Wow! Some of these are really good. I just don't like the Mike storyline. I don't think Cate would just go and develop this school girl crush on a stranger......And there's no talk of Principa Gibb.........

[needles1987]

I like this. Jim and CJ were my favorite characters on the show, but that was a good way to have them leave.

[needles1987]

I prefer Kyle with Kerry.
