What About Brian: Moving Day
(S01E03) This is just a feel good show. I watch it and I feel good. Simple as that, no prescription required. Then of course, I wonder what's wrong with me... that a show about semi-consensual adultery, dishonest relationships, lying, sex, and dirty thoughts about your best friend's fiancée is something that eases my mind and puts a smile on my face.
Who am I kidding? These days, that makes me the norm. The status quo. The guy next door. Which means I'm just like you and you should be watching this show too. It's awfully enjoyable and it's going to be a crying shame if ABC gives it the boot because it lacks in the ratings department. Three episodes in and I can say with certainty that no one should be forgetting about Brian.
The title had a lot to do with this episode, and it extended beyond the fact that Marjorie is moving in with Adam. First off, why is she moving in with him? These two are blatantly not meant to be together and it's ridiculous how far the writers go to make that clear to us. She's supposed to be with Brian! The real tell was when she kept those obnoxious matching lamps that Brian got for her at a flea market by trading his shoes. Now that's love.
Oh, and here's a question. If Brian was friends with a couple of movers, why didn't they get used in the first place instead of the "ex-con movers" which Adam correctly identified as being right out of a porno flick?
OK, back to my original point. Everyone was "moving" in some way. Brian and Dave got a big break when their latest video game received a deal. Nic is moving forward with medical treatments to help her get pregnant (against Angelo's wishes too). Deena finally made a move with that divorced dad. She slept with him in the back of her mini-van in a supermarket parking lot. That's classy. Oh, and most importantly, it seems like Brian is going to make some effort to get over Marjorie (which will never happen) because he bumps into Lisa B. again. This time she says she'll call him which was surprising. What's going to happen when the other Lisa finds out?
I'm starting to understand the title a little more clearly though. We get so much good story about every character (Even Angelo... he auditioned to be the next Mr. Clean), that you're often left wondering, "What About Brian?"
