Yeah, the problem I had with the show is they never really convinced me that Ginni would be with him. I get that he has money, and maybe he was more romantic than guys her age. But all of her friends were not coupled up and she tried to come across it first that she was really into fluidity blah blah blah. And he was super messy with a teen daughter and an ex-wife? I just don’t buy it.

Like why would she get with this older dude and want to hang out his friends? It just wasn’t a convincing relationship to me. And it made no sense that after only a few months, she would’ve done the parents weekend. I also didn’t get that she was a dental hygienist! They should’ve made her the Pilates, instructor or something. It just didn’t track with her friends that she would be a dental hygienist. That’s kind of a working class job and she clearly comes for money as do her friends.

But I will say I did really love the show. It kept me hooked for sure.[/quote]

This is a good analysis and brings up a lot of good questions. All that said, Ginni was a complete good sport and very blameless in all of it. It's really hard to find fault with her or her relationship (even if it wasn't fabricated in an all that convincing manner!). They certainly shed her in a very good light. But it does make the most sense that Nick starts to go on her vacations and separate from his group a bit. [/quote]

I thought their relationship was realistic.  Steve Carrell is really hot for an older guy, and he had a lot of money and was super into her.  She made the point that the young guys she dated were not caring at all -- I can see a woman in her early thirties just being really exhausted by the perpetual adolescence of the guys her age.  Picking a guy that's more like 40 is more common (I know sooooo many 40 year old guys who married 30 year old women!), but Steve C at 55 looks more like 45.  Did you see him with his shirt off?  He's one of those guys that looks better at 55 than he did at 35.  [/quote]

I see why she was interested in him butI just disagree that she would be that serious about him. Agree, he looks good and fit and he’s rich, but putting up with that weekend with her daughter and the ex-wife? They also alluded that Nick was a serial cheater. She seems like a really good person and I think she would’ve just picked up that he’s not a great guy. I think they kind of trying to have it both ways with Nick and that fell flat for me.

I also found it interesting that she was pregnant. At the end of the day, Nick was so happy because he was trying to get his carefree youth back with this carefree young woman. But nine months from now, she’s not going be a carefree young woman. She’s going be exhausted and obsessed with breast-feeding and nap schedules like all new moms.

And that’s the problem. You really can’t go back no matter how hard you try. Just like youth is fleeting, trying to recapture it by dating a younger woman is just as fleeting cause you’re just going to end up back where you started from only a lot more exhausted.

So I did really appreciate that part of the story. I do find it hard to believe that she was that naïve that she thought she was going to have some fairytale ending with Nick when she had the baby. I just think young women today are smarter than that.

But I liked the show. It was really funny and I really like the dynamic between Jack and Kate and I loved Danny.

My favorite scene was when Kate and Jack were in the car, realizing they had to go to therapy and freaking out about it. Thought that was really well done. [/quote]

I also found the pregnancy unrealistic / felt it didn't fit overall. I wouldn't be as excited about that part of Season 2 if there is one.

Agree with your last paragraph, that was hilarious and perfect.

To another PP, I think that's why Danny kept referencing their other group of friends. Otherwise sometimes they felt a bit forced here, like why that couple came to parents weekend (vs the regular trips that did look fun).[/quote]
