This will be the last new episode for awhile. With only 7 more to go this season. This is one season, I will be glad when it`s over.

HuntingtonM15 · 03-02-2004, 10:34 PM

I figured the new episodes had to be coming to an end soon. I actually liked this season. I prefer it much more to last season.

Shutty! · 03-02-2004, 11:41 PM

With the exception of last week's Towel Guy episode, I too enjoyed this season.

I'm looking forward to next season and where they take the show after Leah's pregnancy.

Personally, I miss seeing Doug and Carrie physically interact with each other like the previous seasons.

I can't wait until Carrie's back to "normal".

The last episode, I couldn`t understand half of what Leah was saying.

I had no problem with it...

Leah is a little more nasally due to her allergies because of her pregnancy. She can't really take anything medication either.

They need to get a bunch of air purifiers and hide them within the set.

HuntingtonM15 · 03-04-2004, 08:06 AM

She didn't seem to have much of a problem with her allergies while filming this episode.

Huntington,
Are you the spokesperson for KOQ's? I've looked all over this board and not a single critical comment from you. Do you really feel that this show is perfect? I like the show but it could be better. More consistency in the writing, better character development, and a bit less attention to the Carrie character since she's now more of an obvious distraction.
Are you going to shut down this thread too now that I've expressed my opinion?

Uh, no, I'm not the spokesperson. If I thought the show was perfect, I would always rate it 5/5 on the threads about rating specific episodes. I don't always rate it like that. You think I'm the spokesperson because I said Leah didn't seem to have much of a problem with her allergies in this episode? Ok...

And no, you are allowed to express your opinion, so there is no reason to close this thread. There was clearly a reason to close the other one. It was originally about Leah on Ellen and look what it turned into. If it hadn't been closed, it would have further caused more meaningless Leah bashing and personal attacks.

Huntington,
No, I didn't say that I thought you were a spokesperson for KOQ because of ONE of your comments. You didn't read my post. I said that I looked all over this board and all you do is defend KOQ countless times and don't seem capable of a real critique. Like I said, I like the show. It's just that I am not so blind with idolizing any character or actor on the show. You gotta admit that it is somewhat strange to have the Carrie character walking around with a huge belly and a fat rear end, and then act like nothing is new! Not only that but her stuffy nose is also a distraction to the show. It would seem to me that instead of being so defensive in protecting a person that you don't even know, maybe you should just try and see my point. I mean c'mon, she's not that great of an actress nor is she that great at comedy. Kevin James is the real talent of this show along with Jerry Stiller. I'm telling ya, when this show is over, Leah will fade like a cheap paint job.

If I see something about the show I don't like, I'll say it. There have been times over the years when I haven't liked certain episodes (There were several last season I didn't find to be all that great). However, I have been liking this season, and that is what most of my comments have been recently based on. All that you said about Leah is your opinion. You act as if all of it is fact. It's not. It's been said before (and I very much agree with it) that Leah is one of the main reasons the show took off in the first place.

Nanny Fine · 03-05-2004, 09:44 AM

Leah Remini is not the first and she won't be the last actress to be pregnant on TV when it's not written into the show. Susan St. James, Lauren Lane (there were actually JOKES written in about her being pregnant in real life but not on the show) - On "Days Of Our Lives" in the 80's Mary Beth Evans who played Kayla Brady went through 2 pregnancies not written into the show. There was one memorable love scene done with Stephen Nichols on the roof of their loft when MBE was 9 months pregnant, swollen face, huge body...and the scene was shot and aired as if she were 100 pounds.

If you are a fan of the show (which I wonder because of the posts I'm reading) you look past this stuff and wish Leah the best with her pregnancy and baby and wait for next season when she's back to "normal".

gggsssaaa · 03-05-2004, 10:55 AM

Nanny,
I do, like I said, enjoy watching the show. I've been watching it for a couple of years now as well as reruns. My critique about the show is my opinion. I just have a problem with the script avoiding the most obvious and distracting condition of Carrie. Not only that but her character was much more palatable in the first two years of the show. After that she has gotten to be so obnoxious and irritating that it takes away from me having any compassion for the character. The sneers and constant lip curls as well as her total self absorbed behavior has really turned me off. In the early seasons she was more of a compliment to Kevin's fantastic talents but sadly she has become more of distraction. Sorry if you're shocked that a "fan" can have an opnion such as I do but I call as I see it.

I have a great idea. How about you have your opinions and others have their opinions? It's not that novel an idea actually.

If someone doesn't want to criticize a show, big deal. There are shows that I watch that I don't feel the need to criticize. It doesn't mean I'm blind.

Just because someone doesn't agree with your views or doesn't want to knock a show or character that they love, doesn't give you the right to get on their case.
