Barry front and center but Erica shines
Fluke_Skywalker27 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Plot; Bev and Murray disagree over Barry's participation in a talent show while Pops tries to encourage Erica to perform.

Another Barry-centric episode that manages to sneak in a nice moment for often neglected Erica. Also features a funny guest appearance by Tim Meadows as a frazzled teacher.

It's about the heart, not the skills

I've gotta be honest, with that cold open, I'd expected a series of "The Karate Kid" jokes; y'know, maybe waxing on and off with an actual car). But that was restrained to a crane kick at the very end.

No, this is about Beverly's "mom goggles" vs. Murray's pleas to get her to accept the family' mediocrity . . . and their kids who want nothing to do with the talent show. If there's an MVP here, it's Tim Meadows as a worn-out high school teacher who couldn't give a rip about any of it.

There was a good deal of laughs in this one, and some great back-and- forth between the characters.

7/10

Barry was very funny here, and it's nice to see that finally they seem to be getting a handle on how to give the character of Erica something to do.

Very good overall.
