Author: codebreaker    Time: 9-22-2010 22:16     Subject: Better With You Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)



Maddie and Ben have been dating for nine years. They know each other inside and out, a relationship marked by contentment and affection, seeing their commitment to one another as a "valid life choice," something they proclaim often—and often loudly. Maddie's younger sister, Mia, has been dating Casey for seven weeks. With a shared c'est la vie attitude, Mia and Casey are smitten with each other, and thrilled to explore the oh-so-many things they don't know about each other yet. But when they announce they're getting married and having a baby, it's news that throws Maddie for a loop. Surprisingly, the girls' parents, Vicky and Joel, couldn't be more pleased. Married 35 years, they have recently adopted a carpe diem sort of philosophy, rather like Mia's, maybe because they're getting older and lost a good portion of their savings when the economy tanked. With three very different relationships tightly intertwined in one family, will it be free thinkers vs. over-thinkers, or will each couple begin to see things a little bit differently?

Great first episode but finding out why they were getting married was awful timing at the dinner.

That was bad timing but making fun of Maddie was funny and the start and end and the way they all communicate differently

The point of all that was to show how couple who been together longer are different people who only know each other 7 weeks.

Ben not included in the photo because he's not married and Casey was considering he's only been going out with Mia for 9 weeks but she's having his baby

I liked Ben's recollection of Mia's temper if someone does her crossword was funny but Casey getting naked to resolve the argument was great and what was Maddie thinking when she got naked in the restaurant to resolve her argument

Poor Mia been denied her romantic activities because Casey thinks it will harm their unborn baby and Ben trying to get off Vicky's e-mail list was funny

Mia and Maddie watching the mysterious videotape found among Casey's things was funny considering what they thought might be on it but Ben not knowing what Maddie wanted considering she apparently told him six times was crazy

It was strange Reba guest star in this show since the actress also had another show with one lead actress (Mia). Ben trying to firt with the waitress free food didn't go to plan. The wedding planner stealing Mia wedding was funny

Maddie being used to wrap her parents Christmas presents was funny and Mia trying to use the baby as an excuse not to spending the holiday together at their lake house would of been clever if they hadn't all meet at the airport
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-6-2011 00:54     Subject: 1x11 Better with Skinny Jeans

Mia accusing Ben of ripping her favorite pair of jeans instead of her pregnancy and Joel putting Vicky on the floor so he could have the couch was amusing

Mia and Maddie communicating in their own secret language was amusing and Nick Swisher buying the Shamrock bar was funny considering Ben accidentally dropped the blanket on him during a baseball game

Mia and Casey room after they got rid of all the stuff from their ex's was amusing
Author: bala    Time: 4-14-2011 02:33     Subject: Better Without a Job

Well the lie count was nice way start the episode but i think amusing if they kept the count going throughout the episodes. Maddie get fired was interesting a lot of people are losing their jobs in this economy but not realise she was beening interviewed by park bench lawyer was rather amusing anyone know you should research any company you interview for.

The racist kids book was amusing it's amazing how child understand and adult understand was different but nice of them to tell person who was buying the book the truth  instead selling it for $350.

The ending with quiz with parent deciding where get buried was funny if they dead why would noise bother them

No filming south of the equator was amusing and Maddie thinking she was going to be made a partner at her law firm but was actually fired was interesting, the racist kids book was also interesting because how things have changed over the generation's

I still can't believe the parent didn't realise it was racist until their daughter read it as an adult .Surely when they read they pick up on that fact

Political correctness has gone mad whether it's racist or sexist even silly things like a manhole cover is now wrong
Author: bala    Time: 4-14-2011 11:30     Subject: Reply 54#54 codebreaker's post

I just think people have just become way too sensitive that's the problem we live society where you can sue people over silly things.

Here are example

1) In the first place among the most ridiculous accusations to the court process is a man from Michigan. Richard Overton sued Budweiser. He was disappointed that, after drinking the famous beer was not surrounded by women, as seen in the ad. Man sought damages worth 10,000 dollars.

In the ad, two beautiful women appear in front of two truck drivers as a reward because they drink beer. The man repeated the scenario at home and, surprise, the girl’s haven’t emerged. Upset, he sued Budweiser.

2)Another strange case is that of a judge who sued a laundry because they have lost his pants. The man asked for damages worth 65 million dollars. The judge states that the loss of pants caused him "mental suffering, discomfort and inside imbalance”.

3)A Spanish businessman wanted to sue the 17 years boy family that he has killed in a car accident. He was upset that the boy crashed the car. The boy was travel at night on bicycle without reflective vest.

Mia should of done her homework when she came up with the story about how she and Casey met but finding out all their stories about how they met were lies was amusing

I loved how two men had share the bed in the basement while the girls were share the bed in comfort but hearing the parents were amusing.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-26-2011 00:31     Subject: 1x19 Better with Dancing

Casey realizing that Mia has two left feet at their first wedding dance class so pretending he was worse was a nice but amusing gesture and Ben running into the legendary Larry King and getting advice from him was great
Author: bala    Time: 4-26-2011 06:17     Subject: Reply 58#58 codebreaker's post

Yeah but two men dancing situation isn't funny anymore it been done on few other shows
