That Raiders of the Lost Ark gag is great.

This is a wonderful piece on the show overall (and a bunch of quotes from OLTL's own Melissa Fumero):

 

 

One week away from the S3 premiere of one of TV's best comedies, @OneDayAtATime on @netflix. But why wait? @writerchica is all over the new season, starting with an in-depth look at one of this season's big guest stars: @GloriaEstefan. Up now at @vulturehttps://t.co/mBeWiRu16I

NEWS: Met with @Netflix about @OneDayAtATime S4

They made clear that they love the show, love how it serves underrepresented audiences, love its heart & humor, but...we need more viewers. They'll decide soon.

I wish I felt more confident

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?

 

I am burning through Season 2 and 3 for the next week.

"Hello Penelope" was really great. Justina was robbed.

Flashback to 1975 and the Original unsold pilot that eventually became ODAT

 

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.

Thanks for sharing, Carl.

“Here I am in Hollywood, and I’m suffering [because of] a guy who doesn’t want to go home because he doesn’t like his wife and kids, and he wants to hold me hostage here while he’s telling dick jokes,” she said.

This makes me so angry, oh my God. And you know these guys probably bask in the glow of overwrought reverence.
