I like the show but don't LOVE it. I record it and it piles up on my DVR which is a sign that I like other stuff better. I have liked the last few episodes, though. I agree that it's probably Christina who is pregnant and not Hattie.
Question, does anyone else find Julia totally awful? I don't know if it's the actress or the writing but I find her just such a thin character. She just always seems so stiff to me and so not believable...I think it may be the actress, I just find her off putting. |

| I like Julia...the scene from last week when she was trying to get Sydney to do a million things with her because she realizes that Syd will probably be her only child...it was heartbreaking. It was subtle, too. She never had to explain what she was thinking...it was so clear by her actions. |

Me, too. I get why people wouldn't like her, but I think she has softened quite a bit. |

Ooooh.. That would be a prickly turn of events. Especially since it looks like Jasmine is going to finally forgive crosby, based on the previews for next week. URgh. I love and hate that possibility. |

I love the show. Have a child on the spectrum and even though DC is younger than Max I sooooo related to the whole dinner conversation. My kiddo is obsessed with rancom number stats.
I love the portrayal of Max's mom and I relate to her anxiety and her seeming overwhelmed so often. I immediately thought the mom was the one preggers since Haddie would be obvious. On the otherhand, they don't want to glorify teen sex. The parents have come around and all seems great they can bonk away. A pregnancy would throw a wrench in things and remind teens out there all is complicated. Just a thought. I like Julia and I think she shows the whole pull and tug with being successful in ones career and trying to manage a family life. |

| I think the Writing is great. Many of the women are strong characters, and I would include Christina, I like their marriage, seems very real to me. Not all of the male characters are all that strong, Crosby, the dad is certainly with faults etc. I think Christina is pregnant although gym bag and soccer leads somewhat to the daughter. May be she gives the baby to Julia ? |

Max's OT. The girl Crosby slept with. |

Oh that's right! Yeah, but why would her preg test be in the trunk of Haddie's dad's car?
what a twist that would be!! just when Crosby and Jasmine might patch it up. gasp! |

| Is it in the trunk? Thought it was trash? Why is he going through the trash? |

| Maybe Haddie had told Amber she would take care of that for her. |

Of course Christina is the pregnant one--and of course Nate Fisher is going to think it's Haddie and be so freaked out. And Julia is going to be so jealous blah blah. Soooo cliche. Almost as cliche as Amber getting into a terrible car accident (but not dying, of course) mere days after she decided to start experimenting with drugs and alcohol with Cappie from Greek.
And yet, I do like this show. It's like a slightly-more-realistic but slightly-more-boring version of Brothers and Sisters, which I happen to think is one of the most underrated shows on TV. Jeez can you tell I watch too much TV? |
