I just hope they don't make that lady in their apartment.

She didn't want a hotel room; doubt she's going to want the apartment room, either.

YES!  Glad it worked out - now Leslie is with Eva and Kat with her Dad. And they didn't have to rearrange the other opening at all.

There was no reason to re-arrange the other one. This was the most logical move.

And Mike seemed to enjoy those scenes.

I've really been enjoying seeing him/Smitty interact with other actors/characters

Boy, do I agree with this. These writers HAVE to know what they're doing when they add those "We're the Duprees" lines....at least I pray to God they do. If they don't, they're clueless.

This family is -- like most families -- deeply flawed and going through it. There's something tone deaf about the "We're the Duprees" pronouncements all over the place.

 

@ranger1rg @DemetriKaneI was sure I was swimming upstream alone on this. I get that they are all proud to be Duprees, but the writers are just overplaying it. Ted's an ass, but presumably, he's been a model husband for the last 25 (?) years...but he just isn't good enough (or can handle or whatever..) a Dupree woman? *cough*

I guess the next "shocker" is whatever Vernon and Anita's secret is. I hope it's something a little more original than him cheating on Anita.

Well, it's alphabetical, so they got lucky with the actor's name fitting into place like that. Otherwise, if they stayed alphabetical, they could have had to change both.

All depends, really. Whichever opening had Johnson would have had to change; it's not like he was in both openings.

No it's alphabetical between the two openings - the A-whatever is opening 1 and whatever-Z is opening 2. So in theory, if his last name started with an A, he'd be first in opening 1 and they would have had to remove Maurice (who was in opening 2), which requires edits to both. Unless I'm going crazy haha :)

You might be going crazy and overthinking, because that's not how it goes. 🤣 Right now, it's the Hamiltons versus the Richardsons in the openings, with Alex Alegria/Buglioli/Ben Gavin with the Richardsons (Opening B), while Jen Jacob is with the Hamiltons (Opening A).

Opening A:

  • Brandon Claybon
  • Timon Kyle Durrett
  • Marquita Goings
  • Jibre Hordges
  • Jen Jacob
  • Mike Manning
  • RhonniRose Mantilla
  • Arielle Prepetit

Opening B:

  • Alex Alegria
  • Lauren Buglioli
  • Sean Freeman
  • Ben Gavin
  • Trisha Mann-Grant
  • Ambyr Michelle
  • Colby Muhammad
  • Keith D. Robinson

By your reasoning, the opening should be (and would make zero sense):

Opening A:

  • Alex Alegria
  • Lauren Buglioli
  • Brandon Claybon
  • Timon Kyle Durrett
  • Sean Freeman
  • Ben Gavin
  • Marquita Goings
  • Jibre Hordges

Opening B:

  • Jen Jacob
  • Trisha Mann-Grant
  • Mike Manning
  • RhonniRose Mantilla
  • Ambry Michelle
  • Colby Muhammad
  • Keith D. Robinson
  • Arielle Prepetit

@P.J. No, you are not alone in this. I agree, the writers have overused "I'm a Dupree." I get it, but if they could pace themselves and use the term at more pivotal moments, I believe it would have more impact. Right now, they turn me off. A part of it is that they went the opposite way I felt they should have with the core four, Anita should be our favorite character, and I am sorry she is at the bottom of my list. Why do I care more for Nicole, the daughter who has everything, over Dani, the underdog? Like I said, it's an odd setup that I am getting used to. 

I look forward to the in-laws interacting more and bonding away from the Duprees. I already root for Bill and Bradley, I see myself warming up to New Ted soon.

I view the Duprees as being very insecure and paranoid about losing their status so they proclaim 'I'm a Dupree' just as much for themselves as their enemies.  I swear Nicole is the Marilyn Munster of the Duprees.

And the lack of in-law interactions on the show has always baffled me.  When my parents were alive and we would visit family... my mom had close ties with both of her sister in laws (i.e. she and two other women were all married to brothers) and my dad got along well with his brother in law (Both of them were married to sisters).   

So I'm glad that we're starting to get some in law interactions because those relationships are just as valuable as the ones amongst the actual family members.  Jacob/Smitty/Bill/Ted should all have some history/interactions with one another... though I admit I wish there was a hetero Dupree male because than we could have a daughter/sister in law that might not gel/get along with the other Dupree women and is closer to the Dupree men/male in laws.

LOL - I wonder why Smitty was so weird with Vanessa.

She acted like she wanted to f him. I’m like girl he gay and married to your best friends son. Sit your hot coochie down!

  • Member

Running in late and a bit out of order cuz yesterday was a mess but since I'm here...

 

So far I am liking that there are a lot of hotties and bubbles on display. lol.

 

A lot of plot is moving and/or being touched on. Right down to ANOTHER of Vanessa's many men. He was cute and bubbled, too. 

 

So far, I'm not feeling SilkPress vs NuTed.

Oh, lord. I was hoping that Doug would be in June's surgery for a while. Now I'm afraid that she's going to run right into Dani and Pamela.

I got the feeling she's always been slightly too flirty with him?  But this brings up a comment I've had whenever I see Vanessa with these weird men (or was this one we've seen before) who she has role play sex hijinks with...  They always just come off as plain bizarre.  This guy followed her in the middle of the day to a cafe?  The dialogue always seems like they want to push the boundaries too with what they can say but then just comes off as incredibly weird (something about what she did with her foot?)

And oh yes, let's go to an underground/backroom casino to try to raise money for our new upstart agency?

I hate to say it, and I didn't catch the writers for this episode, but I felt this was another episode like some past ones where the dialogue throughout sounded off and not natural--and too filled with references and metaphors that maybe looked nice on paper but not so much when people say them.

(Oh and random--why cast a day actor as a surgeon for a tiny scene and then reveal in the next hospital scene that he can't do it because of a family emergency?  Just... kinda weird.)
