The first casualty of the fall season appears to
be “Sunnyside,” the NBC Thursday night sitcom
starring Kal Penn.
The show, which premiered on Sept. 26, will be
pulled from the schedule after this Thursday’s epi-
sode; the remaining episodes will move NBC’s digi-
tal platforms. Penn plays a disgraced local politi-
cian who tries to rehab his image — and, perhaps,
his heart — by helping immigrants become Ameri-
can citizens. But viewers weren’t watching. It has
had the lowest ratings of any NBC show this fall —
and of any of the four main networks’ new fall
shows.
To fill the gap, NBC is going to begin the final

(and they mean FINAL final) season of “Will &

Grace” early. It was originally due next year, but

now it will premiere on Oct. 24 at 9:30 p.m., with

18 episodes in all.

By the way, in the promo for “Will & Grace,” we

learn that Grace is pregnant. “What an amazing

mom you’re going to be,” Will says to her. “I mean,

by the time this baby’s my age, I’ll be — well, I’ll be

dead.”

Jack response to Grace’s news: “You’re trying to

cook a baby in an old 1970s Easy-Bake, lady.”

By the way, only one new network show has got-

ten a full-season order: Fox’s “Prodigal Son,” a dra-

ma about a profiler and his serial killer dad.

Q.I have been dating a wonderful man for

nine months. He is smart, funny, and deeply

charming, as well as being ridiculously at-

tractive. On a normal day, I see a great future

for the two of us.

However, every once in a while he will do

something that I just can’t get past. We’ll be

having a normal conversation, when sudden-

ly, he’ll pretend to be mad at me (or invent

that I am mad at him), and literally pick a

fight, even though he knows that neither of

us is actually angry to start with.

It comes out of nowhere. Growing up, my

father was prone to out-of-the-blue rages, so

my first reaction is terror, followed quickly by

intense anger, once I realize what he’s doing.

I’ve explained that I find this behavior

confusing and very upsetting, and he apolo-

gizes at the time, but it keeps happening.

I’m starting to feel that he actually is mad

at me but doesn’t know how to express it

properly, and that maybe he enjoys upsetting

me in this way.

He’s not a great communicator, and I tend

to avoid conflict, so I’m not sure how to ad-

dress this, other than the way I already have.

I don’t want to leave him, but this quasi-

gaslighting might be too much for me. What

should I do?

I WASN’T MAD, BUT NOW I AM

A.I agree with your take on this, that your

guy chooses this extremely passive but very

manipulative path as a way of expressing his

genuine anger over something unrelated.

I wonder if his parents taught him to sup-

press his honest reactions to things that upset

him, and so he learned to gin up trouble at

other times, when it was “safer” for him to do

so. However, the reasons behind this don’t

matter as much as the behavior, itself.

You should communicate your concerns

very clearly, during a time when things are

calm. It might help you to write down your

thoughts. Give examples of times when this

has happened. You should explain the effect

this baffling behavior has on you, and urge

him to try harder to express himself honestly

in the moment, versus blindsiding you with

an invented problem.

It takes work, but it is possible to change

the way you each handle conflict.

If he is unable or unwilling to work on

this, I agree with you that this is a deal-break-

er. In addition to the effect this has on you,

imaginethechallengeofraisingchildren

with someone who behaves this way?

Q.My 17-year-old daughter was invited by

her boyfriend’s mom to go for parents week-

end to visit her boyfriend at his college five

hours away.

She was told that just the mom was going

and that she would be sharing a hotel room

with the mom. However, when they picked

her up, the stepdad was in the car. It became

clear that she would be sharing the hotel

room with the mom and the stepdad. She was

uncomfortable with this but did not want to

rock the boat.

My husband and I felt the sleeping ar-

rangements were inappropriate, and booked

a room for our daughter for the first night.

We weren’t able to get a room for the second

night, and the stepdad stayed in the dorm

room with her boyfriend.

Now my daughter is spitting mad at us for

intervening and inconveniencing the step-

dad. It has caused a real rift. Did we do the

wrong thing? We don’t know the family that

well.

How do we heal the relationship with our

daughter? We are all so sad right now. She

barely speaks to us.

SAD PARENTS

A.You did the right thing, Your daughter re-

ported that she was uncomfortable, you were

also uncomfortable, and you responded. Now

she is embarrassed.

Your daughter might have wanted to

spend the night with her boyfriend in his

room; your intervention thwarted this.

Invite her to talk this through with you. If

she refuses, let her stew, and love her anyway.

She’s a teenager and is using silence to punish

you. It’s up to you whether you will submit.

Q.Thank you for your response to “Not Sure,”

who was worried about a possible toxic brew

with college roommates. Please continue to

remind college students that their resident

advisers are here to help them with their

roommate and housing problems.

RA

A.College can be a very tough adjustment.

RAs are there to help.
