"Crazy Chin" was completely unnecessary.

I love that episode and explained more of the pain Robert has gone through in his life. The chin thing was brought up in the very first episode and was always a cute quirk to me, but it clearly came from somewhere and a new group of outsiders (Amy's family) brought the issue to ahead. I also think the episode showed Amy in a good light because she never had an issue with it nor questioned it until she felt she had to. Even at the end of their temp fight she had no desire to change his behavior.

I'm not sure I agree with that. I don't think every single thing needs to be explored and analyzed to death. He wasn't killing anybody. He touched his fork on his chin. If somebody wants to pursue therapy on their own because it bothers them that much that's one thing. But ganging up on somebody and making them feel like they belong in a straightjacket for something like that isn't helpful. But it is a sitcom so I understand how they wanted the comedy aspect to revolve around that. I personally didn't think it was all that funny but that's me.

It was a great episode and IS necessary.
Robert had been doing the chin thing since like the beginning of the show or shorty aftter. I assume they planned to explain it all along.
I agree. It is one of my favorite episodes. -

NP. It is an interesting debate. I especially thought it made Debra look really bad in the episode. Her arrogance about how she took psychology and she was like "I can figure this out I know I can". How about stfu and don't exploit my life in front of the whole family like your trying to solve a problem in a board game

I agree with you and the OP on this. Every little quirk doesn't need to be examined and debated to find out why we humans do the things we do, and Robert was already self conscious and awkward enough without having the whole family discuss his odd little trait as if none of them have any of their own.
I also agree that Deb came off as pretty annoying trying to play shrink over it. -

Not EVERYTHING that exists needs to have an explanation.
Actually, If it's something that started at say, age 7.something triggered it and once you find out what, you have an explanation.
If he's been doing it since he was able to grab anything at 6 months old, then it would just be something he does and no explanation would be needed.
Since it was stated that he didn't used to do that and it appeared later in childhood there would be an explanation for this sudden change so the episode was necessary.
