Me too. But they need to find something to do with Mac’s character. I don’t know how far “super earnest gay guy who has a crush on dennis and hates dee” can go at this point. They gotta completely revamp him again.

Apparently I never watched the last few episodes of King of Queens. Probably for the best.

I went back and read the episode synopsis for the finale on Wiki. It's pretty wild. :lol:
After Doug learns that his wife Carrie has not given up the apartment in Manhattan as she promised, though he quit his job as an IPS driver for a job as a salesperson, which she requested that he do, he is furious. Doug does not want to attend her father Arthur's wedding to Ava St. Clair (Lainie Kazan), which takes place in Poughkeepsie; instead, he stays at home watching The Price is Right, and several references to the game show are made, including contestants bidding on a prize, and Doug yelling to the TV that "the Rice-a-Roni is much cheaper than the Turtle Wax" and ranting about how "Ensign Curtis just cost himself a trip to the Showcase Showdown". However, his best friend Deacon Palmer takes him to Poughkeepsie anyway.

Ava St. Clair reveals to Carrie that after a few failed marriages, she now only marries gay men. Ava later learns that Arthur is not gay and promptly leaves the ceremony without informing Arthur. Carrie attempts to comfort Arthur by telling him, "She had wanted a companion." Arthur refuses to announce that the wedding is off, and proposes to Veronica Olchin, Spence's mother (Anne Meara) in the men's room. She at first declines, but later accepts. Carrie and Spence are both surprised and against the decision. The ceremony is performed by Rabbi Feldman (Josh Cooke), because the original bride Ava was Jewish, although neither Arthur nor Veronica is Jewish. The wedding ends with Arthur smashing a glass with his foot, while everyone cheers, "Mazel tov!".

Immediately afterward, Carrie is notified that the baby she and Doug wanted to adopt is waiting for them in Beijing. However, Doug does not want to have a baby with her anymore because of her betrayal regarding the apartment. A very pregnant Holly (Nicole Sullivan) also shows up at the wedding, as does the Heffernans’ neighbor, Lou Ferrigno. At this point, it is also revealed that Holly's husband recently left her. When Lou tries to cheer everyone up with "Such a Happy Day," he is greeted by very unhappy expressions.

Doug, who sits outside in the back of the building where the ceremony is performed, makes an offer to Spence to become his new roommate, since he is divorcing Carrie, but later retracts the offer when Holly tells him her story. Very drunk, he challenges each of them to a wrestling match, but falls asleep while fighting with Holly. When Arthur learns that Doug will not toast him as his best man, he pitches the role to Spence, who turns it down, and ultimately, Deacon is forced to make the toast, though Deacon pleads that he doesn't know him that well.

Spence tries to move back in with Doug's cousin Danny because Arthur will be living with his wife Veronica now. He learns, however, that Danny is uncircumcised. Danny's secret lover tells Spence that secret of his anatomy. He also tells Spence that for years Danny had hidden feeling for Spence for many many years.

Holly and Spence begin talking and realize that they both do not have a place to stay, so they decide to get an apartment together. Danny returns without Sandy, and suggests that Spence and he move back in together. Spence accepts, leaving Holly alone without a place to stay.

Meanwhile, Kelly points out to Carrie that she should not feel so guilty about keeping the apartment, because Doug let Carrie down many times in the past. Carrie is convinced and tells Doug off.

Both decide that they want to get the baby for themselves and board the same plane, although Carrie leaves the house first, and Doug has to find his passport, which Deacon finds in the vegetable crisper. Holly met Rabbi Feldman and they hit it off. Holly is going to move in with him and convert to Judaism. Doug later surprises Carrie on board the plane, by greeting her with a gruff "Hello!" and showing her his passport in triumph. He also adds that "Deacon's BLT was delicious, as is my revenge."

They use the long flight to sort out their problems and remain together. After getting baby Ming-Mei from the adoption agency, Carrie finds out that she is pregnant. She is scared about the changes to come, but Doug is optimistic that they will be able to handle it together.

The episode fast-forwards one year and shows Doug and Carrie each respectively carrying one of their crying infant children attempting to calm them down. Arthur suddenly barges in through the front door with a suitcase, announcing that his marriage "didn't work out." Suitcase in hand, he goes straight to the basement, leaving Doug and Carrie surprised and speechless.

The episode ends with a three-minute montage of scenes from the show's nine seasons to A Million Billion's song "Milk & Honey". As the song concludes, the series ends with a final screen shot: "thanks for the ride...". This montage is not included in the version released on Blu-ray or in syndication; in those versions, the episode ends immediately after the living room scene.
The most unbelievable part of all of it is that Carrie could afford a Manhattan apartment on the side after their money struggles were a core theme through the entire show.

I watched the first 15 minutes or so of the new Chappell special. Not great. Just a bunch of easy, broad, shock humor.

Does it get any better? Any cutting social commentary?

Finished season 2 of The Kingdom (Netflix) today. Very much enjoyed it, and can't wait for season 3.

The best part of the whole special, for me, was the zoom in on the two SJW looking women after the trans humor. Agree with you though on the content in general.

Absolutely. I still think that we find out that Rupert gave his shares to him, and he tries to do something wild, like fire Ted.

I am hesitant to start watching a network sitcom, but CBS has an American version of the UK series Ghosts that starts tonight. The UK version is on HBO Max, and is really funny. The show is written and stars a Second City or Groundlings type comedy group/troupe, so the chemistry is very evident among the ghosts. The CBS version looks like a scene-for-scene remake but set in the US.

Ty Franck has been cagey about calling this the final season. Book readers know there are more books in the series, and the last book is out later this fall (it got delayed because of supply chain issues).

I do agree that the promotion felt unearned but the stuff with Nate and Ted dealing with the fallout from the article were fantastic. Also the Ted talk about choices… classic Ted Lasso.
