SCARY WARNING

This seemed like a warning coming from the scary family in the illustration. I didn't want to chance getting bit, so I instantly put my mask on. —LV

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Luis must have said a thousand times that he missed Toys 'R' Us after the stores closed, so the new store seemed like a good place to take Luis for his birthday. While the selection was limited—no aisles of WWE, Star Wars, and Marvel figures—it still felt like the wait to get in was worth the chance to interact with the new store model.

Happy birthday, Luis

Toys 'R' Us opened in Paramus, NJ, in November 2019, and Madeline decided the cross country course in the Bronx was close enough that the family should swing by on the way home after a meet. Betty posed with Baby Shark characters. —MV

BYE, ZOMBIE

This show did not need another season. The same as Modern Family, I watched the second to last season of iZombie thinking it was the last season. Then I watched the final season and wondered the whole time, Why? I took a year off between seasons so I was even more confused why it was back. Characters I was sure had died showed up. So many scenarios seemed to be invented just for the sake of giving characters a chance to perform special, unrelated talents. Then the real ending was stupid. *spoiler alert* Everyone is cured except people who wanted to become zombies because they had incurable illnesses? And now they live on a secret island? How are they getting brains now? They won't grow older or get jobs. What life is that? The highlight was Aly Michalka's character got drunk and sang terribly. —MV
