Now...im no genius...and im FAR from an Alexyss K. Tyler...but ehhh, isnt Girlfriends a comedy? and for a show to be considered a comedy, it has to be...funny? it could have been just me, but wasnt Monday night's season premiere about as funny as a dog fight? I knew after Jill Marie Jones (Toni Childs) jumped ship that the show was goin to hell in a handbasket (say what you want, but Toni childs MADE that show, and provided some of the more memorable moments...case in point...lmao ERRRR! NOT AHHH! AHHH!! AHHH!! and were not EVEN gonna get into her ongoing thing about forgetting Jabari's name...GENIUS!)...But i figured after Jones left, the show would find some way to compensate for one of their major comedic roles being out of the picture by providing funnier situations for remaining girls could get into...Now i watched last season (on and off) to see what direction the girls were going in and to see how they adapted and grew..but Jumping the Shark damn near EVERY other episode was something i wasnt expecting....Like Joan finding Love, somewhat falling OUT, only to run into an old flame "Brock" who now coincidentally wants kids?(he didnt, which is the reason for their breaking up) please!!!!!...Or how about Maya becoming PREGNANT after her husband comes home from chasing his nascar dreams (that DIDNT work out)..Or Lynn finally finding herself as a musician (or whatever that shit is) and then working with BIGBOI...BUT losing love YET again...to a PREACHER at that!!!!( is it just me or is the show turning into Good Times without all the sassy James Evans one liners?..I mean, does something bad have to happen EVERY episode?)
ALL in all i think even if Jill Marie decides that baileys aint payin the big bucks anymore and comes back to the show, it just wont have that feeling it once did...all shows go through it...Martin (no tisha campbell? one monkey did kinda stop that show) and Living Single (who the fuck was trip and whos idea was it to make Sinclair and Overton smart?) comes to mind...but hopefully this season will have a few memorable moments as i feel this show is coming to an end soon...and if u cant go out with a bang...atleast go out with a pow
But this is just MY 2 cents...what did u guys think of it? or did u even watch?

ehhhh...huh?
Hey! I thought the episode was pretty good. It isn't as funny as it was when Toni was on, but Monica provides just enough sarcasm to almost make up for her absence. I think they've moved along nicely without Toni actually. I think with the way things ended with her, they could actually incorporate her back in with a little awkwardness, but I think it would smooth itself out.
Do you think she'll grace us with her presence again?
im certainly hoping so..i mean if they decide to take pity upon joan and give her ALITTLE happiness this season by actually going through with the wedding..i think that could be a great way toni could come back without the awkwardness, or atleast as much yanno...have it be a surpise to joan from mya or lynne or just do another episode revolving around the Lord again..Jesus never fails lol (remember the episode that brought toni and joan together before)
