host of (good) celebrity guest stars, the Season 3 premiere may be one of the show's funniest of all time. I am so proud of Melissa Fumero, and Stephanie Beatriz is always good.

 

Despite having one of the less showy parts the kid playing Alex has become an MVP, especially with Rita Moreno. "Does anybody want to see pictures of me at homecoming? With the Cuban girl I will probably marry!" And the aunt across the room saying 'she looks Puerto Rican!' Too much.

 

"Somebody give Tia Divorced a color wheel!"

I just watched it yesterday evening and agree with you. Gloria and Melissa were great, and Liz Torres was an awesome surprise. It’s a very smart choice to start developing the extended family. Hopefully we see more guest appearances from them.

 

The cousin telling Elena that her entire identity doesn’t have to revolve around being gay was one of those little things that only this show can do. I don’t keep up with awards shows, but they better be winning all the GLAADs.

      Call me crazy but I still think there’s hope for them. Their scenes today proved it to me. I loved how they were there for each other and talked about what’s going on with their fathers. And how Belle helped Shawn get a lead on Kevin’s roommate. Their relationship, at the moment, seems so natural. In a way, it reminds me of how Sami/Rafe were after they got divorced. And while I do like Shawn/Jada and EJ/Belle as couples, I’m looking forward to going along for the ride and (hopefully) seeing Shawn and Belle find their way back to each other. And I still think there’s hope for Gabi and JJ too. I don’t see them as an endgame couple but I do enjoy them together. Javi was a pain in the ass though and kinda messed up their scenes. And also messed up Gabi’s reunion with Arianna. Speaking of Arianna, I’m glad that she’s back in Salem. And she did have a point about Gabi and Javi. But yeah, Javi’s still a pain in the ass lol his scenes with Leo weren’t bad though, surprisingly. Mostly because they were centered around him and not Leo. That definitely wouldn’t have happened a few months ago It’s too soon to make any judgments about the actress playing Arianna but I’m looking forward to seeing her storyline. And to seeing the interactions that she has with other characters on the canvas. Hopefully, she won’t be friendly with the guy who tortured and sexually assaulted her fathers.  I also enjoyed Julie’s reunion with Doug III. Her being so stubborn and resistant today was classic Julie. I still kinda feel bad for Doug III though. 
    • I have a new storyline for the "diverse" 7th Heaven reboot! The WASP family has a foster child called Gilberta. She's an AA kid whose mother is addicted to crack marijuana! The devil's seed! Either way, she's been integrated into this WASP family and shock/horror, Marijuana Mommy comes back! What will happen? Well, I will tell you - first it seems like Marijuana Mommy has her [!@#$%^&*] together and she gets her kid back! The WASPs are sad. Then it turns out that Marijuana Mommy is still on the dope and selling tricks talking to strange men on the corner! Plus, foster child (Gilberta) talks about how much she loves the WASPs. The episode ends in tears with Gilberta back with the WASPs! Also, Marijuana Mommy goes away, acknowledging how much better parents the WASPs are. The end. Why haven't The Great American Family hired me yet? I can feel the audience will watch this and cry a lot of tears.
    • I’m thinking Taylor’s resurrection a few months later caused the show to change course and cut her return short. If true, I wonder what the original plan for this storyline would have been? Amnesiac Ridge getting Morgan pregnant again?

    • re the penthouse.  I can't recall exactly but I think that it was used  for several years. Leslie moved to the cottage. Was that when she married Rick or before? Anyway, maybe Tracey took up residence? Don't know whether she bought it from Lesley, or they just re-used the set pretending it was a different place.

    • Swift said:  "But, isn't funny that they're all back in Florida, but nobody mentions this is where Reva went nuts and drove off a bridge.  It seems like it might trigger some memories." Hilarious!!   'Tis a shame it didn't retrigger the same behavior as well.  In a gray Volvo.
