Family - Diversions (Part 1)

[@elizabethmiller1804]

This episode is one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen.

[@SnazzyDetritus]

When he called and told Nancy he couldn't help her study and then hung up and walked over to his little train set, and plopped his ass down and started playing with his trains, I busted out laughing. Holy fajitas, Nancy magnetically attracts sociopathic loser after loser! Those Lawrence kids were waaay too sheltered and pampered by their parents to be able to function in reality. Also, that Ben guy's face reminds me of a serial killer's.

[@ladylibertywdc8324]

An arrested development/ perverse a-hole.

Oh my God…how dare this creep to show up out of the blue and sabotage Nancy’s life….but on the other hand, if passing the bar exam was so important to her, why on earth would she give this creep permission to do what he did? She just doesn’t make any sense at all!

[@alondralabute2310]

Weak. Doesn't seem to know how to say no. Even if I was attracted to him, I'd remember how long it had taken me to get through law school and not let anything divert me. Tell him since he claims to remember how it was studying for the bar exam, don't bother me for any reason until I'm finished with this. Don't call me, I'll call you. He was so annoying bothering her over every little thing. Can't he go to the store and buy a can opener for heaven's sake?

[@vcrcooking]

It's funny to see Nancy try to cook because she borrowed everything right down to the butter on the table from Kate when she lived in the guest house.

Actually, the earthquake in the Bay Area in 1989 was pretty scary. It happened during a Baseball game so you can find old footage of the quake and aftermath here on KZbin. I was just a kid when it happened but I vividly remember the news showing a highway collapsing with cars over and under it.

He wants everything Nancy has, including her time, reassurance and sex...He's supposedly an attorney- why couldn't he stop by Williams-Sonoma and a hardware store for some kitchen tools and appliances? Now his wife comes over and needs to borrow a piece of paper from Nancy...and then SHE opens up to Nancy and becomes quite condescending, defensive and and then tries to be her BFF giving her the lowdown about the creep. Nancy is way to busy and involved for someone who is about to take the BAR exam tomorrow...This episode is so off the chain, but entertaining because its so ridiculous

This show is so funny, in an archaic way. Both Doug and Kate's characters act like being fit or exercising once in awhile is a foreign concept.
