hat's the feeling I get and that the kids have something to resent Rebecca on about it.

Yeah, they're gonna have heard that fight or something. The Dad dying after a dinner alone and fight with the wife is HORRIBLE!!! Almost unrealistic that they turned out as well as they did after that. Unless there is much more through college years in the way of rebellion and drugs etc. Also, the mom in the cabin screaming and locking doors in Randalls acid trip is telling. If anything kills this show it will be balancing out the humor and the "feels". There is only so much an audience can take before they get turned off. How many times could you watch Terms of Endearment.

I always bring up NYPD Blue. I LOVED that show, but was ready to quit it when they toyed with giving his young son Theo lymphoma or some shite. I was done. It became unrealistic that one man could suffer that much and still function with the demons he already had. Take his son away at that point and Sipowicz pickles his liver and dies.... Has to.
