Life In Pieces "Waffle Permission Kidless Boyfriend"

Here's a recap of this week's episode of Life in Pieces.

"Waffle Party" 

When Matt and Colleen have breakfast with Joan and John, Joan asks about the waffle maker they got as a wedding gift. That leads to Joan offering them a waffle party. Matt and Colleen will bring everything to make the waffles, and Joan will bring them here and John. But Matt and Colleen didn't tell them they gave away their waffle maker and learned from Joan that they put a bundle of cash in their box. That led Matt and Colleen to go wild at a store looking for the money until John opened up the waffle maker that he bought and came to realize that he had given Matt the wrong one after finding the cash in his box.

"Permission" 

Nothing says like spending time with mom when you are feeling down. Tyler tries to give Clementine space from their place and doesn't know what to do. Heather takes him to the mall to go shopping, get her hair straighten, and even to the movies.

After it was awkward for Tyler, it became one of his best times with his mother. That was until they were at the movies.

"A Night Away"

Jen and Greg get to have a night to themselves away from Lark, but it turns out to be a  real night to remember when things started slowly by drinking wine, playing a game, and sleeping through the day and night away. When they get back, as soon as they begin to get things going, a baby is screaming next door. Greg tries to be the bigger man and tries to make it stop but instead gets asked by the mother to look after her child as she has to take her youngest to the hospital. 

Greg returns to the room with Jen; all dressed up and ready but unprepared to see Greg with someone's child. They try to be good parents, but they have some fun with the child by jumping up and down on the bed to play ding dong ditch.

As they headed back and tried to find the child's mother, Jen got an Amber Alert about a missing child, and the license plate number looked like Greg's and concluded that they shouldn't have taken the child from the hotel.

"Samantha's Boyfriend"

When Sam brings her boyfriend home, John and Sophia get into Tim's head that they may be doing something else besides studying for a test or a play. It freaks Tim out a lot, and he tries to do what he can to ensure he knows they aren't doing anything wrong.

After a couple of tries, he realizes that he shouldn't have listened to John apologize to Sam for his action, and they hug it out. But as soon as she returns to her room, she kisses her boyfriend.

This was an excellent episode from start to finish. The stories were amazing, and each stood out on their own. The writing was excellent, and the performances from the cast were just as good as well. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Life in Pieces "Meal Potty Cart Middle"

From fancy dinners to middle child issues, this episode of Life in Pieces was sometimes good.

"Meal Potty Cart Middle" was a satisfying episode at times. The MVP of this episode was "Potty Training Lark," as Jen and Greg try to teach Lark how to use the potty after they told Joan about how Lark is potty trained—trying their best and learning from Joan that giving her prunes would make it work, not be to mention that Greg had a tail when he was a child. But after being given Lark prunes, she finally had to gather, and then Greg had to go and use Lark's potty while Jen tried to hold Lark's feet.

The second best story would be "The New Cart Girl," as Tyler is golfing with their father and grandfather and sees Clementine as the new golf cart girl handing out drinks and snacks, getting much attention. Tyler tries to fix it and takes the job as Cart Man while Clementine works in Daycare with another good-looking guy. They admit that their divorce isn't what they expected it to be.

"The Middle Child Day" and "Boccone" were good. They had hilarious coupons, but they didn't meet with the other stories.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Life In Pieces "Testosterone Martyr Baked Knife"

This Thanksgiving episode of Life In Pieces was one to remember.

"Testosterone Martyr Baked Knife" might be one of the most memorable Thanksgiving episodes I could remember. The episode takes place on Thanksgiving Day, with Greg learning that he has high testosterone and showing it off, like a macho man, with Jen and the family until he shows signs of pimples. Joan decides that she wants Heather to do the Thanksgiving dinner instead of her but learns that it's hard to find something else after doing what you have been doing for a long time.

Meanwhile, Sam comes to Thanksgiving dinner after a sleepover with her friend and comes in high. She tries to hide it well enough that her mother and father don't notice it, but Tyler does. At times, she goes next door without even knowing how she got there.

And probably the icing on the cake happens to be the knife story when John gets his craving knife out and shows it to Sophia and tells her about how it has been in the family for years. Just as he's about to cut the turkey, the knife slips and gets stuck on the table. Trying to pull it out, he gets the guy to do it, and after Matt and Greg can't do it, the high Tim pulls it out, but as he cuts the turkey and cuts himself, the knife goes wild. As everyone was freaking out, Sam made her toast once again.

I very much enjoyed this episode from the beginning to the end. The writing was so good, and the performances from the cast were just great and memorable. I couldn't get enough of Colin Hanks acting macho to everyone, and even the knife story blew my mind. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Life In Pieces "Treasure Ride Poker Hearing"

From Getting a good Uber passenger rating to learning to get a hearing aid, this episode was another excellent episode of Life in Pieces.

The MVP stories of this episode happen to be "The Pick-Up Artist," as Jen tries to use her niece to get a better Uber Passenger rating, "Queens are Wild," as Joan faces her neighbor who happens to want something in return for her poker game, but what the neighborhood doesn't know is Joan has specific poker skills. Also, the "Hearing and Loathing" comes when John has to face getting hearing aids.

"X Mark the Spot" had some excellent humor moments, but it didn't stand out like the other three stories in this episode.

I thought the writing was good, along with some outstanding performances from the cast in this episode. I liked the character growth in this episode as well. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Life In Pieces "Bunny Single Nightmare Drinking"

From awkward dinner to one hell of a nightmare, this episode of Life in Pieces was another half-hour of many laughs.

"Bunny Single Nightmare Drinking" was an excellent and hilarious episode. The first story of Jen and Greg trying to figure out what her boss' wife's name is was hilarious and memorable. Even with Tyler trying to move on from Clementine, he dates a mother who happens to have children and moves in with him. The funniest part of that story happens to be Tyler and his father, Tim, bonded, and Tim enjoys his son's happiness, which he wasn't.

When it comes to Matt's nightmare of having a child seems so natural as he learns that Colleen is expecting four children and has to move back in with his parents. It was probably the second-best story of the episode.

The last story has Heather thinking that her mom is drinking too much. But it's Heather causing her to drink more as she's trying to spend time with her. Joan admits to Greg and Matt about it and, during that moment, talks about how Heather deleted their shows, even JAG (who, by the way, is way better than NCIS). Joan finally does something about it when she gets a contractor to help fix Heather's house so they can get out.

I very much enjoyed this episode. Each one brought enough laughs and good moments to keep me entertained. The writing was good, and the performances from the cast were just as good as it has been. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.
