It is not like they spent one episode messing up the NJ/PA/CA geography thing, it is constantly. Then it becomes sloppy writing.

Why is it so hard to understand than to some people these things matter and can distract from the show because they are trying to figure out and reconcile with what they thought they knew this new set of situations/story lines. Fact, Kevin and the tree coulnd't have happened in the time frame they gave unless the tree was in NJ. So, some people were trying to figure out where this tree would be. Same with the therapy session. Yeah, it does matter if it only took Randall 20 minutes to get to work or 2 hours because that could affect his mental health. It is like the writing have never commuted to work.

Does it ruin the show? Not fully, but i hate have to reconcile new information that does not fit at all with other information they have already given me or facts.

What ruins the show for me is coming here to discuss with other fans, only to have everything come to a screeching halt because some posters can't move past tiny, inconsequential "errors" that were made, probably because there simply isn't enough time in an hour to show all the commuting you guys seem to want to see. For the sake of brevity, they don't shoot the show that way, which I appreciate. I'm not interested in watching a character driving a car endlessly just for the sake of accuracy. I appreciate that they move the story along without wringing their hands over trivial matters. I wish some of the posters here would embrace the story, and let go of the obsession over distances, geography, weather, and time. Or, as several posters have suggested, *start a new thread.*

DCUM ruins the show for you? Hmm.

Nope. Not what I said at all. I said the posters on this thread who insist on debating trivial issues related to the show, ruin it for me. Please read more carefully.

I would say they're solidly middle class.

+2. Family of five with dad in middle management and mom staying home in a smaller city were middle class at this point in time. Doesn’t work now, though.

Sure it does. That describes me and many of our friends.

So...what's the plan with deja and her mom? Are Beth and Randall going to take them both in? Move them into their tenement?

Big decision. I would hope they would report it to the proper channels and hopefully get placed with her again.
If they place them in their tenement they would be enabling behavior by the mom which got them to this point repeatedly.

I think they want to report it but don't want to separate Deja from her mother. We don't have any clues that they lost their apartment or can't pay their bills because Shauna is in trouble again. Her employer may have laid off people and they were living paycheck-to-paycheck. They don't want Deja traumatized again if they can help it.
