something I find interesting about this series is that instead of Gayle herself becoming flanderized over the course of the series it’s more that everyone else becomes progressively more insane, making her seems more normal

My mom and I watched this entire series together and loved every bit of it! We still reference it very often, when we're taking groceries into the house, when we have Chobani, and when mom comes home from work. There's a guy in her building that likes to talk to her that's named Bruce, and every day she fights back the urge to say "Oh hi Bruuuuce!" In Gayle's voice. We love it so much and it means a lot, and it's one of the funniest series I've ever seen
