Joe Schmoe

Toward the end of last season she stopped touring, and in last night's episode she said she decided to get involved at Beverly Rose's school because she was done touring. So where has she been if she wasn't on tour?

She has to split her time with her other family who aren't too far away in Chicago.

And she's still not a part of the opening credits with everyone in the kitchen.

I enjoyed this week's episode as well. I liked that they addressed censorship in school. But in what universe would Louise have chosen "Dancing Queen" to perform for those kids? And the Principal freaking out because "Queen" is in the title. That was really stupid.

I expected Darlene to rip into her kid more for not defending her. He was really a dick for letting his new friends get away with insulting her.

Another pretty good episode this week. It only took them six seasons...

Please give Lecy Goransen her own show! She is like a completely different character when she actually has something to do in the story and isn't reduced to just being someone to bounce punch lines off. She looks amazing for her age too. And mercifully, we have not seen her kid for a while...

Nice to see Crystal again. I wonder if she is the one who passes away?

I forgot she was in this episode. honestly I hated her character so wasn't really thrilled to see her again. That whole storyline of her marrying Dad's father was just weird. Her character was always annoying as hell whenever she was in an episode. Bring back Sandra Bernhard and Morgan Fairchild instead please.

She was on the previous episode. The one where "Dancing Queen" was banned from her school.

I did not know about anyone passing away. I hope it's not Crystal, who I like a lot. It would suck to bring her back after all these years just to kill her off.

Yes, Crystal was high maintenance and annoying at times. But she was a fairly big part of the original series. And I've been saying this forever, I would love them to bring Sandra Bernhard back. She was so good on this show. Same with Chuck and Anne-Marie. I'd rather see some of the original characters than most of the new ones.

WTF is going on with this show? The new season finally premiered on February 7th because of the writers/actor strike, and we've already had 3 reruns!? The last original show was 2 week ago.

Yeah, I noticed ABC was doing that with a lot of their shows, the Wednesday comedies, Will Trent, The Good Doctor. I'm guessing they either started airing new episodes before having enough episodes buffered up to run through without repeats or they just want to make the number of episodes they are producing for the season to be able to stretch out through the normal end of the season in May.

Even Fox has been doing the same thing with Animal Control.

Maybe the networks are taking a break because of March Madness and the holiday weekend?

The strikes also might have thrown them off schedule, and they aired whatever episodes they had in the can as soon as they could while were making more.
