Author: codebreaker    Time: 8-2-2011 14:10     Subject: Suburgatory Season 1-3 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Suburgatory Premiered on ABC on September 28, 2011



Single father George only wants the best for his 16-year-old daughter, Tessa. So when he finds a box of condoms on her nightstand, he moves them out of their apartment in New York City to a house in the suburbs. But all Tessa sees is the horror of over-manicured lawns and plastic Franken-moms. Being in the 'burbs can be hell, but it also may just bring Tessa and George closer than they've ever been.

Tessa (Jane Levy) and George (Jeremy Sisto) have been on their own ever since Tessa's mom pulled a "Kramer vs. Kramer" before she was even potty trained. So far, George has done a pretty good job of raising Tessa without a maternal figure in their lives, but suddenly he's feeling a little out of his league. So it's goodbye New York City and hello suburbs. At first Tessa is horrified by the big-haired, fake-boobed mothers and their sugar-free Red Bull-chugging kids. But little by little she and her dad begin finding a way to survive on the clean streets of the 'burbs. Sure, the neighbors might smother you with love while their kids stare daggers at your back, but underneath all that plastic and caffeine, they're really not half bad. And they do make a tasty pot roast.

What a strange coincidence that Tessa was lumbered with Dalia while her dad was with Dalia's mother but the sports bra did nothing for her figure

Well the fact everyone thought she was gay was amusing but seriously where can they go with this show?
Author: bala    Time: 10-8-2011 08:32     Subject: The barbecue

Well getting kissed by a guy she hated was amusing BUT KISSING the geek was funny.

If neighbour don't look after neighbour they will have little neighbour was great line.

Those question she asked Ryan were amusing but dad questioning her was great.

You just knew Barbecue would be problematic but running out propane was ridiculous.

What a poser Ryan was when he was washing the car but Tessa using Evan was cruel but i don't suppose he's complaining and you cant blame George for thinking those guy's were gay

How embarrassing having the teacher putting the mike in your face while you are eating and who took the dolls was obvious
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-30-2011 09:22     Subject: 1x05 Halloween

George being determined to prove to Halloween-hater Dallas that being scared can be fun was amusing but Dallas trying to get her own back was great

With Dalia planing the ultimate birthday extravaganza it was bound to be not too her liking but she did get to see her band and George throwing his back out was amusing with all the attention from the women, the photo of the girls with the stained teeth was priceless
Author: codebreaker    Time: 11-30-2011 02:32     Subject: 1x08 Thanksgiving

Lisa refusing to wear the special dress Sheila picked out for her was amusing but what she did after was priceless and what a small world when Tessa convinced Dallas to take her to the city only to come across George making out with a woman
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-11-2011 15:01     Subject: 1x09 The Nutcracker

When George broke up with his girlfriend, Zoe he shouldn't of used Tessa as an excuse because when Tessa overheard she decides that she's going to get them back together which wasn't what he wanted when he had his eye on Tessa's cute art teacher, Aimee but the kiss from Dallas was the last straw for Aimee
Author: bala    Time: 12-11-2011 23:29     Subject: Reply 25#25 codebreaker's post

Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-5-2012 08:15     Subject: Reply 27#27 bala's post

Dallas must of cursed Dalia with her comment about drive or die trying with the state of her instructor but Dalia paying that much to have Tessa drive for her could of been lucrative and you should never fight in a sauna

So glad they pixel it
Author: bala    Time: 1-12-2012 07:59     Subject: Out in the Burbs

Thinking the undercover cop was gay was rather amusing but getting it right with high school principle was rather amusing how he came out.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-13-2012 10:55     Subject: Reply 30#30 bala's post

How ironic that Lisa fancied Josh who was an undercover cop after her brother but Lisa thinking she can turn him was amusing and i thought the 3 D paper weights were great

Yeah who would thought she be smart enough to create something quite artistic
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-22-2012 04:39     Subject: 1x12 The Casino Trip

I can't believe Dalia told George about Tessa's being at home with her boyfriend but even worse that he asked her to check up on her and Fred trying to cope with his gambling problem was interesting
Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-12-2012 10:28     Subject: 1x13 Sex and the Suburbs

George was acting creepy around Tessa's friends and the conversation was age inappropriate and Jocelyn was a little man hungry but Dallas acrobatics was impressive
Author: codebreaker    Time: 2-22-2012 13:48     Subject: 1x14 The Body

All because Tessa realizes that she's failing gym class so she decides to run for student body president in hopes of changing it to an elective would of been interesting but you just knew she would drop out and the way Ryan got out of the wheelchair after his sports injury was corny
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-4-2012 17:37     Subject: 1x15 Fire with Fire

Dalia befriending Lisa to get back at Tessa was cruel but Lisa should of known better and Jill's marriage to Noah going on the rocks because of a broken shower was interesting but the white horse to win her back was a nice touch
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-5-2012 00:07     Subject: 1x16 Poetic Injustice

Trust Fred to tell  George that Sheila is fantasizing about him after reading her diary especially when it was another George off TV and why Tessa desperately wants to impress the new poetry teacher was a mystery
Author: bala    Time: 3-18-2012 11:05     Subject: Reply 37#37 codebreaker's post

Yeah it was a mystery but she thought she was cool and wanted her to like her but Darlia had a point about not trying too hard

I was impressed that George had the patients when Dallas was depressed in the bed shop and all because her divorce was finalized
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-27-2012 09:58     Subject: 1x19 Entering Eden

The doctor trying to spoil Eden and George's kiss was amusing but her being Jill and Noah's surrogate was awkward, Dalia and her friends trying to brain storm in the bathroom was a waste of time, I did like the dog chase but why did they stole their bags of dog cloths

You would of thought that when Tessa learnt what life would be like as a football player's girlfriend she would of run a mile but making the other girls see the light was a better idea

I thought Tessa over sold herself at the college interview and obviously Dalia didn't try hard enough as she failed to get into the only college she applied to but finding a sugar daddy in a wheelchair was surprising, George forcing Tessa to go on a double date was priceless as the hot mother didn't like George while Tessa didn't like her son at first
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-21-2014 01:20     Subject: 3x12 Les Lucioles

Tessa taking over planning Lisa and Malik's wedding was made harder when Malik's parents cut him off so she was struggling with the limited budget but George talking Malik's parents around was nice
