Except in the Pie-Lette, where the newscaster refers to them as ‘sisters’:
Easily explained away, of course.
Ahhh, Here’s how they can be sisters have the same last name as Chuck’s father and not be an insestuious relationship. They both were married to the same man at different times!
And because Couer d’ Couers reminds me of Couer d’Alene, I believe them to live in Idaho. I kind of doubt there exists any similarity beyond the spelling, but in my mind they live in Idaho.
Or they’re a bunch of damn polygamists!
Which appears to be perfectly legal and acceptable wherever they live.
Well, I’ll take the narrator’s word over that of a newcaster’s anyday!
You’re right- my apologies. That’s where Ned and Chuck lived, and the sisters (or whatever) live now. The Pie Hole is in, I believe, Lakeshore (or some similarly named place).
Loved it! My problem is that Ned apparently walked from the City to Couers d’Couers…even if it is a nearby town, that’s a long freakin’ walk.
Plus, didn’t Olive leave the apartment to deliver the pie before Ned and Emerson started their stakeout, and arrive at the Aunts’ door the next morning? So it took her all night to get there? Did SHE walk?
Oh, and yeah…the look on my face pretty much mirrored the look on Olive’s. THAT was a good final scene of (possibly) the season!
Is it just me or did Olive manage to make brushing your teeth look sexy?
Great episode. I’m amazed at how they veer successfully between comedy and tragedy.
Wow. Little did I know what I was getting into when I shut off the TV and went to get my son.
Grant Shaud hasn’t changed much from Murphy Brown, has he?
I thought Olive would suffer from ill effects from the “vanilla.”
She’s naturally so damn peppy and upbeat that she’d have to drink a gallon of the stuff before anything noticable happened.
Bosombosombosombosombosom…
The Chenowith can make anything look sexy. Check out her run in The West Wing.
She only tasted one drop before deciding it was “too weak” and dumping the entire bottle into the pie. Lily ate the whole pie (or did Vivian have a slice).
Lily ate the whole pie, Vivian is in training.
Probably a good thread to ost this to as we won’t have any new Episodes for a while.

We saw Atonement (ugh) yesterday, and were surprised to find Lee Pace sporting a 30s-style mustache and a British accent in the trailer for the comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (also with Frances McDormand and Amy Adams).
Also what is sniffy-guy going to do with the hair he took and almost took? Hair is dead.
And what’s in that homeopathic herbal stuff when a splash (face it - that was a small bottle) will leave you seeing mermaids? And this after it had been baked in a pie. I always worry that the heat will destroy the effectiveness . . . nah. The stuff has to be magic. Magic isn’t affected by anything except other magic.
I have to agree with Dinsdale in the end. The show is so stylized that I can’t really see anything as being completely real. So the insurance adjuster represented a complex multi-authority medical problem. I complain about it to my fellow watchers, because that is definitely no the way things work, but then I let it go.
Did you see those bee-hive cosies? Weren’t they cute? Bees are now kept in rectangular boxes, so that’s an anachronism. But the old-style rope hives are cute and the hive cosies are just adorable.
I think he wanted to analyze the hair.
Magic works as well as any other explanation. This show requires a large does of suspended disbelief, but it works.
The Bee Hives, the old cars, the lack of cell phones and computers, the Mermaid show and even the old neighborhood in the City to Couers d’Couers looks like it must butt up to the town in “Edward Scissorhands” all point to a setting that is out of time. This show does not take place in our world and makes little attempt to. I am still surprised they slipped and had a Hummer in the one episode. Everything else makes it nearly timeless.
I wonder who knitted the Bee Cosies? Could it have been the resident grouch?

It could be the next town over from the Central City of the 1990 Flash series. That had the same sort of mixture of old and new in it too.
