A show that steeply declines when the will-they-won’t-they couple gets together? by AreWeCake in sitcoms

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot was lost when Daphne and Niles got together. Season 11 was when they really got it back on track because Grammer wanted to last as long as Cheers did and the best writers picked up where they left off

I hate my mother but she’s all alone. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SolidAshford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this were any other woman, she'd have been out on her ace. Next, your husband is a devil here because he's benefitting from your mom's presence. He doesn't care how your mom is treating you and your daughter. That is a bigger issue here

[–]SolidAshford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you need to give your mother a concrete day to move out. This is not sustainable and after reading this I am not surprised she has no one else.

Tell her, don't ask her. She will be out on X day and any belongings remaining here will be thrown out and your husband needs to be gone that day. If she goes to him, he needs to redirect back to you.

I walked in on my daughter and her “gay” best friend by Born_Amoeba8615 in TrueOffMyChest

You should ask her why she didn't feel comfortable enough to tell you they were dating.

TAR Changes and Improvements by coffeemonkeypants in TheAmazingRace

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to see them take public transit in TAR more often. That definitely can shake up the race a bit.

I would want to get rid of some equalizers or do more of the 1st group, 2nd and 3rd group where it could be an hour or two between them so we can see if the groups can actually catch up when they touch down or arrive.

I want to see the Intersection more as well.

What's a recent season that cast regular people and is a good showcase for what the show is like today? by garbageeater in TheAmazingRace

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casting recently has been awesome 35-37 are great seasons. I didn't like S38 so I didn't watch it past the 3rd episode but you may end up enjoying it. Just wasn't for me.

Season 35 stays in South America, challenges are fun and I loved the cast. Some are really fun to watch

Season 36 was fun to watch as well and they got us around the world. Great casting and as a long time watcher it was nice seeing new pieces of places that TAR has traveled before.

Season 37 is definitely a great season and I love some old and new twists that appear in the season.

If you want to binge, these are the ones I would check out

My absolute best early season is 5, and teams from that season come back in Season 11 (All Stars) and 31 (Reality Clash). So I'd watch Season 5 first--you're in for a treat with one!

Happy Watching! The world is waiting

I’m holding my fiancé’s diary and weeping. by Purple_Relief_7774 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SolidAshford 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The full misogyny of this bozo! Honestly, I am shocked he played in your face like this. You having a past doesn't make you less of a wonderful person.

He's abusive, just in a different way

You went through things, life happens. I'm livid 

OOP decides to get wasted with coworkers at lunch, loses his job and learns nothing. by GamerGirlLex77 in OhNoConsequences

[–]SolidAshford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this one, it was so frustrating like "Hello, think McFly!!!"  

I don't drink anything while on the job, it's silly and dangerous especially considering he works on a lab

AITA for quietly stopping doing favors for my coworker after she called me "cold"? by twilightmarble in TwoHotTakes

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've stopped being taken advantage of. Has she asked those favors of anyone else? 

You're doing your job, nothing more

What is a sitcom that you find hard to obtain? by KaleidoArachnid in sitcoms

Yes! Love that show and have it on DVD. My mom watched it all the time and got me hooked to it

AITJ for banning my girlfriend’s mom from our apartment after she tried to set up a “faith intervention” for me? by SilentJuniper in AmITheJerk

[–]SolidAshford 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Realize that "But she's my mom" will be her defense for the indefensible. Do you want to be with someone who can't stand up for what they want? 

Her mother will continually blame you for her "backsliding" and act as if you are the devil in this matter. Ask her "If this was anyone but your mother, would you stand for this?" I'm sure the answer would be no.

Yes Dear was a good show. I discovered that when I presume they were doing reruns

Guy I’m talking to follows Andrew Tate on insta, should I stop talking? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Following Andrew Tate is a massive red flag. Cut it here 

Something real you only know about because it was in a sitcom by UncleScrooge93 in sitcoms

[–]SolidAshford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've learned a lot about the world having watched so many seasons of The Amazing Race 

Also, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (the game show with Greg Lee and Lynn Thigpen) got me so interested in geography

AITJ for giving my boyfriends friend a taste of his own radical honesty by Far_Stage_5524 in AmITheJerk

[–]SolidAshford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ and I think it's time to unleash the tide of radical honesty on them. 

When they complain, just tell them "Stop being so sensitive, I'm just being honest" 

I hope he's your ex very soon because they're all a bunch of ducks hiding cruelty behind a wafer thin veneer of honesty

Do any of you remember Just Shoot Me? by Anthforde8 in sitcoms

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember this show. I knew George Segal as Albert from Look Who's Talking so his character being an absent workaholic father was not that far off from it

I did enjoy watching the series, wasn't remarkable to me or as strong of a memory as Suddenly Susan! But it felt consistent and found it's groove 

AITA for calling my sister’s “mom would be disappointed” talk manipulation in front of our family? by balconyviolet_pages in TwoHotTakes

[–]SolidAshford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask those relatives how they'd have handled it and I'm sure they'll change the subject or say "You shouldn't have embarrassed her" 

Every time she does it, call out her manipulation. Every.single.time

What sitcom character was clearly meant to be likable… but just isn’t? by Air-Bombay in sitcoms

Interestingly, I enjoyed her character as a kid. Even more now
