I know that I am really just beating a dead horse by even trying to stimulate any conversation here, but I feel unable to stop! Because this thread was popular in its day, I have decided to see what happens if I bring it to the top of the page.

liked alot of them.

During the last two months, I have been trying every trick in the book to try to stimulate some conversation about this fine series! Nothing seems to work! The fact that this thread has been pushed as far down on the page as it has is mainly because of threads started by me that have managed to generate views but no replies. As one more attempt, I have decided to bring this one to the top of the page. I am hoping that some newcomers might be inspred by the topic and be willing to tell us what episodes they especially liked. Let us see what happens!

It seems as if conversation on this page goes in spurts. Every once in a while, someone will think of a topic that one or more other people will think is worthy of a reply. I am wondering if bringing this thread to the top of the first page might inspire some new people to tell us what episode they especially liked and why.

It seemed that, for a while, this page had been getting quite a few posts. I have responded to the new threads and brought some of my old favorites to the top of the page in an attempt to stimulate even more conversation. I wonder what will happen when this one goes to the top.

I'm now watching this series for the first time. I'm still on the second season and so far my favorite episode is when Julie has a crush on the dim witted jock who secretly obsesses for Katie. And when Katie finds out that the jock was just using Julie she kicks him to the curb!
The next episode I will watch is called Love Thy Neighbor. I hope it's a good one.

The episode that you described is my favorite episode of the whole series! I thought that the site of Julie in her designer boots was too good to be true! Julie was always my favorite.

Julie was smart which made her more attractive in my opinion. I hated that the jock guy was just using her so he could get to meet Katie. Katie was a good sister to tell that creep off when she found out what he was up to.

In the first place, I agree with you that Julie's intelligence did really add to her attractiveness. On top of that, I think that her hair, her makeup and the outfit that she had on in this particular episode made her look like centerfold material! I also agree that the boy in the episode was a real creep for using Julie as a way to meet Katie. Even though I was never especially fond of Katie, I thought that she showed quite a bit of decency when she told the boy off and slammed the door in his face!

I think Julie was attractive in a wholesome kind of way. To me, Katie was more the centerfold type. I think she was beautiful and sexy.

Even though Katie might have been pretty enough and sexy enough to be a centerfold, I do not think that she deserved the honor. I thought she was way to full of herself. One time that her egotism and selfishness really backfired on her was in the third-season episode "Samantha's Protest". However, my guess would be that you have not reached that point in the series yet. A short while ago, you commented on the fact that, once upon a time, I posted a thread called "Katie's Crotch". Well, after you see this episode, you will understand the meaning of that title and the thread that goes with it.

Katie may have been self absorbed and shallow at times, but I do think she had a deeper side. I also think she might have been Nell's favorite of the three girls.

I short while ago, I attempted to stimulate some conversation by bringing two of my old favorites to the top of this page. It seems as if I managed to maintain some decent correspondence with another poster with this thread for a while. I will now see what will happen if I bring it to the top!
