As long as it’s not collect and they speak English, I wouldn’t mind. In this age of everyone having only a cell phone, can you even make a collect call?
I have to disagree with the consensus of opinion on Darin’s use of the hand mirror. He is not self absorbed by choice or inclination. In fact, he is a lonely, lonely man. If his wife would get her nose out of that book and pay the least bit of attention to him, he would abandon that mirror in a flash.
Okay, here’s my opinion. Mr. Stein has lost site of his objective. Liz is caught in the middle, being squeezed between kids on one side and aging parents on the other. Instead of turning Liz into a typical comic strip wife/shrew, Mr. Stein should give her enough insight to know her husband has become the focus of all her frustrations. And instead of turning Sam into another stereotypical wimp, Mr. Stein should use humor to show Sam’s understanding that her anger isn’t caused by him although it is directed at him.
Wait! Are you saying TJ is gay? Did I miss his coming out party?
