Synopsis for "The Anti-Social Network"



8 episode final season


I'm just going to do 1 thread for the entire season, especially since it's so short and alot of USA shows like this don't really have alot of discussion.

I love Mary McCormack and have liked this show through it's entire run. Hope it ends strong.

BTW, she already signed on for a network Pilot for next season

Same here... I've really enjoyed this show since the beginning. Wish it got a full final season but I'll take the 8 they are doing.

Charlie Goose

I like it okay at first, then gave up two seasons ago. I'll probably watch the last two episodes.

All you really need to know is:

Mary McCormack got pregnant last season and it was written into the show.

Last season had a major arc about the pregnancy. The father is Mary's ex husband, who she had a 1 night stand with.

Marshall is dating an Albuquerque PD detective (played by Rachel Boston)

Mary's ex boyfriend Raphael left the show for good after season 3 after she broke off their engagement.

Brandi was dating a car dealer for most of the last 2 seasons, but broke things off during last season's finale on their wedding day. She's no longer part of the show.

There, your caught up.

I thought it was a good episode.

Last season ended on a cliffhanger and I'm glad they jumped forward 6 months instead of picking up where it left off.

The case of the week was not really that interesting. It was pretty obvious that Tippy was dirty. I enjoyed more of the character aspect of it with Mary returning to work, dealing with the new baby and reuniting with Marshall.

I really liked the flashbacks that showed Mary not having a motherly bone in her body and struggling dealing with the crying baby.

Not really going to miss Brandi or Jinx. Jinx I liked in small doses, but Brandi was really annoying and mostly useless.

Evan Meadow

The girl who played Brandi is completely off the show?

Must still be taking parenting classes after her child got taken away.

For me the show has slowly declined in quality each season. I was considering dropping the show but I can stick it out for 8 eps.

DJariya

I would disagree with you.

Season 2 was a little inconsistent. But, season 3 they got a new showrunner and pulled off a pretty solid season even though he got sick and was forced to quit the show.

Last season, they had the challenge of writing in Mary's real-life pregnancy and they pulled it off with alot of humor incorporated. Honestly, there was really no way they could pull off hiding Mary's pregnancy considering she's a pretty voluptuous woman. This show is a character-driven procedural carried by Mary's snarkiness and her banter with Marshall.

Even though the season is short, I'm glad they got a 5th season to wrap things up.

Crap I missed this and see no re-airings. Guess I will have to wait for Hulu.

How they managed to write them both out of the show with about two lines of dialogue was so quick, I almost got whiplash. Wow. They'd been writing Jinx out for a while, but this looks like most certainly the last of her.

These last episodes should be interesting. I'm expecting them to be more character driven and less about the wit sec person of the week by the looks of how this episode went which would be fine by me to wrap the show.

Bump New episode tonight.

Episode 2 of 8

"Four Marshals and a Baby"

Deftones

This would appear to be the episode with Eric the Midget of Howard Stern show fame.

Fist of Doom

Wow, Stan really batted out of his league this ep. Tia Carrere looked fantastic.

I wonder if the series will end up with the ABQ office closed, and everyone going their own way.

Ack Ack!

Go Stan!

Talk about getting someone way way out of his league.

Tia looks great. Guess her work on Dancing with the Stars a few years ago paid off.

As for the case of the week, the Bigamist got what he deserved.

Happy to see Marshall and Abby engaged. I know there's some fans who want Mary and Marshall together at the end, but IMO they aren't compatible at all romantically. They have a very brother-sister like bond.

and drats, too bad Mary shot down the hot potential nanny.

Fist of Doom

Marshall in drag had me

While it's always cool to see Stephen Lang, introducing Mary's father means we'll probably be seeing Mary's sister and Mom again. Blurgh.

Tonight is episode 7 of 8

Next Friday is the Series Finale. I know this show doesn't get priority viewing from most of you, but the series is almost over.
