Me, Myself & I Series Finale Review

I haven't reviewed any of Me, Myself & I's July burnoff episodes, but I have decided to review it one last time for its series finale. Throughout its short life of just 13 episodes, MM&I has been thoroughly entertaining, and it was one of my favorite broadcast shows of the past TV season. I'm upset that we didn't get more time with it, but I'm grateful for what we did get. I'm really going to miss it, but at least there's one more episode left. Without further ado, my review of the series finale of Me, Myself & I.

In 1991, Alex tries to ask Nori out to the winter formal, but he's beat to the punch. Alex's lab partner Julia desperately wants Alex to ask her to the dance, but Alex doesn't get the hint. This gives Justin a plan to make Nori jealous, and Alex asks Julia out. At the winter formal, Alex and Julia dance with each other and seemingly have a fun time. Justin talks to Alex about the plan, and another boy that likes Julia overhears him. He tells Julia, and she tells him off. Nori gives him a pep talk the next day, and he decides to go after Julia one last time. He gives her the winter experience she's missed since she moves to California.

In 2017, Sarah shows up for Abby's birthday, much to the displeasure of everybody. Then, the magician calls to cancel, so Ron is left to entertain the kids. Fortunately, Alex steps in quickly, before Ron can put the kids to sleep with his stories. Unfortunately, Alex does not know magic. Later, Sarah tells Alex that she wants to get back together, which almost gives Maggie a heart attack. He talks to Darryl about this, but Darryl is very disappointed in Alex when he tells him that he agreed to go out for dinner with her. He doesn't want to get back together, but he wants to improve their relationship for Abby's sake. At the dinner, Alex unexpectedly has a good time and he and Sarah kiss. The next day, Sarah's ex Jeremy shows up and professes his love for her. As Sarah tells Jeremy why their relationship won't ever work, Alex tells Sarah the same thing about their relationship. Later on, Alex finally moves out of Darryl's and into his own place.

In 2042, Kelly tells Alex that they're going on a double date with Eleanor and Richard. The dinner turns super awkward when Richard announces that they're moving to Montana. After dinner, Kelly yells at Alex for being in love with Eleanor, he admits it, and they break up. Abby tells Alex to tell Eleanor how he feels one last time. He goes to the diner and tells her that he wants her to be happy, and tells her to do whatever it is that makes her happy. He also tells her that this will be the last time they see each other. After Eleanor walks out of the diner, she realizes her feelings for Alex and she runs back inside, where they kiss.

Wrap-Up:
Me, Myself & I certainly closed out on a high note. I would go as far as to say that this was the show's best episode yet, serving as a great series ender. Everything was done very well, with some hilarious moments as well as some deeply touching ones. My personal favorite story this week was 2042, because it was what the show has been leading up to the whole time. Alex and Eleanor finally getting together was a spectacular (though not unexpected) way to end the show. While I would have loved to see the continued adventures of Alex Riley, I'm honestly okay with saying goodbye here. Farewell Alex, Eleanor, Darryl, Ron, Justin, and the entire MM&I cast. I will most certainly miss you.

Me, Myself & I Season 1 Episode 3 Review

This week's Me, Myself & I focuses on the birthday of Alex, Alex, and Alex. Let's hope it goes well for all of them.

1991 Alex is given a signed Michael Jordan rookie card by Ron for his birthday, and upon seeing Nori at school, he immediately offers it to her for her father. She's thrilled, but Young Alex immediately realizes he's made a huge mistake. He realizes this even further when Ron shows him a new display case he got for the card. He and Justin have a plan though. Justin will forge a signature on a new card, and they'll swap it out at Nori's. They set their plan in action, and they head to the Sterling home. They make an excuse up to get inside, and quickly swap it out. They don't have long though, since Nori's dad is on his way. Their mission is a successful one though, and they get the real card back.

2017 Alex celebrates his birthday with Abby by shooting hoops at the arcade. Soon, however, he ends up making a promise to her that he simply couldn't make: he tells her she can go glamping with some friends. It's really expensive, and he doesn't have any money. He doesn't know what to do, and unfortunately he settles on selling his Michael Jordan card. He tells Ron this, and Ron is proud that Alex took something that was meant to give a young Alex joy and used it to give his young daughter joy. He's just happy to always have the video of young Alex receiving the card, as that's what brings him joy.

2042 Alex wakes up on his birthday to the news that Abby will not be taking part in their usual  birthday hoop ritual because she's busy at work. He's upset by this, but soon enough, he comes to terms with it. He goes to the arcade to play hoops by himself, and he is soon greeted by Abby. She was working, but not on her job. She got Alex a gift: a signed Michael Jordan rookie card. She also brings California Governor Justin in, and he is also very happy about the card.

This was an amazing episode. It was easily the best so far, and it was really sweet. The three storylines worked better tonight than they ever had, and I'm really growing attached to this show. The leads all do a great job on the show, and I really was tearing up at the end. Also, Happy Birthday Alex!

Me, Myself, & I Series Premiere Review

Me, Myself, & I was one of my most anticipated new comedies of the Fall season. I'm a huge fan of Bobby Moynihan, and the show has an intriguing premise that had me interested even before Moynihan joined the show. Add John Larroquette and Jaleel White to the mix and you've got a really great cast. I'm hoping the show can be as good as I'm expecting it to be, and that it'll be worth the wait.

In 1991, Alex Riley's Mom gets engaged to a pilot, which means he has to move to LA. He is woken by his soon-to-be stepbrother Justin, who is calling him little bro, which annoys him. At breakfast, the table wobbles and Alex shows the family his invention, an adjustable table wedge. His stepfather tells him that one day, he may actually be a famous inventor. Later that day, Justin and him are talking when Alex sees Nori, who he pretty much falls in love with. She speaks to Alex, and she drops her lip balm. Alex uses the Extend-o-Grab 5000 to retrieve it, and she officially introduces herself to him. At dinner, Alex sees Nori again and she waves at him. Justin says that Nori's into Alex, and he suggests that Alex asks kisses her at the dance. At the dance, Nori and Alex say hello to each other. Justin tries to convince him to ask her to dance, but Nori asks Alex before he gets the chance to ask her. While they're slow-dancing, Justin gives him a mint and tries to convince Alex to kiss Nori. This lead to a big problem, because Alex chokes on the mint and it lands in Nori's mouth. Because of this ordeal, Alex is labeled Chokey and is ridiculed. Alex goes home, and Ton gives him a pep talk, which involves Alex's hero Michael Jordan. He reminds him that everyone misses shots every once in while, even the greatest of basketball players. Alex decides to totally avoid Nori.

In 2017, Alex comes home to discover that his wife is having an affair with a paramedic. He responds to this by running outside and throwing a rock at the ambulance's windshield. It may not be the most responsible thing to do, but the response is understandable. Later on, he is pitching the "Switchfork" to a group of investors, and they aren't having it. His friend Darryl is giving him some tough love, because his company isn't doing well (at all), and he needs help. Alex is driving with his daughter Abby, and he hears a song that "reminds him of a girl" (aka Nori). His daughter asks if he's talking about her mom Sarah, and he responds that her Sarah's song is Psycho Killer. When they arrive at the house, Alex sees a For Sale sign. Sarah tells her that her boyfriend is moving to San Francisco , and that she'll be leaving with him. Alex is upset that she's leaving Abby behind, but that isn't her plan She wants to take Abby with her. They get in an argument over it, and she says that he'll never be able to take care of Abby if he can't take care of himself. He says that he just needs one idea to turn everything around. Alex is really struggling to think of an idea, and he tries everything to get some ideas flowing. Alex goes to see Ron, and Ron gives him an idea when he purposely drops his fork.

In 2042, Alex has a heart attack opening the New York Stock Exchange. He survives, and is released from the hospital. Alex's assistant Jasmine gives him a gift from Darryl, and they walk into the company, where they're having a welcome back party for Alex. Alex announces his plans to retire immediately, which surprises everyone. Abby takes Alex to eat, and when checking out, Alex sees Nori. They start talking over some food, and while he leaves initially, he heads back in and gives her a kiss.

I really enjoyed that Pilot! It was so heartwarming and funny, and I loved the three different timelines. While we didn't get to see much of the 2042 timeline, I absolutely loved the ending, and it's nice to know that, despite some rough patches for Alex in the earlier timelines, things do get better. It could be funnier at times, but I still really enjoyed it. I think this is going to be a really great show. And remember guys, Keep Shooting.
