Danny Thomas guest stars as Dr. Brewster. Thomas passed away four days after this episode aired on February 6, 1991.
Seriously, who buys their teenager a Buick?
We're 52 episodes deep and Jared doesn't know what a 'honeypot' is?
Ted Baxter - "It's alright, I'm a doctor."
Oh, I get it. Dre Johnson is an unfunny black Archie Bunker.
"NOOOOOO PROBLEM" (laugh track) - every Theo scene.
How did Janet not know Jason didn't leave the Good Place?
Didn't think I was going to wake up today and hear a grown woman bleat like a sheep, but here we are.
Are we really supposed to believe a psychologist still talks about Sigmund Freud?
The President of the United States of America - "And to think I was going to let you jack me off."
A female U.S. president...? Those darn Russians...? Sheesh, is Hillary Clinton working under a nom de plume?
Obviously "love" is not always romantic love, so I understand that this may NOT have been their intention, but this episode was weird from the get-go.
Maybe I'm being conspiratorial, but this episode creeped me out. First off, this girl LOOKED younger than 18 (which felt intentional to make us feel like we were viewing a little girl who wanted her daddy) and the story was told from her perspective that she wanted to be in a relationship (whatever that meant to her) with this older man. In other words, it felt TO ME like the intent was to "normalize" an underage relationship. I don't care what her "needs" were, the man should have seen that it was not appropriate for them to "snuggle in bed" together as if that was something people do. Not to mention the lying in bed and snuggling with your "father" is quite strange. There were just too many weird underage/incest vibes happening in this episode for me to like it. It just felt like an episode that attempted to normalize behavior that shouldn't be normalized.
Relationships can be complicated at times for anyone, and the show has done a pretty decent job (especially in the first two eps) explaining this.... but THIS - this was a perspective of a relationship that nobody really needs to see as "relatable" enough to put on a TV show. Sorry.
This is the same old lady who gets mugged fifteen years later on Seinfeld over a MARBLE RYE! It's the old bag!
I understand that there's more to the bureaucrats reasoning for pulling Darius Tanz's funding, but to think that the U.S. government is concerned about "wasting" a billion dollars for SAVING THE PLANET is pretty laughable even by Austin Powers standards.
Anyone else think Data is a little too human in some of these first season episodes?
I mean, I do like that Harry Nilsson song.
I never wanted to smoke a cigarette until I watched this show.
Pretty flimsy plan from Mysterio, I must say.
Took them six episodes to get to the "Spider-Fools" cutdown.
It doesn't even matter that there's only been two episodes to air. When will people get that Rod Serling was a genius and the Twilight Zone was a masterpiece that can't be duplicated? If you can't make a great idea better (and when it comes to the Twilight Zone, no one has or can), then why do it at all? Why bother? It's okay to accept that some things are just fine the way they are.
This is basically Donald Glover asking the question, "What weird shit would happen if you bought a piano from Michael Jackson?"
Kinda racist against white people, but whatever. Can you imagine an episode of It's Always Sunny with an all-white cast showing how weird black people can be? No, you can't.
I had to look up the origin of "red handed" because they really had me going there. You can feel at peace knowing it has nothing to do with Native Americans.
Check out Creed Bratton on the piano.
WROT. Do you get it?
Again, another modern, unfunny comedian shows up, interrupts the show, and just stopped by to push their brand of identity politics. Is anybody under the age of 40 actually funny?
This was going great until the last minute or so when Amy Schumer showed up, sucked the funny out of the room, and made it all about herself.
Is there anything that takes the sting out of an antagonist more than hypocrisy?
Hmm, California Charlie lives at the old Bates house. EERIE. Looks like David Letterman when he grew the beard out in this one.
Firefly looking like Rickety Cricket over here.
