Ah Sarah, the self sabotage EVERYONE predicted you'd do finally came home to roost.
I absolutely LOVE this show, but its amazing how many of the characters actually deserve the problems they end up dealing with at times.

We really like this show but it's getting too damn depressing.

This show used to be happy emotional. Now its sad emotional. Still a great show but not what I signed up for.
This was an okay episode. Ray Romano started out as a potentially good character but he is annoying me now.
The story line with the adopted kid is just terrible. The wife is just emasculating. Joel putting her in her place was great but he should have been even tougher on her.
I dont really like the road they are going down with Christina. I didn't like it when they started it and they are taking it to a very dark place. I just don't need to see someone going down that road with their health. I know it happens in real life but.....
I liked this show when it played on my emotions and had that feel good twist to it. They used the hard parts of life to get you to a good moment. Now they are using good moments to get you to hard things.

It doesn't, but how often do we watch shows usually waiting/wanting the lead characters to get what's coming to them who already weren't considered "evil" therefore we'll be happy when the reckoning comes.
This is one of those "You're such a nice person/character, but dammit, get destroyed right now" kind of things. Its an odd thought process.
