The Mick (TV series)

********
Okay I love my readers so I did what a loyal writer does for a loyal reader....(Make sure you tell a friend or two about this blog.). Yes I researched the topic.

The Mick....before I give you just the facts.  The Mick is about a woman named Mckenzie.  I'm guessing the spelling is right.

She has a rich sister and could use a "loan".  Her sister welcomes her with insults.  The Mick has insults too.  The rich sister realizes that The Mick wants money and is going to either refuse to giver her the money or make her beg in a big way for it.

All the sisterly love is interrupted when the FBI comes to take the rich sister away.  The rich sister tell The Mick to watch the three kids and the house until she gets out of the real big house.  If The Mick does this the rich sister will give her a buttload of money.....or enough to buy a chilli cheese dog at 7-11.  There was no mention of how much.

The show is about the adventures The Mick has with the three kids and the maid and the house and everything.  I only watched a bit of the show...well... a few clips here and there.  I want to watch the whole thing.  I don't have a streaming service so I have to wait a bit for the cable ready episode appears on my PVR.  I have to be careful not to get an STD waiting for the first episode.  I hope they find a cure for HPV and HIV and HOV and ......I don't know why I did that but I did.  Did you laugh or groan?  By the way there is a cure or treatment for HPV.

I like the coffee stealing scene.  Another great scene is the one where the older daughter claims to be good at drinking alcohol but she proves she can't handle 5 different types of cold syrup.  The Mick is almost Macgyver.

Read on to find out more about the show.  Leave a comment so I know if you like the show or think you will from the information on this page.

I just drank a delicious glass of Koolaid that my really frisky friend made for me.  Me and her spoke about some things that we didn't agree on when it comes to our 5 minutes of mutually beneficial exercises.  I said I'd only do a certain think under sedation.  .....  I feel a bit light headed.  That Koolaid tastes a bit like.... cold syrup......  Whoah.  The room is getting blurry...... Well I guess I will be doing that thing that I wasn't up for.  Read on and wish me luck.  By the way what's a tutu?  THUD!  Oh wait I have to click update so you can enjoy this page.....Bye again.   THUD!!!!
