The 6:10 To Lubbock – The series premiere begins at home with the McAllisters gathered around the TV watching Frasier. Amanda/Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment) soon enters to triumphantly announce she’s got the baby down. This statement segues into a heated debate between Mandy and Audrey McAllister’s (Rachel Bay Jones) opposing views about independence.

Later that evening, Mandy is still sore about Audrey’s earlier remarks and vents to Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) in private. At least she thinks it’s in private until Jim McAllister (Will Sasso) knocks on the door to point out they’ve left the baby monitor on the living room table.

Audrey clearly overheard Mandy’s harsh remarks and subtly addresses them over breakfast the next morning. Luckily the two don’t get much time to air their grievances thanks to Connor McAllister’s (Dougie Baldwin) awkwardly brief interruption.

Things immediately get awkward for Gorige at the McAllister Garage when Jim gives him a work order to deliver to Ruben (Jessie Prez). Although in a respectful manner, Ruben makes it painfully clear that he is far more qualified than Georgie and should have the Assistant Manager’s position. Elsewhere, Audrey and Mandy’s relationship crumbles even further when Audrey questions Georgie’s intelligence.

Georgie only learns about the insult because he confronts Audrey after returning from work to find Mandy in tears. This ultimately leads to them moving out hastily and renting a small trailer in a not-so-desirable location from the pushy Bev (Minerva Garcia). Despite everything, the dispute actually seems to strengthen Jim and Georgie’s relationship. Jim will even ask him to move back in while Georgie admits to looking up to Jim like a father figure.

That evening, Mandy and Georgie have Meemaw (Annie Potts) and Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry) over for dinner while Jim tells Audrey that he isn’t firing Georgie. She isn’t happy to hear about this and even goes as far as blaming Georgie for ruining Mandy’s life. Jim defends Georgie by claiming that it could just as easily be seen the other way around. There is a bit more back-and-forth but Audrey will ultimately admit to missing her family and Jim encourages her to apologize.

Georgie maintains his positive attitude as he and Mandy end the day by reflecting on their predicament. Mandy briefly hints at going back to work. Although Georgie appears a bit taken aback by the announcement, he claims he will support her in anything she wants to do. Things never get that far thanks to Audrey swallowing her pride and apologizing the next day.

Despite it being only one day, things appear to be going well at the McAllister’s house until Jim and Mandy overhear Georgie confronting Audrey over the baby monitor. Jim immediately opts to turn the device off but Mandy insists on turning it up. Luckily, what could have ended in disaster is sidelined when CeeCee utters her first words, Dada.

 

Georgie And Mandy’s First Marriage Review

To start, I’d have to give the episode a 5.6 out of 10. I would have probably given it a 6 or higher if it wasn’t for the ridiculous accents. I am not familiar with The Big Bang Theory or the characters so I know very little about the origins of the Cooper family. Despite all this, the episode was straightforward, wholesome, and surprisingly comedic.
