I wanted to order a used book for Christmas reading.... is the book worth getting?
and remembered how much I miss this show ;(
the entire cast was so charming and the humor was always balanced out with a lot of heart.
So I don't know how active this subreddit is, and I know this show is over technically, but I just finished watching both seasons and I wasn't that satisfied with the ending so I thought up a better one. I have to share it with someone.
So, here is how it would continue.....
In the next season, Fiona is actually a pretty successful dula and Will's case has gone all the way to court. Laurie is exhausted from being a new mother and one night she sees one of her children singing runaway sleigh to the new baby. On the last day of litigation, she argues that the lyrics actually belong to the children and listeners who enjoy it. The judge splits the royalties 80 to 20 in Will's favor, but Will's side agrees to donate 90% of his 80 to Toys for Tots each year, so in the end, the crazy ex gets more money anyway. Marcus freaks out because Shea isn't replying to his texts so he goes over to her place and finds out the place is a mess and she doesn't eat proper dinners and he freaks out but promises not to tell anyone. Her mother is home and being really mean to Shea. Then, one of the couples Fiona is dula-ing gets a divorce and blame her, so she loses her license. One of the nurses at the hospital tells Fiona that she would make a good nurse and that dula-ing is too unstable anyway. Will finds out his Love Bubble song isn't going to be recorded anymore due to budget cuts.
Marcus's dad dies in some freak penguin feeding accident. Mr. Chris (who is now played by Stanley Tucci) comes by for the funeral to give his condolences, and he misses Fiona, and mentions to Will he wants to end his contract early and come back maybe. Fiona has money from Marcus's dad's will and Chris encourages her to pursue nursing school. While in grief, Marcus lets it slip that Shea's mother is hurting her, and they contact authorities. Child services take away Shea and she hates Marcus. As Marcus is sitting alone in his treehouse, Will watches from the window and writes a new, sad song called "About a Boy."
Fiona is in nursing school. She argues with one of her peers about how the material is too scientific and he calls her annoying and overly spiritual, and then they sleep together. Will likes a girl named DW but she likes to wait for the right moment until sex so Will chases after her. Right before he gets her, Will finds out DW is TJ's sister (I love TJ had to bring him back) and so it all ends. The next morning Will goes to buy bagels he can't afford to make himself feel better but the bagel shop employee quits in the middle and so Will and Andy take over the shop for the day. Shea's distant aunt finds out about her situation and offers for her to come stay with her in LA. It turns out she is a recording artist and is really pretty. She comes to visit and is really nice to Shea. She agrees to go and Shea's aunt decides to take a look at Will's About a Boy song. Later, Shea tells Will and Marcus this is the best thing that could have happened to her, and she will finally be living a safe life, and thanks them and says she's forever indebted. Marcus lets her go.
Fiona is dating that nursing school boy and he is really similar to Will and that makes him jealous. Marcus finds out from Shea's letters that One Direction wants his song and gets really excited. Will freaks out and goes down to LA to negotiate that the song go to someone else. John Mayer guest stars.
Mr. Chris comes back, and Fiona must choose between him and nursing school boy. She and Will lay together in the backyard looking at the stars. Will says he loves Fiona and Fiona says she loves him, but it is a brotherly sisterly love of friendship. Marcus comes out and hugs them. Will decides to release his song independently. He skypes with Dr Sam and she sends the song to some of her New York friends and it gets popular when someone famous tweets it. Will ends up taking a job at the bagel shop. Fiona picks Mr. Chris. Marcus graduates middle school as valedictorian in some silly ceremony.
The end, someone hire me now.
I love this show. Just finished season 2.
is there a season 3 coming that anyone knows about??
I just started watching this series and it's been amazing. I've also decided that I need to own that sweater. Does anyone know where I might be able to find patterns or the graphics for that shirt?
Summary: Fiona begs Dakota to join her date with Mr. Chris; Will tags along as he tries to woo Dakota.
Discuss!
Summary: Marcus has a crush on a girl with a penchant for trouble; Fiona and Will have a parenting conflict.
Discuss!
Will is told to sell his San Francisco home in order to solve his money issues. So he decides to find Marcus a brand new best friend.
I thought Will sold his place in San Francisco at the end of season one? Didn't a new resident even move in?
So... how do they get Will back to California? Does he break up with Dr. Smokeshow? Sorry I forgot her real name. I hope that's not the case because I really love her character and their chemistry. The episode where he bails on her gala and she shows up with an ambulance.... awesome.
was the little sister really allergic to peanuts, or was she just trying to get Marcus to eat them?
Will bribes his way into a date while Marcus learns a hard lesson about the value of money.
BTW, the actress who plays Dakota was the hot reporter from iron man.
