So sad. Awaited the first show of the third season with anticipation, but was left disappointed and confused. What is being promoted as the Season 3 Premiere, is actually episode 3 of Season 3. I couldn't figure out why I remembered seeing shows with Dave Foley as the new owner. The first 2 episodes played last fall. So if you were running a TV network, would call episode 3 of the season, the season premiere?

In any case,the Season Premiere (aka episode 3), entitled Mean Girls, had next to nothing about the building and the various residents, except for Bobbi.

Most scenes take place away from RA: Bobbi's women's group meeting hall and a picnic. It could just have easily taken place anywhere, oh say, at some wacky prairie town. A view brief token scenes at the apartment with a lame story line of the new owner's wife telling another character to follow the new house rules, which ended up with him kissing her.

It was kind of funny at first, with Gavin Crawford in drag, but the dominating story descended into a cheesy sit-com plot that was far below the usual standards of previous seasons. I sure hope things improve!
