The Schneider turns 50 ep was so damm weird. When his first love showed up she looked older than Grandmom romano lol 52? more like 72

And not only that she was a weirdo

Why did she sound all crazy?

And once again the episode ends without letting viewers see schnieder tell ann and barb about his time with the old lady

Didnt like Parting company at all. No Sam, No Mark, No Mark

Just Francine trying to get her man involved in the business

Yeah. Not a great episode. Not as bad as the last Francine ep. , "Never hire a relative " but almost as bad!

Yeah really. And that woman was such a sterotypical New Jersey woman.

So the bad news ! I'm gonna be missing Friday's episodes ! One being The Nearness of you , which sucks cause that is a good episide.I have to work. I was asked to fill in for a caregiver who is going to be off for Memorial day weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday . And looks like I won't be home in time on Friday to watch.

Of course the Friday eps. couldn't be the s*cky ones like today's.

I am so looking forward to memorial day weekend because the NBA playoffs have worn me out. 4 hours a sleep a night. I never get any sleep in May and its been that way since I been 12

4 day weekend........sat sun mon and tue.

I see Nearness of you is about spark between max and barb and the finale

yeah looks like 2 good ones

Both eps trash tonight. The tony romano ep was ass and send in the clowns was so bad I turned it off after 10 mins

Grown a$$$ men acting like kids. I never ever ever found a goofy grown man to be funny

I like Ave' Romano . I thought it was a pretty interesting topic for an episode and funny. And did you recognize Tony Romano as playing the French waiters in other episodes?

Send in the clowns was pretty silly. I don't mind it though. I'd rather have this than a boring Ann & Francine arguing episode or a Schneider turning 50 type episode.

The only episode I liked featuring the Ann & Francine duo was the Paris episode in season 8.

Send in the clowns was worst than Bedtime story. It wins the worst ep of the season

TVFactfan. Did you see Ann at all in the first episode with Tony Romano? She is supposed to be in it shortly , comes over to the house and meets Tony. I think Antenna cut that part out? Either that or I missed it somehow?

My Sister did text me and I was briefly looking at my phone during that episode.

But Never hire a relative was worse than Send in the clowns IMO.
