If Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage had to revisit the Meemaw gambling story, this was the way to do it.<\/p>\n

Meemaw is a funny, dynamic character that deserves more than constantly running into trouble with her illegal casino, but Jim owing her money was comedy gold.<\/p>\n

Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/a> Season 1 Episode 19 turned the tables by having Jim be the one in debt instead of the one demanding money from Mandy, and it led to some funny moments.<\/p>\n

I Was So Thankful Mandy Called Jim Out On His Hypocrisy<\/h2>\n

The punchline in Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 19 was obvious, but I still appreciated it.<\/p>\n

Jim\u2019s obnoxious behavior on Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 18<\/a> centered around his anger that Mandy dared spend her money on herself instead of paying him rent.<\/p>\n

He went on and on about how she needed to show her appreciation to him by paying him something toward household expenses \u2014 but all the while, he owed Meemaw $1,200.<\/p>\n

It would have been ridiculous for Mandy to not point out the hypocrisy, especially when Jim was spending money on the side that no one knew about.<\/p>\n

Maybe if he hadn\u2019t wasted $1200 on bets, he wouldn\u2019t be so desperate for Mandy\u2019s money to make up the difference. Just saying.<\/p>\n

Audrey\u2019s Confrontation With Meemaw Was The Best Part of Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 19<\/h2>\n

I never imagined when Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1<\/a> began that I\u2019d ever have anything good to say about Audrey.<\/p>\n

She used to grate on every one of my nerves, with her snootiness and her belief that Georgie wasn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n

However, I was cheering her on when she confronted Meemaw this time. She was strong, firm, and funny.<\/p>\n

\n

Audrey: We\u2019re not paying you.<\/p>\n

Meemaw: Jim made a bet and he lost!<\/p>\n

Audrey: You made a bet too. You bet Jim would pay you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m still laughing at the way she tried to turn that gambling situation around to get out of owing Meemaw money.<\/p>\n

Of course, that didn\u2019t mean that Jim was off the hook with Audrey, which was exactly as it should be.<\/p>\n

Audrey was right that lying about it was worse than the gambling, which she thinks is a waste of money.<\/p>\n

The more this show goes on, the more I adore Jim and Audrey\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n

They fight a lot, but they always make up, and in the end their communication wrinkles always get straightened out.<\/p>\n

Audrey knows when to pick her battles and when to confront Jim about his nonsense, and when she decides she\u2019s not putting up with something, she can\u2019t be talked out of it.<\/p>\n

Dale\u2019s Inclusion Was A Bonus<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve followed my reviews for a while, you know I enjoy Dale.<\/p>\n

He never has a big role, but whatever he has to say is always hilarious, and this was no exception.<\/p>\n

\n

Love this show? We do too \u2014 and we want to keep writing about it.
<\/strong>Your comment or share can help make sure we get to. That\u2019s the magic of supporting indie media.<\/p>\n

\n

Meemaw and Dale bicker the way people who know each other really well do, and Annie Potts and Craig T Nelson are some of the best actors in the comedy business.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the reasons I never complain too hard about Meemaw-centered episodes, even when the plot leaves something to be desired \u2014 no Meemaw means no Dale.<\/p>\n

Why I Was Surprised I Liked This Story So Much<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m often disappointed that Meemaw\u2019s only story is this gambling ring nonsense.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t a fan of her storyline on Young Sheldon Season 7<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meemaw doesn\u2019t just have to be the grandmother who gives her grandkids advice (which mostly falls on deaf ears, anyway.). <\/p>\n

However, she had an engaging story \u2014 her house being destroyed by the storm and her losing all the money she had hidden in the raisin bran.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t need to be resolved with a season long story in which she roped Georgie into her illegal gambling business, got arrested, and continued to secretly run a gambling ring while on probation.<\/p>\n

Those stories were silly and didn\u2019t do her character any favors, so I was annoyed they got dragged into Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the first go-round with Meemaw and her gambling on Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage Season 1 Episode 14 was not a great story for her (even if it was funny).<\/p>\n

I had hoped this gambling story would go away altogether after that, but unfortunately, it persisted.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tough thing for me as a reviewer because I don\u2019t like the story, yet can\u2019t deny that the episodes involving it are among the show\u2019s most entertaining.<\/p>\n
