Okay, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing either the Alan ancestry ep or the ep they are (supposedly) showing tonight - Charlie's ex evaluates the class. Are these new 1st season eps or did I just miss them the other times around?

Also, if they ARE new eps does this mean that they are going to show more new eps? (Let's hope.)

No, those are not new episodes. You must have missed them the first couple times around. Personally, I think both of those episodes are a little boring, in my opinion. I like the episodes more toward the end of the first season better.

Thanks Karenlynn for the information. You're right about the shows towards the end of the first season - that's when the show started hitting its stride.

Personally, I think last night's ep (The one w/ Charlie's Ex evaluating the class....forgot the title) was one of the better Season 1 eps. Really, I think, for the most part, the show didn't hit its stride until around the start of season 2

I saw "The Way We Weren't" only once months ago, and thought it was one of the more boring ones. The episodes that revolved around Charlie and his life were never that spectacular to me. The show started to gain its momentum when it started revolving around the kids' lives.

There is one episode on tonight (9/7) called "The Russians Are Coming...", has that been on already?
