Hope they add the 17th and 18th missing shows to season 6.
The episode with young Jack and brother (Michael Aragano) are some of the best in the series.
Kevin immediately drops that heavy conversation with Randall once the family comes in

Boo. If any show deserves 10+ seasons, it's this one.

I think that was part of the plan but with all the crap that lasts for 10 seasons or more why can't they keep going?
Maybe a prequel or do a spinoff show with just Milo and Mandy Moore?

Its very expensive and unowned. Ratings have taken a major dump in the last few years. NBC doesn’t really need it with all owned shows doing similar ratings like Chicago’s and even now L%O.

I thought it was in the top 5 of the highest rated shows on TV still.

and as mentioned NBC doesn't own this show. Disney/FOX does. After 6 seasons, the cast would be due for huge raises for new contracts. The creator did say last week his intention was to end it after 6 seasons. And when NBC renewed it for 3 seasons in 2019, that was a pretty much a sign they planned to end it.

One more episode to go this season.
I loved the talk around the campfire at the "bachelor party". Miguel really shone here, what he said was so heartfelt and resonated.
Kevin can really be a shit. If he bails on Madison I'll be pissed. But again, this show is so good at telling the stories of likeable but flawed people without devolving into either maudlin or smarmy sweetness.

My first thought was that if the wedding is off, it has to be Madison that initiates it, or the general audience will hate Kevin. At first I figured they wouldn't do all this set-up unless they were breaking them up, but after reading the producers' comments I'm just not sure. They've been careful not to give any hint in Kevin's "future" scenes.

They've gotten so good at the aging makeup I have a hard time remembering that Miguel isn't really that age. Seeing Castle reruns is jarring.

I'm getting annoyed by Randall calling Toby "Tobias". Sure, it's probably his actual name but everyone else calls him Toby, even his wife. Do his parent even call him Tobias?

But Toby is short for Tobias…
It is his name.

"If he bails on Madison" They only been telegraphing that for a year now. It's plain as day she's not who he ends up with...And I wouldn't say bail just two smart people are realizing the reality of the situation and how they feel.

And that last scene (the 5 year time hop)... where did that come from?! (I think we should have seen this coming though.)
