I have just watched the President episode. Brilliant line from Frank regarding Danas obvious defeat in the election; 'Dana's sorta like one of those deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck and JT's driving!'

I might be wrong but in all the scenes that Karen was in, not one line of hers was about her looks.

The episode Boys Will Be Boys had some nice character building scenes for Frank where he explained to his friend just how much Carol and his new life means to him. What was odd though is that the tag that played out during the closing credits was set at Christmas. The episode aired Dec 11th and the next one aired in January.

That could be. Still it's too bad.

I am near the end of season 2. I have been watching inproduction order according to the numbering given on Wiki. Mind, the Aloha episodes were filmed straight after the episode with the Christmas tag. With that said, the episodes were clearly meant to air in February as Frank mentions it was Feb. The next few episodes in production order all feature snow in the establishing shots of the dinner and 2011 house. A lot of shows film certain episodes in a certain order for various reasons. The episode of The Brady Bunch that introduced Cousin Oliver was filmed after the first episode he appeared in, probably to allow him to get comfortable with the cast etc. When the show was aired over here by Sky they aired it production order so the episode introducing him came after Two Petes in A Pod which was recorded and aired first.

One episode of Step had Carol struggling due to a lack of staff in her beauty shop. If only she had a mother and sister to help out?

Interesting that the last episode aired though the 21st made didn't feature a closing tag but rather freeze frames from the episode as the old closing theme played.

And very impressive that so many big songs seemed to have been cleared for this release. Vogue and Stand by Me cannot have been cheap.

I have just watched The Un-Natural where Mark plays baseball. I love the music played as Mark prepares to take his final swing and the music straight after. Anyone know if it was lifted from a film or anything?

In The Psychic at about 3m40s into the episode, Karen runs up the stairs in the kitchen but goes to the left rather than the right. I have seen her do this before which suggests those stairs at the back of the kitchen lead to two separate staircases. Just how many stairs do they need in that house?
