"The Big Day" (SPOILER ALERT)Â The Pearson family captures our hearts week after week after week and we continue to wonder how they do it. Â Itâs because the show is âreal.â Â It explores real issues and yet does it in a way that adds the appropriate drama that a television show needs. Â Yet at no point are you feeling like youâre about to say, âthis is just so unrealistic.â Because in reality, almost everyone who has seen this show has seen the situations presented. Â None are too far fetched and all of them hit us in one way or another. Â Itâs just so close to home that itâs nearly impossible not to like it.For a show that took such a risk in combining past and present into one show, you have to appreciate that they pulled it off. Â The seamless blending of Jack and Rebecca with their kids and fast forwarding to Randall, Kate, and Kevin with their own trials and tribulations with their own families and relationships works well. Â The show does a great job of explaining each character and backing up their emotional state with historical references. Â You know why they are the way they are and who they are. Â It all makes sense and you have to credit the writing and directing for that.Plus youâve got two side characters that are highly entertaining. Â Toby brings us the comic relief and William brings an âold sageâ vibe that everyone appreciates. Â I like every single moment with Kevin. Â Heâs just too entertaining, not to mention his little love triangle with AT&T girl and British Vixen is about to heat up. Â But letâs get back to my original concern. Â Tonightâs show. Â Iâm definitely concerned. The triplets, forgetting birthdays, this is normal stuff and I think weâll all feel comfortable with these plot points. Â However, Iâm a little worried about them getting into Dr. K too much. Â He was great in the premiere episode and I like his pseudo father figure tendencies with Jack. Â But at this point in the show they are becoming tired. Â Now weâre really going to get into an exploration of him? Â Iâm not sure itâs necessary. Â While I think the show will do it well, how much do we need to add to an already full roster of families?The firefighter who brought Randall to the hospital? Â I get it, I suppose but do we need to dedicate a lot of this airtime to this situation? Â Donât get me wrong. Â I love the show and have a feeling weâll all be fine tonight. Â However, whatâs already a risky show is in danger of getting overcrowded. Â Remember to go with what works guys. Â Weâre in love with the families you present and the lives they lead. Â Donât try to get us involved in other families either when youâre doing great now.Â
