Well if no one else is going to mention it I might as well say it: Before he was famous Tim Allen was arrested for being a rather prolific cocaine smuggler and squealed on his compatriots to dodge a life sentence. He's probably the last person to have any right to complain about how great America was before we all became pussies.

Occupation posted:Last Man Standing I'm imagining the higher ups saying "Alright it's the Christmas episode, let's just crank this out and go home" and one of the writers is fresh out of college as an English major with dreams of their own top tier show on FX or HBO someday who hates having to write this poo poo for food money and a resume credit so they snuck in something subversive when no one was looking.

It really is hosed up how many conservatives view their children and grandchildren as political pawns. This also hit home for me as I also picked my last name because of a complicated family life growing up, so, sympathy

E PLURIBUS ANUS posted:Last Man Standing If this was any other show, a deliberate parallel would be drawn where Mike realizes his "Who cares it was centuries ago" defense for maintaining his cowboys and injuns display can also be applied to Ryan wanting to be a better father than he was two years ago. He'd have an epiphany, some slow licensed music would play in the background and we'd all learn something. Instead we get the opposite because Mike is right about everything.

Dolash posted:Have you tried looking at the show's writers and seeing if you can find any pattern between who writes the scripts and which episodes are better or worse? You might be able to trace something that way, if episodes like that are confusing you. Looking at IMDb the writing staff seems to be mostly new and inexperienced. If I had to guess, when the producers tell them to write an episode that supports their messed up conservative politics the writers phone it in, but when the instructions are vague enough (Like the Christmas episode) they have a little fun/put something they can use on their resumes.

I said it after the Christmas episode review, I'll repeat it here: I theorize that the higher-ups told the writers to crank out a Thanksgiving episode, and without having any orders based on topical politics or Tim Allen's half-mad ramblings about masculinity, they were able to put their talents to work and make something they could be proud of

E PLURIBUS ANUS posted:Vanessa: "Why don't you just stop reposting your father's vlogs?" Mike: "Thank god you weren't at Lexington and Concord." If you read the Freep thread on D&D* this is actually a depressingly common theme among hardcore conservatives, loving EVERYTHING they do is equal to the first shots of the second American Revolution/Civil War *Don't. For your own sanity

This episode is a little weird to me in that it's like they want to say that Mike's views on psychology are wrong but they don't want him to actually be wrong about things.
