This season’s Christmas episode was a touching one as every member of the DiMeo family displays touching qualities. This episode kicks off in an unusual manner with Jimmy and Maya waking up and finding Dylan’s secret pet snake from two episodes ago in their bed. Dylan agrees to give away the snake if the family can get a dog. While

While I said the previous episode was an improvement, this episode was solid. It was solid as the family (including Kenneth) was split into their own subplots. JJ and Ray were in the A story. Maya, Jimmy and Dylan were in the B story. Kenneth and Dr Miller were in the C story. The A story revolved around JJ getting

This episode was an improvement over the previous two. This episode mainly focuses on JJ’s college tour of Danton College, an expensive college six hours away. However he isn’t really there to tour the college, he is there as he has a part in an American Pie-esque movie, Bikini University 3. When Dylan finds out about JJ’s plan, she threatens

Like the previous episode, this one wasn’t the best. This episode revolves around Thanksgiving in three different ways–Maya’s mother coming to dinner, Jimmy’s brother coming to dinner, and Kenneth’s father coming to dinner. Maya’s mother, Andrea (Holland Taylor) coming to dinner is the A story of this episode. To please her mother, Maya tries to be what her mother wants,

This episode wasn’t the best. The A story revolved around students, teachers and even lunch ladies at Lafayette High “shipping” JJ and Nora, the latter being a new student who also has cerebral palsy. The shipping is going on as the students, teachers and lunch ladies think that they will be the perfect couple as they both have the same

This episode was this year’s Halloween episode and departed from the usual DiMeo unique costuming and focused more on old candy giving almost each family member nightmares. The premise of the episode is established when JJ, Ray and Dylan search for the Halloween candy and find old candy in a duct, only for Jimmy and Maya to tell them that

This was another solid episode with complementary A, B and C stories, but this one was slightly better as it was more profound and touching. The A story of Maya and Kenneth training the staff Principal Miller can’t fire to be aides, is a follow-up from the second episode. At first the staff don’t care about becoming aides but behind

This episode was solid as it had A, B and C stories that complemented each other. The A story was Ray digging his own grave with Taylor as he felt the need to establish how much they have in common, by telling her he established a charity in JJ’s name. Throughout the episode, JJ tries to throw him under the

After kicking off the season with JJ coming home from camp, it’s only natural for this episode to revolve around the school year starting and what that means. The name of the episode comes from Maya’s declaration that it’s the First Second First Day of school–The first day of school, the second first day at the same school that the

The last season ended with JJ going off to camp, a camp for kids for disabilities, for the first time and what they meant for the family. In the Season 2 premiere, we see what this means. The episode kicks off in typical DiMeo style with Dylan insulting Ray about his relationship with Taylor in his sleep, only for him
