1/13 - "The Kid Stays In the Picture"

[Steve M.]

After getting Patrick a side job as a studio teacher to Dylan Cassidy (Alyson Stoner) - a demanding young actress in Penny Marshall's new film - Alex finds herself in an awkward position when Patrick unintentionally talks the diminutive diva into quitting the business, having told her that she's too smart to be wasting her time as a thespian. Meanwhile, Stevie has the time of his life when he accidentally locks himself in Alex's panic room.

Penny Marshall guest stars as herself.

Ha ha ha ha ha, I was cracking up just reading this plot summary! This episode can't help but be funny! Go Stevie! :D :lol:

Oh yeah, this one was hilarious! Penny Marshall is still funny in front of the camera after all these years. Looks like Patrick learned a lesson or two about dismissing film acting as child's play. Hmmm, do you suppose he would have said this on the set of an Ingmar Bergman film? ;) And Stevie is so over-the-top, it makes sense that only a panic room could control him! :D When, when are he and Cheri going on that inevitable disastrous date? :lol:

First she's a brunette, now she's a redhead - wonder what Alex is going to be next week? :D
