"The Big Day" (SPOILER ALERT)Ā The Pearson family captures our hearts week after week after week and we continue to wonder how they do it. Ā Itās because the show is āreal.ā Ā It explores real issues and yet does it in a way that adds the appropriate drama that a television show needs. Ā Yet at no point are you feeling like youāre about to say, āthis is just so unrealistic.ā Because in reality, almost everyone who has seen this show has seen the situations presented. Ā None are too far fetched and all of them hit us in one way or another. Ā Itās just so close to home that itās 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. Ā 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. Ā The show does a great job of explaining each character and backing up their emotional state with historical references. Ā You know why they are the way they are and who they are. Ā It all makes sense and you have to credit the writing and directing for that.Plus youāve got two side characters that are highly entertaining. Ā Toby brings us the comic relief and William brings an āold sageā vibe that everyone appreciates. Ā I like every single moment with Kevin. Ā Heās just too entertaining, not to mention his little love triangle with AT&T girl and British Vixen is about to heat up. Ā But letās get back to my original concern. Ā Tonightās show. Ā Iām definitely concerned. The triplets, forgetting birthdays, this is normal stuff and I think weāll all feel comfortable with these plot points. Ā However, Iām a little worried about them getting into Dr. K too much. Ā He was great in the premiere episode and I like his pseudo father figure tendencies with Jack. Ā But at this point in the show they are becoming tired. Ā Now weāre really going to get into an exploration of him? Ā Iām not sure itās necessary. Ā 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? Ā I get it, I suppose but do we need to dedicate a lot of this airtime to this situation? Ā Donāt get me wrong. Ā I love the show and have a feeling weāll all be fine tonight. Ā However, whatās already a risky show is in danger of getting overcrowded. Ā Remember to go with what works guys. Ā Weāre in love with the families you present and the lives they lead. Ā Donāt try to get us involved in other families either when youāre doing great now.Ā
