Please don't judge this show by the dialogue
6 November 2020
The dialog in this show is often mind-numbingly stupid. Especially between Joe and Allison, and especially when they're in bed. Typical dialog: Allison: "It's raining outside." Joe: "What the heck are you talking about? I don't understand what you are trying to say to me!" I should mention that Allison is ostensibly a college graduate (having been in law school before the show started) and Joe ostensibly has at least one PhD (I think they said in mathematics, even though he works in aeronautic engineering). But from their dialog, it would be EASY to assume the two had not yet graduated from the 6th grade.

Also, Joe seems to be in seriously poor health. He often sounds like he's barely conscious (not just in bed, but most of the time). He often barely moves his mouth when he speaks (which only contributes to the impression he is in poor health).

Also, despite the fact that Allison, Ariel AND Bridgette often burst into tears for no apparent reason, not one of them has sought treatment (as I would INSIST if I were Joe and had to live with this).
