BETTER WITH YOU “Better With a Shamrock” Review

BETTER WITH YOU “Better With a Shamrock” Episode 15 – This week’s episode of Better With You centered around Ben’s quest for a shamrock on a local bar wall of fame and Maddie and Mia fighting over attending a charity event with Vicki that neither of them originally wanted to attend.

Ben always has to find a way to try to be cool. That might very well make him uncool, but it does provide us with entertainment. Perhaps it is because I can relate to being called the wrong name by someone and then finally giving up on correcting them that I thought the entire bar yelling “Ted” when Ben walked in, was funny. What was Ben going to do once he received the shamrock if it said “Ted” on it? Luckily that problem was resolved when his arch nemesis, Nick Swisher from the New York Yankees, bought the bar. I loved the tie in from last week’s story about the unlucky leather jacket. It was also great that Swisher mistook Ben for a gay car salesman and that Ben was ready to have his shamrock read Bruce Coles just to get one. Anything for a paper design on a bar wall.

I just cannot get enough of Vicki. Who else would think causes such as helping the homless learn flower arranging (Skid Roses) or helping former gang members learn how to bake cupcakes (Bake Back the Night) would be a good idea? And who else would choose the daughter that she is able to drink with over the one carrying her grandchild? That would be Vicki. Naturally the girls do not care about the expose on their mother’s charity because of the really cool gift bag. Sometimes it is like they are stuck at the age of 12.

Overall I thought this was a good episode. Some of my favorite moments include:

Maddie and Mia’s “language” which is just gibberish sounds.

Joel’s second lifelong dream is to cut Hillary Clinton’s hair.

Vicki and Joel leaving the pizza guy knocking at their door for 12 minutes in order to get their pizza for free.

Maddie and Mia’s breath holding contest to settle arguments, but that only results in their passing out.
