    This episode was alright. I'm really loving the mood music that sets up a conflicting tone with what's happening on screen. Your neighbour taking care of you should be excellent, or at least pleasant, but all of the angry sinister music just made it that much more funny.

    I'm a little concerned that the world of the show may be a bit TOO heightened. I'm used to silliness in my more abstract comedies, but the tone hasn't really settled in yet... like in the pilot, where everything was fine, and then BOOM, a random bimbo falls in the pool, only to be kept aloft by her fake breasts WHILE continuing to text. Those little moments outside of reality have their place (like tonight's George thinking Shiela was going to kill him), but they often just take me a bit too far out of the show.

    I don't have a problem with the show's heightened reality except when it comes to Dahlia.  I think that solidifying her identity as the quintessential vapid teen suburbanite has made Dahlia a caricature as opposed to an actual three dimensional character.

    In this particular episode my big problem was the fact that Dallas, a neighbor whom the Altman's have known for maybe two months, is buying Tessa diamond earrings.  That is a completely inappropriate gift.  Also, how should Dahlia, if she were a normal teen character, feel about her mother spending so much time with and attention to someone else's teen daughter?

    Yeah that ending was all kinds of creepy. Mostly because it seemed to validate some awkward George/Tessa shipping (yeah, that's a thing). Regardless, the diamonds were definitely weird.

    As for Dahlia, she definitely needs work. She IS a caricature, but what are they going to do with her down the line? They can't humanize her TOO much. Dallas was very successfully humanized (minus the diamonds), but Dhalia is amusing BECAUSE she's so shallow and vapid. She's also part of the heightendness I mentioned.

    I'm aware of the George / Tessa weirdness thanks to Jane Levy's David Letterman interview.  Bask in all the awkwardness, won't you?

    Well. That was fun XD. 

    "All this proves is that the show entertains on many levels." No David, I think it just proves that you didn't do your homework before interviewing your latest guest.

    *facepalm*
