Yes We Can (#2.5)

I like the idea of how she had a day where she could do whatever she wants. What I didn't like was again the final message. That the ridiculous "rules" of society are somehow necessary. Is it really hard to see the difference between stealing someone's car for a day and simply having a male friend while in a relationship. Shame on Dr. Tom for suggesting it and shame on Erica for ending a friendship because of Ethan's insecurities. Just makes it look that in our world friendships don't matter. Although unfortunately this seems to be the case.

I liked how Erica's sister shut her up. Erica is a bit annoying in always telling other people how to live their life. She seems to become arrogant just because finally she has a job and a relationship that works

What in the hell happened to this series? The first season Erica was taken back in time to re-live and sometimes even change all of the regretted moments from her past. It was funny, compelling, poignant and evening moving at times. Now it's just another boring soap opera. It's all about making a relationship work; dealing with an abusive, controlling brother-in-law; handling her bitchy boss, ad nausea. Where is the "Regret List"? It was several pages long. Each episode was about her going back to that certain period in her life and reliving it. It was high school, summer camp, college. All of which we (the audience) have experienced and therefore related to. This gutting of a wonderful, fresh, original concept happens so often in television series. The ratings start to sag and the suites try to broaden the demographic. If you would like to see a parallel try "Chuck". The same damn thing happened. Well done, another great series ruined.
