In the X-Mas episode where you see young Mrs. Mac it was a little heartwrenching to see her so full of life and energy. Raising Mac just totally blew her out.

Meh, I'd think being married to a drug dealer who eats people might have had more to do with it.

Besides, she's pretty happy after she moves in with Bonnie.

Mac and Charlie's mom's are really good for each other. The gang forcing them to move in together might just be the only legitimately nice thing they've ever done, even though they only did it for selfish reasons.

I'm extremely excited for tomorrow's episode. I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential in juxtaposing Mac and Dennis against the banality of the suburbs. It could go either way though, if it's just a bunch of "lol the suburbs are lame!" jokes then meh, but if they either get engulfed in the suburb mentality or become the rare instance where they are the straight man to crazy neighbors then it could be great.

To go along with that, I really enjoy the moment in The Gang Squashes Their Beef after Bill Ponderosa enters.

What a piece of poo poo that guy is.
Yeah, he's a real piece of poo poo, yeah.

Even the Gang recognizes that not giving a poo poo about your children is kind of a dick move.

Connie is death process
Legally they can't ask child actors to swear so their script would say something like:

"we call him mystique orc sucker because he's ups so many clocks"

Then they have them say the line so many times that they can edit the audio to say it "properly".

I did a bit of googling, it doesn't seem like there's an actual Law set in stone preventing Child Actors from swearing or being around swearing, but having "safe" version of the script for them to use is also common. It's probably just something that's informally become part of working with child actors.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that those child actors are kids related to the cast, children of close friends in the industry, etc. and don't need to be as tiptoed around I sincerely doubt most parents would let their kids audition for a role on this show after watching any one episode from the preceding seasons.

It really depends on the parents of the actors. They might have regulations like the parents have to be on the set or other things to protect them, but with their permission it should not be an issue.

It was either Nathan Fielder or Rob McEllheney who said it (or maybe even both, can't remember), but don't EVER underestimate the parents of child actors. The majority if them (or maybe it's just a notorious few at any given time) will let their kids do virtually anything if it involves them getting paid. I really wish I could source the article or video or whatever where I read that, but if you watch this show, or especially if you watch Nathan For You, it becomes pretty obvious. At times, it seems like the idea was to find a parent who wouldn't let them do something they wanted to do on the show, and without fail, they've never had trouble finding a parent to agree to it.

Didn't you have friends growing up who had "cool" parents? Multiply that by several order of magnitude then add a 4 figure paycheck into the mix. Now is it really so hard to believe these kids say/do the things the show asks of them?

Actually, it's not normally that the parents are "cool" so much as "crazy" and/or "completely willing to exploit".

I believe Glenn Howerton relates an anecdote like this on the "Pop-Pop: The Final Solution" episode DVD audio Commentary. There is a scene of children goosestepping, and shouting Seig Heil while giving the Nazi Salute. Glenn points out that the adults sitting on risers behind the children are the stage parents who appartently had no qualms whatsoever making their kids into TV Nazis. Further, he says he had prepared an explanation and defense for the sequence to give to any concerned parent. And of course he would completely understand if anyone was still uncomfortable.
In the end not a single parent expressed any misgivings.

Even if there were a law, the gang's plucky Bird Law lawyer would handle that poo poo with ease.

an episode about Frank wanting to take everyone on a vacation, because the gang is stagnating. They spend the entire episode arguing about which country they should visit, and have very unrealistic expectations about them

in the end, frank cancels the tickets because he's on the no-fly list (and they're onto his "mantis toboggan" alias)
