Kelly must give a eulogy at the funeral of a former WURG news anchor; Chuck offers to watch Gracie in order to get some bonding time.

Sounds like a good storyline. It seems like they're trying to move the Chuck and Gracie storyline a little faster now, seeming how they really don't know whether or not they'll be renewed next season.

Can't wait to talk about this episode!

First up on February 26th is “Cradle to Grave,” which will feature ladies’ man Chuck Darling looking after his darling daughter Gracie when her mom Kelly heads to a former colleague’s funeral.

And, don’t worry. Chuck’s not the only WURG anchor who’s going to be in a bind. There’s plenty of distress in store for Kelly, as well, when it’s revealed that the deceased has everyone thinking she had a “thing” going on with him. Don’t you just hate when dead people spread lies like that?

This episode of Back to You airs Tuesday on FOX at 9:30pm EST.

Excellent show! Lots of laugh out loud moments.

"To, be honest, Ed rode me pretty hard." :lol:

"Ed said if it doesn't hurt, you're not doing it right." :lol:

Kelly looked great, loved her hair. I enjoyed Chuck and Gracie's scenes. She's adorable, and she is her mother.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this episode!!!

Man oh man, is Patty hot or what???


I really liked the chemistry that is developing between Chuck and Gracie.

Marsh dropping the cell phone in the coffin was laugh out loud funny too. :lol:

This episode was hilarious. Talk about a comeback. Patty was exceptional. I'm still laughing out loud at the eulogy. The scenes with Chuck and Gracie talking about Kelly were so sweet and when she joined them in that last scene ..... I absolutely loved it.

It's a shame the first season of the show will be cut short because of the strike. It's a shame if it doesn't make it to the second season. Great show with two of the best, if not the best, comedic actors on tv to date.

Sorry, I just suffered a Patty attack..lol..Now it's all better....lol

Marsh dropping the cell phone in the coffin was laugh out loud funny too. :lol:


ok that's what that was when I heard the cell phone ringing but had no idea Marsh dropped it in the casket, I must have missed that part. I was wondering would gracie have a attitude the whole time she was with chuck but she came around, especially with the-"YOU LIKE HER, YOU LIKE HER".-lol


Great ep, I hope they can keep a nice balance between gracie and the workplace, that should keep things nice and even.

Very true, I like a nice balance of workplace and homelife. Let's just hope people tuned in last night.

BTW Solomon, DO NOT forget tonight is another new episode. lol

Chuck cannot hide his jealousy when a younger, rival anchorman asks Kelly out on a date; Gary covers a convention for people who wear animal costumes.

Solomon did you also know that George Lopez's Aimee Garcia was originally cast in the role as Montana?

Some pics from the episode...

I see Aimee Garcia in that role. I know what she looks like (caught a pic from IMDB) and in general, I can just see her in that role. I know you were talking to Solomon, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Thanks for sharing!

Did you see this last episode?

If so, what were your thoughts?

Thanks for replying like that. Unforunately, I did not see last night's episode. I will try to see tonight's episode, but no garantees (sp.?)

Great ep, I hope they can keep a nice balance between gracie and the workplace, that should keep things nice and even.
Good point. The balance is very important. It's definitely not an all workplace comedy, but I'm fine with that. It's striking that balance, and so far, they seem to be doing a good job of it.

Also, is Aimee Garcia the woman who plays George Lopez's wife? She's a hottie, and would have done Montana very well, although I'm quite pleased with how Ayday Field is handling the role. I loved the time when she told Kelly that she had no idea it was going to rain, and Kelly told her, "You're the Weather Girl." :lol:

No, she wasn't the wife, she played a character named Veronica. She is still pretty, but not as "sultry" as Ayda Field.

another great episode. So when does Back to You air again after tommorow's episode. I heard some where Wednesday April 16th at 8:30pm.

After tonight's episode at 9:30 EST, the new eps won't air until April 16th at 8pm if I am not mistaken.

Yeah It's clear to me that is not just a workplace comedy but a mixture. as long as the show stays balanced and not too much family stuff over the work stuff but a consistent mixture.

Well that means tonight's episode have to be a BLAST!!! I mean a 30 min BLAST!! since we are talking about 6 weeks from now-lol

Sorry I couldn't come here sooner - computer was giving me troubles.

Was this episode freakin hilarious or what? There were some points I couldn't stop laughing. The entire scene when Kelly was giving the eulogy was great - Janice already said some of the lines, so I won't go into that. I don't remember laughing so much at a TV show in my life. Then there was the cell phone gag, which was also funny - every character really had a funny storyline in this episode.

I can't remember if it was this episode or Wednesday's episode that mentioned Gary's last name again, unless it was both. I was seriously waiting for that to come up.

I saw the ratings for both episodes - not bad, but I was hoping for a little more. I hope some of the people that caught actually come back when it starts airings again in April.

I thought of another funny line. When Chuck's young date was whining that he told her that they, "Should go steady", and Chuck sheepishly said, "Well, I was actually referring more to a pacing issue." :lol:

'Cradle to Grave' Recap

Original Air Date: February 26, 2008

After CHUCK and KELLY close the news broadcast with the development that former anchor Ed Coleman has died, Kelly reveals she was asked to deliver the eulogy at his funeral, although she didn’t like him because he was so mean to her. GARY is stunned because, according to him, he knew the man better than anyone else at the station. Chuck, on the other hand, informs his colleagues he’s not even going to the funeral since he decided at nine years old that there were certain things he wouldn’t do anymore, and funerals was one of them.

In their shared office, Kelly makes a few snide remarks when she realizes Chuck is preparing for a date with AMBER, a blonde who’s much younger. She receives a message then that her babysitter for the funeral has canceled. Chuck volunteers while claiming he has to start spending time with their daughter GRACIE eventually, even if she still doesn’t know he’s her father.

So, Kelly drops Gracie off at Chuck’s hotel on the day of the funeral. Gracie is petulant, however, because she thinks she’s too old to require a babysitter. Everything Chuck has planned sucks to her, too, such as watching a movie with the Olsen twins — Gracie thinks their movies are stupid and their lives are a mess.

Bored, Gracie eventually starts giving Chuck the third degree, asking questions like why does he live in a hotel and then telling him what her mother said — he’s emotionally crippled and can’t form attachments. When Amber shows up, Chuck gets into hot water after Gracie asks if they’re a couple and he says no while Amber says yes.

Chuck finally manages to persuade Amber to leave. Yet, Gracie persists with her questions, forcing him to claim he volunteered to babysit her because he might want to be a dad one day and he wanted to try it out. When Gracie complains that she’s bored and thought hotels were supposed to be fun, Chuck takes her to what he believes is the most fun room in the place — the bar.

Gracie eventually apologies for her earlier moodiness — she hates being treated like a baby — and when a man recognizes Chuck from TV and comes over to say hello, she tells him Chuck is her dad. After the fan leaves, she also informs Chuck that although her mother conceived her through artificial insemination, they know a few things about her biological father: he has blue eyes and he’s smart, handsome, tall, and braggy. The last is a trait she shares with him, according to her mom.

Meanwhile, at the funeral, Kelly mistakes everyone’s heartfelt condolences to her as a sign that she meant more to Ed than she realized. As MARSH shares with MONTANA, it’s actually a sign that Ed told everyone for ten years he was sleeping with Kelly in order to cover up the fact that he was gay. Montana reveals these tidbits to Gary later to help him finally realize why Ed spent so much time with him — he was in love with Gary.

While WURG staff members are slowly discovering Ed’s lies, RYAN is still trying to figure out just exactly who Ed was since he can’t seem to remember him. A clueless Kelly begins to give her eulogy speech, unintentionally dropping all sorts of double entendres, such as Ed rode her hard and she needed it. The people in attendance laugh, of course, and Marsh finally goes up to explain to Kelly why when he can’t take it anymore.

Kelly is as shocked as the next person, especially since she never guessed Ed’s sexual preference, and she apologizes for her speech leaving everyone with such inappropriate imagery. No fear, though, because Ryan’s cell phone rings just then from inside Ed’s coffin. That’s where Marsh dropped it when someone startled him while he was trying to take a picture of the dead man to help Ryan finally remember who he was.

As Gary stands at Ed’s grave during the closing credits, he, too, is freaked out when the phone starts to ring from beneath the ground. It’s a shame he left the funeral in such a hurry before everyone else after learning the real reason why Ed was so chummy with him. Otherwise, he would have been there when the phone rang from inside the coffin.
