I've seen embarrassing hynopsis subplots in many sitcoms, but never as poorly executed as that. It didn't make sense within itself.
It was the fact such an old sitcom cliche was so freely used that baffled me. So many cliches used, this, the whacky life coach, the hearing the truth while in the lavvy, the other bird mistaking her relationship with mad dog woman. It seems like she's so busy with other work on the go that she hasn't had the time to do justice to the sitcom form, or even really, let's be honest, come up with her own material, so she's thrown all the cliches she can gather into a bag, shaken it up and poured out the contents for each episode, on the kitchen table, while she's eating toast and reading her latest panel show lines.
There was enough for a whole series there, Sue, slow down, that episode was nuts! And this is where I think she's possibly just given in to her comedy influences - Green Wing in particular, (it might as well be called Green Wing, The Vets) and then there was yet more of The Office type banter, sad face. She's going way too much for style and forgetting about building a coherent little story on its own each time. See TM's post. It was jump jump jump to next scene with no lineage. It was strangely entertaining, but not for the right reasons!
It's not all bad though as I like the title music. But still...
