Tonight's episode:

MOTHER'S DAY -- VALERIE HARPER ("RHODA" GUEST STARS) -- Marni (Jennifer Finnigan) meets Nate's (Josh Cooke) mom, Lily (guest star Valerie Harper) for the first time at the mental institution where she is a resident. Unfortunately, Lily expresses her dislike for Marni, who then sets out to make Lily like her and will do anything to win her over. However, when Lily convinces Marni to take her out to lunch and then disappears, Nate begins a frantic search for his lost mother. Meanwhile, Tess (Tammy Lynn Michaels) meets the new "cute guy" in their building and enlists Clown (Tom Poston) to help her get a date with him. Darius McCrary also stars.

This was so funny!!! His mother is in an asylum. I thought they were rich at it was her house ROFL. Funny line to Marni: I don't like you. ROFL. They don't really tell us why she doesn't like Marni. I guess she doesn't want to lose her son.. The nanny meets this hot new neighbor but she kept doing strange things ROFL. She needed clown to help her so he tells the hot guy that she is easy.. ROFL. Love this episode..

They did mention it. Something about how she can't stand not being the only woman in his life and would rather he be gay.

I thought this was so-so. The Tess/Clown thing was more interesting to me, but only got what, three scenes?

Marni's voice was a lot more downplayed this time around, I thought.

just watched it last night - great episode, funny stuff, and if the show DOESn't work out, they could always give the clown his OWN show.
