I still loved when Mary put the box down and was basically "Suck it bitches"

But seriously, get rid of them.

I thought it was great. Curious what others thought and if I'm the only one still watching.

Pesrhaps I'm easily pleased, but I had it tivoed, watched all the episodes and really like the finale. It's no "Closer" -- still up there at the top of my cable fave list, but I'll watch again next summer.

I thought the finale started out very powerfully but degenerated into the cutesy-funny BS they've been jamming down our throats all season long with Mary's dysfunctional family. The letters thing was okay, but when they veered away from the tensions between them into the "Well, he liked ME better than YOU!" thing, I thought it missed an opportunity to bring the show to a new level. (A better level.)

I'll tune in next season, but only because it's a summer...

Family discount had to be the most transparent way of shoehorning the mom/daughter into the story.

PLEASE WRITE THEM OUT.

*rolling eyes at the naysayers* It's so easy to be snarky about a show you don't like. I think this one has some potential. Sure, the writers have had some weak moments, and I don't like the sister at all, but there's potential with Mom,and the boyfriend. I love Marshall, especially when they let him escape from the dead-pan persona. It's better than half the crap out there right now.

But yeah....Burn Notice is definitely better.

My bet? We get the very.special.finale in which she and loser daughter are in jeopardy, with Mary facing a Lifetime Network decision on how to save them or sacrifice her career....

Bah!

I have the feeling the reason the mom and sister are around is that they hoped to recreate the same dynamic that Brenda had with her mom in Closer only they've failed miserably.

Finally caught up, my thoughts:
Ralph leaving, they just didn't like him from the pilot to show and therefore wrote him out? Don't miss him, I didn't even notice he was gone until this episode.

Marshall has ridiculously subtle facial expressions. I'm not sure if that's...

that's supposed to explain why she is the way she is

I think that's precisely what the writers are doing.

Lesley Anne Warren is too good of an actress, and too much of an icon, to waste on a forgettable role like this.

I keep waiting for her to be allowed to do something, ANYTHING.

But no.

She's stuck with the bimbo loser daughter who sucks the life out of every scene she's in.

truly, mom and sis are more than a waste of time, they're a drag on the whole show. they contribute nothing and the tone of their segments is totally out of place with everything else. their whole storyline is based on their being preciously quirky and endearing which they are NOT at ALL. you just know if mary had to protect people like them she'd turn around and slap them silly. i suppose if you think about it, that's supposed to explain why she is the way she is but it's...

yea - you get a ways in and the title "Trojan Horst" gives it away. I like that Marshall stayed alive for her ;) This show needs to pick up the pace. The sister and the mother are waste of characters... I need something endearing to keep me watching this show. Marshall can't be the only reason I watch :s Unless he wants to do most of scenes with no shirt/clothes on.

Burn Notice can't get on my TV screen fast enough! I've got both my sisters ready for it as well...

Well, that was the Horst ep, with Dave Foley.

Not too bad. I kinda figured out the twist during the initial firefight with no bullets going anywhere near the backseat. Plus where oh where could the GPS device be?

Still, it was a fun take on the prisoner hostage warhorse of a plot.

Bring on Burn Notice, though! The ads for it are driving me crazy.

I am glad the Raff? Ralph? Raph? character is gone to baseball camp. I hope he stays away for the entire run of the show. Dude can not act...

I find myself going back and forth between liking and hating this show. Next week's promo looks good. It's the Trogan Horst episode that I hear the critics are saying is where the show starts to get more interesting?? We'll see....

I kept wondering if Christian was only going to be in the pilot ep. Then, they finally slipped him in for 5 minutes, and off he went.

AND the sister! I wanted to slap both of them with that disgusting Avon crap. It was sooooo out of place and just ... wrong. Leslie Ann Warren was on The View last week and all but said she wants out of her contract so she can be free to re-appear on Desperate Housewives, which apparently she can't do as long as she's on...

The thing is that I like this show, but I don't love it. It's average. And there's is nothing that is pulling me in to make it appointment TV. It's missing a WOW factor. The last two episodes felt more like 3rd or 4th season episodes than 1st season episodes. It feels like the show is almsot on it's last legs. It's decent but not spectacular. I just hope they really turn up the heat a bit.

I really liked last night's episode. It had Missy Pyle in it, who was that Hope-stripper from "Heroes," and Marshall and Mary kissed. Well...Marshall kissed Mary, but that's not the point. I love how Mary got her dress caught in the car and she pushed the car out of the way of the train. Whoa, that's awesome.

Can't wait for next week with Dave Foley in it!

I forever associate her with Clue. Awesome movie -- I rewatched it recently and it's aged well. Colleen Camp's boobies are alone (or together) worth renting it.

The witness protection kid ep was OK, I thought. But they kept changing his personality every five minutes. The Avon schtick got real old, real fast.

Still, not a bad series so far.

Have been seeing a few ads for this new show. Guess it was supposed to have premiered during the second week of June, but is being bumped-up to Jun. 1. Works for me, b/c the sooner I get some new shows to watch this summer the better...

I liked Mary McCormack on K Street and the West Wing. She really had the "DC-type" down...so, should be cool to see how she takes on the "Southwestern US Marshall..."
