Welcome back, everyone! We hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. It's been a couple of weeks since we saw this crew, and all of their problems were solved during the break! Just kidding, they're a mess as this week's episode of A Million Little Things touches on the anguish people sometimes face when they feel helpless to stop the loss of a loved one. Let's discuss... Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: We start with Maggie pretty clearly dreaming as she's facing a plane crash with a guy named "Chad," who's drinking while he's flying the aircraft. The Cure's "Lovesong" plays in... Read more →

This week's episode of A Million Little Things is focused on the group overcoming their fears and living in the moment. We enjoyed the material but were frustrated by the format. Grab a coffee, and let's discuss... Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: Following up on last week's review, this series is in fact bathed in a blue color scheme. The walls, the beds, the clothes, the general lighting? All blue-ish. The Internets tell us that blue signifies: trust, loyalty, depth, stability, truth, heaven and a calming effect (among other things), which all seem in line with the spirit of the show....

First, a bit of good news that ABC has decided to give A Million Little Things a full season. Looks like we're all going to be hanging out together for a few more months. Excellent! Now, this week's episode sees secrets being revealed and new secrets popping up in this group like weeds, as the show cops out on a crucial moment. Grab a coffee, and let's discuss. Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: "Game Night" at Rome and Regina's house seems to have a double meaning, since we've got board games and the games being played out over Delilah's pregnancy. According... Read more →

Before we get into this week's episode, let's say cheers to the fact that ABC ordered three more scripts for A Million Little Things this week. With any luck, an order for a full season will follow. Now, our group of friends is working through the issues and secrets that they were hit with right out of the gate. This week gives Katherine the spotlight while the other stories advance at a reasonable speed. Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: We find out that Gary has a dog, which immediately makes him the frontrunner for our favorite character. This week's episode is... Read more →

Hi everyone, Welcome back! Come on in, have a seat. We were just looking at the weather forecast. It calls for rain this afternoon, which is fine (although it better be done before Game 1 of the World Series starts), but we're also seeing a chance of snow this weekend. Yikes. Fortunately, it won't last long even if it does arrive, because the highs are supposed to be in the 50's during parts of next week. Still, I better put the shovel back in the car. In any case, let's see what's going on in the world today. The guys... Read more →

The latest episode of A Million Little Things slows down a step, as the group continues to deal with Jon's death and Gary and Delilah's affair, while some of the members handle their own secrets. Let's discuss... Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: The already large ensemble adds Gerald McRaney to its ranks this week as Delilah's father Lenny who is struggling with dementia. We'll never say no to this grizzled veteran. Through flashbacks, we see Jon "handling" Lenny by quizzing him about how Jon and Delilah met, and also sternly telling Lenny not to give Gary a drink. It's our first... Read more →

A Million Little Things threw a lot of secrets into the mix in the first two episodes, and now a big one has already become public knowledge, as Eddie and Delilah's affair is revealed. We're still in the immediate aftermath of Jon's suicide, so it's safe to say this group of friends is having a really bad stretch. How will they move forward from here? Warning: Spoilers ahead Observations: We sympathize with everyone who sees the alert about Gary's birthday party on their phones. It's a simple but devastating reminder of the loss they've just suffered. It's nice to see... Read more →

A Million Little Things dropped a lot on its viewers during the series premiere last week. We learned about a suicide, another suicide attempt, infidelity, and two breast cancer battles. The question now becomes, where do we go from here? Let's discuss episode 2, "Band of Dads." Warning: Spoilers Ahead Observations: First off, a quick thank you to the show's producers for not asking anyone in the cast to try a Boston accent. That never goes well, and it also turns out that a lot of people who live here don't sound like Mark Wahlberg. The use of the song,... Read more →

We've been waiting for the debut of ABC's, A Million Little Things, for months, and it finally premiered on September 26. The concept of what it means to survive a loved one's suicide hits close to home, and it's an important topic which should be discussed. It also seemed clear that there would be more to this ensemble's story, and we were curious to see how that played out. We've always been big fans of Ron Livingston and Romany Malco and wanted to see if James Roday could strike the balance between drama and comedy. Not sure if we wil... Read more →
