What a horrible episode


Great I thought we will get a nice Thanksgiving football match with the team but that turns out not so nice because Tani goes and ruins and spoils the match with her ultracompetitive and nastiness and Rudeness to Mano and Steve not funny at all they are making Tani not a very nice person at all plus she dose not trust Steve.

How I miss Chin and Kono who were just as bad Ass but were never nasty or rude to Steve and his friends

How stupid did Adam look taking down the bad guy where last season he was always getting into trouble. They are try to make him look like Steve.

I did not like the stupid story line with the Grover family I am fed up with all the arguments in the family

We had a stupid crime story as well

The only two things I'll say about this episode (besides that it's definitely not on my 'seasons best' list) is that it was nice to see that Al Harrington (Mamo) has lost some weight. In early seasons he was heavier and because we saw him in the original 5-O when he wasn't nearly that heavy, it was concerning that he'd put on so much weight. He looked good. And the second thing is that it sounds like Grover's brother, at least will be sticking around after Kamekona said, "You're hired." I hope, if we do see him again, the relationship is more cordial than it was in this episode. It was kinda strange that they're rolling on the ground fighting over Percy jr. resetting the temp on the oven and then Dad comes along and confesses that he did it because he thought the turkey wasn't cooking fast enough (I'm presuming he has x-ray vision) and all of a sudden Lou and Percy are hugging and crying and everything's alright. I get that Chi wanted to write a Grover family story but I think the talents of his family guest stars were wasted.

Not a god episode. Way too much time pent on Grover's family...and now it appears Percy is going to be added to the cast. The crime of the week was sort of meh. And with Adam and Jerry doing all the leg work on it, along with Junior and Tani--it seems they might be setting up the cast for season 10-- if there is one.
