In the season premiere of Life In Pieces, a family vacation in the wildernesses isn't all that is cracked up to be. Here's a recap!
In the season premiere, The Short Family celebrates John and Joan's 50th wedding anniversary by taking a family vacation to Mexico. As Joan and John were excited, the rest weren't. From Jen and Greg dealing with Lark and the stuffed armadillo that she mispronounces, they even lose it in the jungle, which leaves Greg to look for it in the dark of night, which is so wild and hilarious.
Meanwhile, Sophia isn't too thrilled that everyone gets to go on a fun adventure while she gets to hang out with her mother. As they prepare for the "Fashion in the Jungle," she opens up to her dad, and he tells her the truth about not wanting to be her baby anymore. That leads to Sophia trying the ziplines, but as she tries to stop from going down, her mother lets her go.
Instead of staying in a hot and sticky room where animals can crawl into your face, Matt and Colleen found a way to enjoy the family vacation: staying at a better hotel with room service and air conditioning. But when Greg, Heather, and Tim found out, everyone expected John and Joan to live it up, even if it's coming out of Colleen's credit card and Tim gets tipsy.
As for John and Joan, as they sleep in a bunk bed, they try to have fun. Even when they tour the jungle, John takes her on a detour to a wilder adventure that leads them lost. But when they find the road and a bus, they see that the whole family is returning and take Colleen's offer of staying at the hotel while the rest of the family stays at the jungle cabins.
"Jungle Push Resort Anniversary" was a hilarious and wonderful season opener. From the beginning to the end, the episode brought many fun moments and even some memories of my family vacation. Each story moment in the attack was equally better, but even if I had to pick, I would have to go with Greg and Jen's quest to get the armadillo back for Lark. Even Sophia and Heather's story moment was excellent and memorable. And what can you not say about John and Joan's moment that ended on a high note? The writing was good, and the character development was too. The performance of the cast was outstanding. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10
You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.
