In Season 4, “Tush Push and Some Radishes” pulled off the balancing act between comedy and tragedy so beautifully that it snagged Allison Janney an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
In the episode’s opener, Bonnie (Allison Janney) and her daughter Christie (Anna Faris) are enjoying some girl time and learning to line dance.
It’s an intensely emotional moment, and it’s no wonder why Janney got the Emmy nomination.
It’s a beautifully written scene, and Janney walks the line between anger and utter despair perfectly.
