I'm loving this series. You 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.840 know that we're like, this is great. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.559 We've made shows. 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.160 Before, so it's just so cool to see other shows 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.800 that we're on the same time or similar time to 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:52.320 Full House. 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:53.519 Yeah, I dig it. 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.720 So neither Jody and I have seen this pilot. 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.240 I've never never watched an episode of Family. 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.560 Matter same same this time. This show is a little 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.400 reminiscent of a certain sitcom that we are very familiar with. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.080 So let's get into it. We did this with Boy 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.759 Meets World a few weeks ago. We watched the pilot 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.560 and had a lot of feelings. Very cute, very cute, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.440 But yeah, boy was a great I had some mixed 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.119 feelings about that, but I liked it. So did you 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.800 come into this having high expectations for Family Matters? I 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:29.200 don't know. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:29.760 I think you know. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.360 I always try to kind of temper my expectations for 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.000 a pilot because you know, you're like I'm not. I'm 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.319 not going to judge it based on what I know 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.120 the show to become, you know what I mean, You're 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.960 like you kind of got to give pilots like the 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.200 the benefit of the doubt because you're like work, everybody's 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.960 trying to find the find your way took. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.080 I mean, how's a while to find its way, you know. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.760 I will say I think our pilot was one of 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.520 the best pilots that I've seen, hands down, ten out 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:00.840 of ten, ten out of ten. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.000 Especially for a sitcom. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:03.800 I know, I and I agree with you. I mean, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.200 I don't know, I fair I would agree with us, 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.000 but I agree with you. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.680 And I'm not saying that just because I like, you know, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.800 because it's Full House, But I really do think like 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:11.920 it was just it was a great It was a 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.480 great pilot. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.600 This one felt a little more. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:23.799 Not exponential, but uh explanatory exposition word, yes, exposition y expositioning. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.440 It was just an official which is an official word 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.280 in the Merriam Webster Dictionary, right next to six seven. 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:30.760 Yeah. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.200 Well, I went into this with high expectations because this 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:39.079 show premiered exactly a year after Full House premiered, right, was. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.280 A year or two years later. It was two years. Okay, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:43.040 this start. 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.400 Came about in eighty nine and we were. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.760 We were eighty seven. That's right. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.240 Okay, so it's two years. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.120 But I think I am looking at it through the 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.560 lens of oh, this is family matters, the massive hit 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.880 that went on for nine seasons. So I had high expectations, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.720 but maybe I should have tempered them a little bit, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.559 because as like you said, you know, gives gifts pilots 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.519 some grace to kind of find their footing and introduce 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:06.320 the characters. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:07.040 Right. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.360 So yeah, I thought it was a solid pilot, but 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.600 it did feel like it felt very much like a sitcom. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.320 And I understand that I. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.320 Know exactly what you mean. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.440 It's yes, yes, when I watched The House, it doesn't 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.200 feel like a sitcom to me, and maybe it's because 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.600 we're watching like home movies. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.200 But when I watch sometimes it does. But I think 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.360 there was well, we'll get into it, but there was 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.400 definitely moments where I was like, you're at a twelve, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.920 just turn it. It felt very it felt very cheesy sitcoming. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.720 I very much noticed, like the last laughter. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.280 I will say that I think as ridiculous as our 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:48.360 show is, the we played the characters as grounded as 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.279 they could. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.560 Be, you know what I mean. 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.640 That didn't feel like. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.000 Like a caricature. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.360 It was like, this was just Danny Tanner who likes 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.880 everything clean and you know, is actually cleaning the leaves 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.240 in the backyard. Didn't feel like I don't know, maybe 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.240 that's maybe it's just us, but it did feel I 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.920 get what you're saying. Let's let's let's get we'll get 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.520 into it before we get into it. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.800 Well, we'll get into it. Yeah, okay. So in many ways, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:18.039 full house and family matters are the same. Uh, And 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.839 so what are some more obvious similarities that you noticed 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.240 as you were watching the pilot. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.280 Well, you've got a disruption in the family. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.440 Yes, yes, someone's moving in. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.560 Someone's moving in, and right too that that upsets the balance. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.880 And also you have the. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:43.000 Sister there with the baby because her husband died. Yeah, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.680 got a dead spouse. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:48.920 Yeah, yeah, that's right. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.440 Well, because you got to kill them off, I guess 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.000 in the eighties you can't just have them be like, oh, 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.480 they left me like it doesn't you know, I mean 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:54.440 you're like, no, that's just what. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.840 We do, right, right, So they're either dead. 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.159 Or don't speak of divorce and then no, no, no, no, no, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:00.800 we're killing them off. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.040 But that sort of felt similar. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.240 And the music, the music, you know, they had the 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.240 episode with a show or with a song, and I 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.480 was like, wait, we did that well. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.159 And it's it's a multi generational family all living under 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.040 one roof. It's a lot of people, and they don't 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.480 the whole thing takes place in the house, right, there's 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.720 no other scenes and other sets. It's all. I mean, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.279 there's different sets, but it's all in the Winslow house. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.920 I believe it's Yeah, living room, kitchen, and bedroom, so 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.679 was full house? 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:28.120 Have any other sets? 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.919 We have some swing sets, I mean, I guess in 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.640 the pilot. We did it not in the pilot and 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.240 the pilot, yeah, it's a pilot. They won't give you 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:33.800 swing sets. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.240 They're like, you're getting the bare minimum for what you 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.080 can do and we'll see how it goes. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:43.880 Right, It's true, very true. So did you enjoy watching 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.560 a show that was reminiscent of our own show? Did 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.200 it feel comforting? Did it feel like a copycat? 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.320 No? But I it was like I didn't I didn't 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:01.000 want to keep what's the word like comparing pairing it? Yeah, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.320 I was trying to really not, even though I was like, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.000 oh that feels like oh that, I was like, let 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.039 it stand on its own merits and let like these 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.360 relationships develop, you know, very true. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.480 Yeah it's it's its own show and its own right, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.520 and yeah it isn't. People can make unfair comparisons to 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.679 Full House, but I think it stands. It totally stands 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.960 on its own. I found myself fascinated by the mother 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.559 characters because there's no mother character at first in Full House. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.039 So I'm very drawn to like Harriet in this or 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.120 like Amy in Boy Meets World. I'm like, oh, look 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:34.680 very wonderful. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:35.960 Yea's great. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.200 They're nurturing like Amy's so nurturing, and then Harriet is 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.280 like such a strong there's a very yeah, yeah I 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:43.680 love that. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:49.039 It was. Yeah, it was like I liked to how like, yes, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.719 the show's felt similar, but like to I think the 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.520 audiences and the perspectives of the families that they were representing, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.440 like they felt authentic, you know what I mean? 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.000 Yeah they did. So he did love it. So on 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.720 a scale of one to ten, how would you rate 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.680 the pilot of Family Matters. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.440 I'm going like a six, You're going six or seven. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:15.320 Yeah, I kind of feel the same way, like I 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:16.760 feel like maybe I'll get it. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.239 I don't want to be me. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.000 I don't either, but I also am trying to just 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.960 be honest and I just don't. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.160 It was. There was some things, but. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.760 We'll get there were there were some things, but I 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.280 thought it was solid. It was a great It was 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.280 a great pilot, but I wouldn't rank it up with 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.960 like the top three the best pilots out there. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:36.960 So that's okay. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.480 So let's talk about some fun facts about this episode. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.800 It was directed by joel's Wick, So in some of 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:44.960 these camera angles, I was. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.800 Like, Jeel, Okay, camera angle, Joel. I watched this entire 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.800 episode and I was like, was Jewel drunk? 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.280 What is happening? 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.360 There's a very camera There was. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.680 A weird there was a lot of weird angles, a 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.400 lot of people in each other's lights, yeah, a lot 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:06.400 of upstaging of themselves, just all kinds of things where 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.080 I was like it it felt like I was like 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.720 somebody needed to fix this. Well thought, It's not like 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.960 this was Joel's first rodeo, like a gazillion directed gazillion things. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.600 And also like was it all new. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.120 Camera people like you know what I mean. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.160 There was one where it was like you literally see 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.280 the camera like sort of shuttling left, you know, it's 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.280 like bumping over the floor. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.080 And I'm like, who were not gotten? 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:35.600 Not in a pick up? Yeah? So true. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.319 I was just like, I don't know, Joel, I don't 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:38.920 know what you were thinking when you were directing this. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.040 But okay, Like we mentioned, the first episode of Family 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.800 Matters aired on September twenty second, nineteen eighty nine, which 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.400 is the same. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.120 Date almost two years later, same date, two years later. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.000 Amazing. And this show was actually a spin off of 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.559 Perfect Strangers. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:57.319 Oh right. The character of. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.120 Harriet was the elevator operator at the show Cogo newspaper 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.800 where Balky and Larry worked. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.840 So that's when we got to watch too. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.960 I know, oh yeah, maybe Mark Baker and some Bronson Pinchet. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:12.720 Just brilliant comedy. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:17.880 Brilliant comedy. But I yeah, I I I knew that 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.319 I had forgotten it, and then I remembered, and then 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.920 I wished there was a tie, like there should Larry 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.600 and Balky should have been in this pilot, Like there 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.720 should have been some sort of ushering of Harriet out 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.760 of Perfect Strangers and into family matters. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.280 Right, they did, They did. They over explained everything everything 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.240 else right, they would have writ I would have at 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.240 least appreciated a mention of like, oh, at the at 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.440 my job or at the yeah something. 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.880 I don't know, what did you say? She was the 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:50.240 an elevator operator, like the person that puts the goes 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.920 goes up and down elevator operator? Is that the name? 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.439 Didn't I'm just confused because. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.360 Did not end in like nineteen thirty eight, you know what I. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.920 Mean, Like, how what its elevator operator? Don't we have buttons? 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.000 I know, I know, well back in the day. You know, 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200 I don't know when Perfect Strangers takes place, but I 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.600 guess they head in Chicago, so I guess it's like you. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.920 The assumption is it's an old building. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.200 So you need, yeah, an operator to work. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.040 It feels it feels it feels flimsy. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.679 It's either that or it feels like a high end 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.320 hotel where it's like no, no, no, like they have 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.360 bathroom attendance too. It's like, we don't want you to 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.079 have to touch your own towel. We're going to hand 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.960 it to you. The same thing with the elevator. Oh no, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.400 you're too important. I'm going to touch the buttons for you. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.240 I don't know, perhaps strange. I don't know. 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.400 I don't know, uh, valcan Larry. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.320 Rolling like that? Maybe I didn't know either. Yeah, no, 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:49.200 that's that's that's a thing that we learned. Okay, so 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.120 we've got main cast synopsis. I don't know if we 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.240 want to go through all of this. Okay, here's the synopsis. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.520 The Winslow home is full of love and family, and 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:58.920 Carl's mom is moving. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:04.400 In straight to the point, and then shenanigans in suit 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:05.439 in sue. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.080 Okay, so let's talk about some of the best moments 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.800 of the series. The first one is that Carl is 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.560 doing everything in his power to prevent his mom from 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.800 moving in. He pitches all kinds of alternative ideas to 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.600 his wife, Harriet, but she knows it's pointless because mom 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.600 is moving in anyways. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.200 Right, And I gotta say, I like, Harriet, I bought 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:29.920 in this scene. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:31.920 Yeah. Oh, Harriet's great. I did. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:32.680 Harry was great. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:33.040 Carl. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.439 I was like, you're doing too much, Carl. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.920 Carl, Well, okay, this is. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.160 I was like, why are you making that face? 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.560 Carl? What is that face. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.440 Are you smiling? Reginald grimacing? 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.480 Reginald has a great sitcom face, like he is giving 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.920 so much face. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.400 But I wasn't sure why he was giving that face 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.679 at that I was like, are. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.080 You you gmc? Are you smiling? What's happening? But it 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:55.840 was it was a lot. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:56.760 It was a lot. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.520 But then you have but I guess i'd be making 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.160 that face of my mom was moving into. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:06.800 Oh, I was just kidding, Janie, Yeah, I I For 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.040 half of this episode, I was just trying to place 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.160 who belonged to who, Like, who are these people in 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.520 relation to each other? So I'm like, we're. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.360 Quite specific with their description. They were quite specific. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.320 Yeah, well no, but I'm like, why is okay if 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.160 if Carl. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.560 I'm trying to get these names right because everybody dragged 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:29.480 me for calling Ben Savage Ben Savage or Corey Ben Savage. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.679 I don't know their character names people, Okay, I only know. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.800 Them as like people Kelly, Joe, Marie, Reginald. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.920 Whatever I will learn. I'm trying to learn their character names, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.640 so give me some grace here. So I was thinking, 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.200 Harriet's the one that said, okay, Mom, okay, Mom, you 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.040 can come move in. But it's not her mother, it's 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.960 Carl's mother, right, So why doesn't Carl just say, hey, mom, 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.319 this isn't gonna work. What you can't move in? 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.960 Because that's because that's because Mama Winslow is not going 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.000 to let that happens. It's not a little Winslow's way 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.280 or look by way. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.240 It is, yes, all right. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.800 But then I say, Harriet's fine with it though. Harriet's 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.240 just like this is just this is happening. So let's 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.680 because there's a there's a I think, an aspect of respect, okay, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.959 of elders, of your mom, of your you know what 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.000 I mean. That I think very true. You know, I think. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.199 Culturally it's a little bit different. There's like, you know 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:22.920 what I mean, like you. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.320 Don't argue with mama, and that seems kind of like 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.120 what Carl is used to is like you just Mom's 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:30.880 running the house. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.960 And same with Harriet. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.160 Harriet's running the house with the women in this family 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.920 are the ones that are in charge. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.400 She's definitely wearing the pants in this family. She is 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.800 such a strong female role model. I love her strong 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:44.960 shoulder pads, like. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.160 Got it, love it, you loved it. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.760 I do think these two play well off each other, 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.480 Harriet and Carl, because she is so stable and he 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.800 is just a little about all of this happening. So 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.240 I think they do play very well off of each other. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:58.800 I don't know. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.680 Was he in Perfect Strangers too? 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:01.760 Are we introd? 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:02.560 Cal? 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:03.160 I thought he was. 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.280 Carl was the security guard. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.440 Ah, that's right, he's the cop. These two looked like 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.280 they had been married for decades, So I bought into this, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:24.760 this marriage for sure. So then Carl and Harriet's oldest son, Eddie, 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.920 is trying to butter up his parents so he can 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.600 go to a party at his friend's house tonight. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.360 I felt very typical teenager, very teenager. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:34.920 Hey, I'm going to wash your car. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.400 Why they knew? 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.640 Yeah, they knew immediately he was up to something. He 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.200 neglects to tell them at first that it's a party 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.480 that ends at two am, right, which I'm like, he's 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.400 fifteen years old. Why do you got to be out 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.600 till two am? Nothing good happens after two am? I 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.320 am that parent. So I ran my team when I 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.760 am team Carl and Harriet on this, and then I'm like, no, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.040 you can't stay out that late. Your curfew is at ten. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.680 True, I'm torn. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:01.280 You're torn. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:06.000 I'm torn because I'm like, it's the nineties or eighties. Yeah, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.280 this was the end. And I could let you know 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.840 if it was a neighborhood kid and they're like, you 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.320 know whatever, a couple of blocks away, Like, I don't know, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.240 it feels a little bit different, but maybe you know. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.320 Well, once I learned it was a rambo watching, it's 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.400 not like a rave. They're just watching TV. So yeah, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.120 maybe right. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.480 That was the thing is I was like, well, I've 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.680 kind of agreed with my mother Winslow on. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.240 This was like yeah, yeah, yeah, you can light up, 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.440 lighten up a little bit about it, but not till 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:31.920 two am. 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.600 Like let's just maybe I would have been like eleven 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.760 thirty midnight, Okay, that's plenty two am. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.320 Yeah, nobody needs to stay up that late. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:45.640 So then Carl's mom Estelle she finally arrives and oh yes, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:50.040 she tells her granddaughters all about her experiences abroad and 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.560 apparently she knew the Queen of England, like so random, 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.320 and that was so I was like, what, I don't 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.720 know if she was making a joke or if she 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.400 was being serious. No, that she's being serious. Apparently that 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.160 she was. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.160 She like knows she was. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.160 I think the implication is, I don't know, like a 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:14.640 assistant housekeeper, some worked for various wealthy people and traveled 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.880 with them. Okay, that seemed to be what it was, 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.720 and that was how she kind of met all those people. 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.160 But that was just rare. I either want more backstory 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.680 on her or none. But I feel like they just 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.360 teased this and then it went nowhere. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.640 It was again, it was. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.880 Throwing out that you knew the Queen of England sort 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.920 of as an offhand comment, and then moving on. I 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.360 was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait that let's. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.360 Get back to that, right, No, it felt. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.160 Like but it also felt like, let's not get back 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.440 to that, because that felt like it was shoehorned into 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.080 the conversation. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.920 Also, you know, for sure, oh absolutely, But this actress 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.880 is played by Rosetta. She's so perfect, great, just shines, 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.040 She shines this whole episode. She's a perfect mama Winslow. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.440 You know, she is just opinionated. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.280 She's yeah, subtle judgment like this's just amazing, not so 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.240 subtle judgment sometimes not so subtle. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.000 She loves her grand babies. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:08.600 I was just like, oh yeah, this is I think 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.040 she's a good addition to the house. I really she's great. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.800 Yeah again, like throws the dynamic of everything off, which 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.280 is exactly what you need in a sitcom. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.879 Absolutely, And can we talk for a minute about the 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.320 house because when the still arrives, right, what is this 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.400 front door situation? 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.480 Okay, so I was thinking that too, and then I went, 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:27.200 wait a minute. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.000 It looks like we're in Chicago building. We're in Chicago. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.240 It's going to be like a mud room, like a 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.160 front You'll have like a front because when you come 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.720 in and out, you don't want I mean, if you go, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.440 you don't want your front door like directly opening from 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.920 all the coal there. So you usually have like kind 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:49.199 of a little there's like a like a vestibule ye 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.600 take off, like a mud room where you basically, yeah, 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.359 you kind of come in, but a lot I noticed 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.280 that a lot on like houses in the East Coast 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.120 or where it snows or things like that, you kind 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.200 of have like a come in here, it's tiled whatever. 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.120 And then her second door is there. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.879 Well it didn't because I thought. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:05.080 The same thing. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.920 I was like, and then I remember the outside of 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.760 the house and I was like, oh, yeah, the implication 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.000 is that it's like a front little up the steps 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:13.320 there and then whatever. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.800
