As long as I'm online... :p

LOST IN LOVE--After several months of dating, Marni (Jennifer Finnigan) realizes she has never set foot in Nate's (Josh Cooke) apartment. Marni invites herself over to his place and Nate, in a state of panic over his crazy, pack-rat apartment, decides to turn off all the lights so she can't see the mess. Marni's curiosity over what Nate is hiding gets the best of her, so she breaks in the next day with Tess (Tammy Lynn Michaels). Elsewhere, Bowie (Darius McCrary) discovers the true meaning of the Chinese symbol that he had tattooed on his arm. Tom Poston also stars.

Not a bad episode, but I liked it less than the previous ones.

The whole apartment thing, especially the break-in, was fun to watch. The tattoo part, not so much. I don't like Nate's friend, for whatever reason (and no, it has nothing to do with him being black, because I just know someone will be a smartass and suggest that :p).

I thought this one was as good as the other ones...But your right about Nate's friend, I dunno what it is about him...he can be annoying sometimes

By the way, The Clown is the most useless character in the show. I mean hes only had like 3 or 4 lines so far in these 3 episodes. It wouldn't make a difference if he was here or not. Tess is also really weird. I guess the characters I really like are, Marni (shes my favorite!), Nate, Todd, and I guess Bowie can be okay sometimes.

This show is kind of interesting, considering I don't usually watch anything on NBC. The apartment episode was pretty good but I don't understand Tom Poston's part in this show, he seems out of place. To tell the truth although they are playing up the fact that all the characters are supposed to be borderline clinical cases I don't find them any stranger than your typical sitcom characters. To me the people in Seinfeld or any other show are just as weird. Another point: the laugh track is way too loud; it's annoyingly distracting. I suppose that in the upcoming weeks we'll meet the relatives, the guy will be offered a job more suited to his education and there'll come a major turning point in the couple's relationship.

Hmm, I don't think so. how come no one ever says anything about the Laugh Track on Everybody Loves Raymond? or That 70's show.....Now those shows have annoying Laugh tracks

It got a 6.7/10 share. I don't know what that translates to in terms of viewers, or if it was better than the previous two airings.

Well, since Tuesday Night is what counts(it's timeslot because The Apprentice is returning), it's not going to make it very far. It got a strong lead-in from The Biggest Loser finale which won't be there next week. I expect it to finish fourth behind American Idol on FOX, The Amazing Race on CBS, and Rodney on ABC.

Despite the lead-in, Committed pulled a 6.7/10 on Tuesday, The 9pm half hour of The Biggest Loser got a 9.9/15 however. The Amazing Race got a 7.1/11 and ABC got a 6.5/10. American Idol comes back on Tuesday.

The good news for this show is, American Idol's timeslot is supposed to be 8-9pm on normal weeks.

Oh well. If this show dies, I can't say I'd miss it. It hasn't been around long enough for me to become attached to it.
