I was watching tonight, 3-13-17. Am I crazy or outside of Caroline and Earl, have they all put on a lot of weight? Probably an uncalled for question on my part and I know it's something Kat has battled throughout but I'm watching tonight and I see not just Kat, but when Sophie and Oleg came into the first scene I was like "what the hell?" They've both packed on weight. I think even Han has, he's a tad smaller dude so it's not as easy to spot, but it looks like they're all eating OK (six seasons now will allow for that)

If I have a problem with the show it's probably just the real life things that would never allow things on this show to happen. Example: no one in the diner wears a hair net. An absolute must around food. You ever see Oleg's shirts when he's back in the kitchen cooking? Geez, there's no armpit cover and his hair sticks out.

The earlier episodes allowed Max and Caroline to sell home made cupcakes IN THE DINER after being brought from their home, made in their kitchen where there was often a HORSE present. Yeah, I see no problems for them via the board of health on this matter. Yeah Han, just let the girls who don't wear hair nets and are too poor to buy TOILET PAPER continue to do this. Let's see which customers actually DIE in your restaurant.

I know TV shows aren't real life and that's mostly true for comedies so I have to reel it in a bit on expectations for shows, but damn that Williamsburg Diner would have been shut down years ago. And I won't even get started on the reused sex jokes and Han's height jokes.

The writers have put very little work into this show. Nothing ever changes except for the occasional story arc that just kind of fizzles out. If I recall correctly in or around season 1 TBS offered $1.7 million per episode for reruns. I'm sure that helps account for the longevity of the show at least in part and possibly accounts for the often lazy writing.

Someone told me to watch it saying it was the modern day Laverne & Shirley. I didn't get it.
