Episodes: Season 3, Episode 1 (B+)
The news from about a month ago that this show would be returning for a fourth season was so welcome, especially because it hadn’t yet premiered its third season, which means that we have at least eighteen episodes of this fantastic series to look forward to in the future. This season opener was extremely consistent and satisfying, and it’s so great to have this show back on the air. Merc showing up at Matt’s house to confront him and talk to Jamie involved some amusing immaturity on Matt’s part and the staggering news that Jamie hired Matt’s ex-wife’s attorney to represent her. Matt’s eagerness to listen to the details of Beverly and Sean’s reconciliation was predictably overzealous and inappropriate, and it’s good to see that the once-happy couple is doing well again. Unfortunately, Beverly’s insistence on changing the sheets has revealed that she too had an indiscretion with a member of the Randolph family, and that could reset things completely in a very bad way. Sean helping Matt to write his letter to Diane was nice, and it’s a shame that Matt had to get pulled over while speeding with his kids in the car and couldn’t talk his way out of it with an autograph or photo. Carol telling Beverly to go first before interrupting her with own story was entertaining, but it looks like Carol, who managed to tell a dozen people that she was getting a job she ultimately didn’t get in the space of two minutes, is going to have far more woes than being a featured player in the filmed fight, and her job and those of her loyal lackeys may not be as secure as she thought. I’m so delighted to have this show back.
