Wrap-Up:
This was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad episode of Life In Pieces. I really can not say that enough. The first three stories were all absolutely terrible. I only found one thing in any of them to be even mildly amusing or entertaining. They were more irritating than they were funny. The first story was incredibly annoying and felt so pointless. The second one was even more annoying and pointless. But the pinnacle of terribleness in this episode was story three, which featured the recurring storyline from hell (Matt and Colleen's baby) and was also very dumb and awful. There was literally no redeeming quality to any of these stories, which each one of them somehow managing to be worse than the previous one. The third story was mediocre-at-best, but was still easily the episode's best. I actually laughed at it a few times, though I did get annoyed with John during it. Despite this, mediocre was more than enough to push it ahead of the other stories during this, the worst episode ever of Life In Pieces.
