First of all, I'm hate-watching the show at this point and BOTH storylines last night annoyed me for different reasons.
But here's my random comment...at the end of the show, Darlene gets Mark into a dorm room by signing him up to be a night janitor. Which a) she should've run that by him first, b) can a parent just get their kid a job like that? (outside of people hiring their kids to work at their own businesses of course) and c) if Mark's chief complaint about not being in the dorms was not being able to do stuff in the evening with his fellow students, wouldn't him working as a janitor in the evenings prevent him from being able to attend the keggers and LGBTQ events?
I was also wondering...I lived in a quad on campus my freshman year of college. We had what might have been the worst mix of roommates on the entire campus, and indeed possibly in the history of roommates. Two of my roommates had gone to the same high school and were "sworn enemies"...so yeah, let's put them in the same dorm room. But here's what made me wonder...both of those roommates were attending college for free because their respective daddies were professors on campus. And instead of living at home, both were in the dorm; I assumed at the time, room and board was also free because of their daddies' jobs. There was a lot of talk last season about how stupid it was for Darlene to quit a decent job and take a job as a lunch lady at the college Mark wanted to attend so he could attend for free, and many remarked that IRL, Darlene would've had to have been an employee for x number of years before Mark could get free tuition. And now he's going to be a janitor so he can get free room and board?
I don't know...the entire "get Mark into college" storyline has been annoying me for several seasons now because of how unrealistic it is, even for a TV show that's supposed to be a comedy and isn't supposed to be a documentary.
