Too many Harwoods

Rex Morgan, M.D., 9/17/25

I am really enjoying the quiet desperation of Yvonne's facial expression as she tries to convey to Rex and June how crazy-making her Hanks-Harwood-dominated living situation is. "He's always saying crap like this. 'I'm planning a Ritz Brothers marathon!' I don't know if those are the cracker guys or a vaudeville act that somehow has a YouTube. Maybe they aren't even real, but even if that were the case, it could be that he's doing a bit or it could be that he has advanced dementia and we can't even tell because all of his cultural references are so baffling. And he'll be asleep when we get back! I won't even be able to ask him about it! And tomorrow it'll be some other bullshit!"
