was it obvious to anyone else that the bartender is the mom


Of marcus's crush. Or was it just me.

reply

No... it was fairly obvious when she mentioned "I have a 12yr old", then that was kind of the give away.

What REALLY sealed the deal is when Will hooked up with her in the end with the big kiss. You know what goes around, comes around... and once Will brings her home, Marcus will somehow bring Shea to Will's house or they'll see each other and the madness will begin.

Missed that completely but I think you are correct. Although the first time Shea appeared she made it seem like she was neglected by her family, and the bartender looked like a competent and caring parent, so it's not 100%.

reply

I think that is just because her mom works two jobs and is never home. You can either work all the time and support your self financially but not emotionally and be seen as a bad parent or you can not work enough to support your family finacially but support them emotionally and be seen as a bad parent for not buying your kids everything they want when they want it.

I couldn't detect a connection. But I hope you are all correct.
I'd like to see a lot more of Christine, just because I like to see beautiful women.

The TV Guide said "finale" but there is this:

First things first, my TV says it’s the season finale, but I really hope it’s not. According to a writer for the show, there are six more episode left that have been shot. We need to make sure they get on air, so fans of the show, make NBC know that we want the rest of the season (at the very least) because this show is funny, smart and adorable. End rant.

Not the finale. The show is being taken off the schedule. Hopefully the remaining 6 episodes will be on soon.

It would be interesting, but Shea is 13 not 12. She was 13 when introduced.

reply

I must have had a buzz because I didn't see any hints other than her daughter's age.

reply

Damn I was wrong. Bartender has a 12 year old boy not girl. Unless Shay has a secret.
