I dunno . . . I’m really starting to feel as if watching this show is becoming a chore. Where can they possibly take the plot arc? I am less and less sympathetic with the character of Nancy and was actually upset by Celia being abused in jail.
They did get the “waiting in line to cross at TJ” dead-on, though.
“Is that alcohol, mam?” “No, it’s my urine.”
Was Nancy ever really sympathetic? I think we all have a certain tolerance for the lifestyle she chose, but she has shown us from the beginning that she’s capable of crossing lines, and she’s crossed more lines than most people are willing to accept. I don’t need her to be sympathetic, just funny.
It’s true that the show has grown to a point where it’s certainly not the same as it was, but I still find the current arc funnier than last season’s U-Turn arc. If I have a complaint so far, it’s that we need more Kevin Nealon.
I also thought Celia’s makeover was fantastic.
