Dinner Takes All

[studioAT · 7/10 · 12 June 2023]

The always lovely Lauren Graham pops up here in a guest spot for the Thanksgiving themed episode.

This is the first time we've seen Ryan King contemplate moving on in terms of the romantic side of life, and about eight episodes in to the shows run you can see why the writers would want to start to explore dating stories. Perhaps it was also a sign that the powers at NBC were trying to broaden the show out a bit...

It's all perfectly fun and funny stuff, with Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry having great chemistry. It's big and broad with its humour one minute, and then very touching the next - which is what 'Go On' has been based on all the way through.

Matthew Perry's Ryan King though is a bit of an annoyance at times, and while he does soften by the end of an episode, he then reverts back to being a pain at the start of the next.

Other than that I am enjoying this show.

The group then decide to be the Brady bunch because there is enough people to complete the group. Ryan's friend Amy (Lauren Graham) puts on a song he does not like.

She stays at his house and they have to sleep in the same bed together. While Ryan try's to sleep Amy climbs all over him as he sleeps. Ryan asks Carrie to cook some Thanksgiving dinner which makes her angry. Anne notices straight away that Ryan must have another plan by bringing everyone to Thanksgiving with him. Ryan has to invite everyone he can for Thanksgiving even Owen's mom. When Amy gets to the dinner everyone asks her questions to see what she is like. Anne brings her kids and it turns out that they love Ryan's show. Ryan runs after Amyand Steven to try keep them from each other. Owen's mother puts Lauren on the spot to try see her skills. Lauren try's to offer Owen's mother some parenting advice and it does not go well. Steven takes Ryaninto the other room to see why he is keeping him away from Amy. Steven says no to Ryan's offer and the two have to come to a deal to see who asks Amy out. When Ryan and Steven leave they get drinks to win the chance to ask out Amy. Ryan wins the drinking game but falls after. Owen ends up standing up to his mom and she seems OK with it. Ryan tells Amy that they were fighting over him and she says no to his offer. She tells him that she is not going to be the first women after Jane. Funny episode and Lauren was great, I hope she comes back to the show again.

EPISODE GRADE: B (MVP: Lauren Graham)
