CHEAT TWEET: R U ready 4 some SOFTBALL?! It’s @RobinWilliams vs. #BradGarrett in a #CRAZY softball showdown! @CrazyOnesCBS 11/21 9:01pm

I liked this one, though not as much as last weeks. My favorite scene was when Simon was running around the bases even though he hadn't hit the ball.

It's funny cause I actually loved this one A LOT MORE than last week :lol:

I don't know if it's Andrew/Sydney that gets back to me or just that I had the pilot + Episode 4 vibe in that one! I finally felt like there was a follow up to the story :sigh:

I really dislike Nancy though, saying Syd is a monster just cause she got hit... It wasn't even Sydney's fault... Though I guess it does mean she feels threatened by her :D

I'm a bit sad though that Andrew couldn't admit being the one who kissed Sydney, but I love my baby girl Syd for lying to protect him :in_love: She's such a sweet generous person!

I don't get though why she wanted to be friends with Nancy so much?? It confused me, cause she basically disliked everything about her in 1x04 :confused:

I also liked Brad/Simon's relationship more in this one and Simon/Zach's relationship is so, so amazing :sigh:

I love how supportive Sydney was of Simon in this episode!! It was nice to see the situations reversed in their relationship with him being the insecured one this time (about the game) though Zach is the one who helped him out this time. I also loved when he said he valued more Syd's opinion than Zach's, that's how it should be :nod:

I don't know if it's just me but I felt like Andrew's description about the whole Snap/Pop/Crackle thing was more about him & his relationship with Sydney & Nancy ^^

Also, Simon being high and running after the ball he didn't hit :lmao:

All in all, really LOVED this episode :love:

I loved the Syd/Andrew in the episode.:sigh:

It's So obvious that Andrew wants to be with her and not Nancy.

I think Sydney wants everybody to like her.

Even if she hates them.:lol:

"Do you think Snap and Crackle are too far apart?"

"Yeah, but Pop wants it that way. See, he's secretly in love with Snap, and though he appreciates Crackles ideas, Pop is ready to move on. Just he and Snap, starting over, somewhere fresh."

I'm wondering when the writers are gonna mention that Andrew is an inspiring screenwriter/ comic book writer like it said in his character profile when HL was cast. I wonder if they dropped it.

Yeah that's totally Andrew projecting his issues.:lol:

Maybe they did.

Here's a good review of the past couple episodes
It's A Double-header Review! The Crazy Ones, Episodes 8 & 9: Sobering Surprises | Gossip and Gab

Thanks for the link.

Me too!! Gave me so many feels!! :in_love:

That's the way I feel about it too :nod: He mostly stays with Nancy cause he thinks Syd doesn't want to be with him and I guess that it's easier to be with someone than to be alone :)

I guess you're right about Syd! That's totally her :lol:

Yeah, that part :lol:

He was definitely projecting his situation there ^^

Thanks for the review! It was a good read :)

I wonder if Andrew has any deep feelings at all for Nancy?

Yeah me too...

I feel like he mostly doesn't want to be alone and also enjoys sleeping with her apparently :lol:

Is Brad Garrett a perm. cast member now or still a limited guest star??

It says he is just recurring right now from what I read.

I want him as a reg.

Yeah I am liking andrew too.

Did you ever see the show The New Adventures of Old Christine?

He played the brother on it.

It wasn't the best show ever but decent.

It's on repeats now on Nick at nite too.
