LOL yeah. That last part had me on the floor. "It's not what you think, he's a guy!"

LMAO :D

I thought it would suck because I didn't like David Spade but he was pretty funny.... his sarcasm fit because he wasn't over the top and the show just continues to impress me

Am I the only person who wants Rory to get a steady girlfriend?

I have to say I did not enjoy this episode. It seemed to sort of have a depressing feel to it. Also, I don't think Katey's acting could get any less enthusiastic...:(

David Spade...yuck. The whole Rory kissing thing...yuck. I just feel like this show is going downhill. Another thing is that they barely use any color now. The whole set is dark, the costumes are dark, that is almost hurts my eyes to watch...

Ugh...sorry for all these complaints, but I'm expecting more from this show. They had the nations attention and IMO they let us down...:(

I can only hope the next few eps will have some color and spunk to them...

I agree ,bb25, the show has become a bit depressing since the episodes with Ritter. I think it's the lack of color, gives it less flair to it. My biggest problem with this show, though, is the same problem with all the other shows I watch. Too many commercials and is often being preempted, or showing repeats. It used to be shows didn't show any repeats until the summer. I miss that.

I didn't have a problem with Sagal's performance. I think the writers/producers want to keep this character low-key, to give the impression that she is the only normal, sane person in this family, and all other character's will revolve around that. It's a method used commonly in sitcoms (ie...Seinfeld, Will and Grace.)

I'm hoping it gets better in the future. A new opening sequence would be nice.
