Gee, Wee Ga Lee Makes the Big Three: This Is Us "The Big Three"

The episode "The Big Three" has shown heart, a shocker and a catchy tune that should stick to you for a week.

This week's episode dived into some really good story lines with Kate and Toby, when Kate is struggling to lose weight but Toby hasn't. The two go to a Hollywood party that Kevin invited them to for his support. When Toby gets Kate to dance, she sees the other people at the party looking at them and laughing, feeling embarrassing (something that I would a lot of times).

Another was Randle and his father, William. When Randall's wife asked him about how long William will stay, Randall wants to try and help him with his health issue.But after a asking for money for the bus and coming home late, she talks to William and asked point blankly (like Kristina from Parenthood) if he's buying drugs until Randall came and opened up about the cat that he feeds, named Clooney.

And the one that probably stole the show was Jack and Rebecca, as we saw from the beginning a happy soon to be parents couple til now we see them dealing with the kids at an age around 8 years old. Rebecca feels that their struggling at parenting and the one thing that isn't helping is Jack and his coming home late drinking. She tells him to be a man and fix it and after a night sleeping in the hallway, Rebecca comes out and sits with him and he tells her that he's gonna give the drinking up and make them at a parenting level a 12.

Kevin storyline was okay but not one I have liked expect last week's pilot. Kevin, who quit the Manny show, his agent (played by Kathy Segal) forces him to apologizes to the head network guy ( played by Brad Garrett) at a party. He doesn't want to and Kate helps him deciding that he should tell the guy off. Not a good thing to do to a the Big Boss at a Big Network when your show is the third most watched comedy. Even after threatening, Kevin, he calls Randall for advice and after the two talk Kevin decided he quit not matter what happened.

This episode was amazing with some really good story lines and a catchy tune that Jack had the kids sing it out one by one: "First came me and dad and gee, then came me and dad said wee and the third one came and dad said ga lee that makes three...The Big Three!! We see and hear that in both story lines as it made the three kids (adults) closer.

There was a shocker after watching Jack and Rebecca getting pounced from the kids, listing to a great track of "Can't Find My Way Home," we go back to Randall and his family, William settling in helping and soon the doorbell rings, it's Randall's parents and as he came up we see Rebecca and a guy that Randall calls Miguel walks beside her with a smile. WOW! Right?

You can catch This Is Us at it's new time Tuesday nights at 9/8c on Oct. 11 on NBC.

Netflix renews Stranger Things for Season Two




The waiting from Netflix is over for the future of Stranger Things. The summer hit 1980's triller is renewed for a second season.

Season 2 will arrive sometime in 2017, it will consist of nine episodes. That's one more than the freshman season of eight. With the release of the teaser trailer, the story will pick up about a year later, in the fall of 1984. There are many returning characters are expected to comeback, though the creators of the series Mat and Ross Duffer aren't saying much about the key player, telling EW.com that Eleven' involvement is "up in the air."

Last month at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, the Duffer Brothers told reporters that a potential second season would delve into "bigger mythology" behind young Will Beyers' disappearance.

"There are definitely a lot of cliffhanger-y threads at the end (of season 1 finale)," explained Matt Duffer. "It's open-ended in a way that if people wanted it, and Netflix wanted it, we could explore it and continue the storyline."

Season 2 will add four new characters and venture "a little bit" outside Hawkins, Ind., the Duffers told EW.com.

You can catch the children actors of Stranger Things tonight on the Tonight Show at 11:34/10:34c on NBC and you can catch the first season of Stranger Things streaming on Netflix.
