Episodes (Showtime) -- Season 3 Thread (Matt LeBlanc) -- premieres 1/12/14




Synopsis:

Season 3 begins with Matt fighting for custody of his children and trying to convince his ex-wife to forgive him for sleeping with his stalker. Meanwhile, Sean and Beverly get back together but soon discover that old wounds don't heal so easily, especially when new secrets are revealed about their time apart. At the network, Carol's ambitions are dealt a cruel blow.



9 episode 3rd season

BTW, Directv fixed the airdate issue. You can now set the season pass without any problems. It now says 2014.


Showtime already renewed this for a 4th season a few weeks ago. One of the most underrated comedies on right now. Matt LeBlanc is hilarious in this show.

One of my favorite comedies. Took long enough to get this back on the air, though. It's been more than a year since the last episode aired, IIRC.

Funny start, I love Sean & Beverly together.

Kind of an obvious thing that Carol was going to get stiffed on the new job.

It's still weird to see how great Matt LeBlanc is playing low key, after more than a decade of Joey.

Good start

Surprised that this picked up right after the events of last season, literally the day after.

Not surprised at all that Carol got screwed out of the promotion. I don't think they were ever serious about giving her the job.

Nice that Matt is still seeing Marc's hot blind wife. at Matt saying Fuck You to him over and over and then their interaction before he closed the shades.

I'm happy that Sean and Beverly are back together. Totally forgot that Beverly slept with James Purefoy last season. The long gap between the seasons didn't help.

Good stuff. Loved it and glad it is back. I wonder how much we'll see of Merc now that he doesn't have a job.

Do we know who or if they've cast someone as the new head of the network?

Spoiler:


IMDB lists an actor for the name Castor Sotto for episode 2 who I believe was the name they were saying in this episode.

Finally watched this. Funniest bit for me was Carol's flashback with Merc when she enters her new office for the first time.

Glad this show is back finally.

Re: Episodes - Season 3 - "Episode 2" - 1/19/14

at Matt buying Sean and Beverly a new bed because Sean was so repulsed by the bed that Rob had sex with Beverly in.

So far, 2 for 2 this season. Thought this episode was pretty good. Matt's ex is a bitch but isn't as repulsive as Monica on House of Lies.


at Castor Sotto actually being a psycho in therapy.


Really loving Carol this season. Kathleen Rose Perkins has really blossomed in the character.

I thought Sean's neuroses were a little annoying this episode.

Did Matt really put butter in red sauce? I may have to try that.

Yeah, I like her character, too. She's also easy on the eyes.

I tried it last night. The sauce was pretty good to start with and I don't know that it really made a difference.

It works- I saw it in a recipe and have been adding it to my sauce ever since- with good results

I like this show but I can do without Sean and Beverly. I don't really find them funny and I don't really care about their marital situation. I do like the new Castor character but the only reason I watch is for Matt LeBlanc.
