Although I liked a lot of episodes from the first two seasons, I would like to spend a little bit of time talking about a few special favorites:

For an absolute favorite in season one, I would have to go with "The Emergency". There were a lot of things that I liked about this episode, but I would say that my favorite is that I like Hazel Shermet and she was in it. If anyone is interested in knowing more about what I liked about this episode in general or Hazel's part in particular, they can go to the thread on this page dedicated to season one quotes or the one about all-time favorite episodes. Furthermore, I have read the biography of Liz Sheridon who played an even more imporatant part in this episode than Hazel Shermet and found it to be "very" interesting! I learned a "lot" of interesting facts about her days dating James Dean!

I would say that the episodes about the birthday of the chief's late wife was a close second for me. One of the reasons for this goes back to Hazel Shermet's part! On top of this, there is something about the character of Julie in boots that has always made me salevate! I thought that the boots that she wore to the Mexican restaurant were "hot"! However, in my next paragraph, I will write about Julie in a pair of boots that were even "nicer" than the ones that she wore in this episode!

Without doubt, my favorite episode in season two is "Katie Steals Julie's Jock"! In this episode, Julie's outfit in general and her boots in particular could "not" be beat! Wow!

I guess that "Julie Smokes" is my second favorite episode in this season. Although I much prefer Julie over Katie, there was one scene in this episode in which I thought that Katie looked pretty "hot"! The scene that I am referring to is the one in which she was on her way to a shopping spree. I liked the way that she looked in her jeans and she looked pretty sophisticated putting her little grey leather purse over her shoulder!

I can't believe I forgot to mention "Do Or Diet" as one of my faves! I love that episode.

I just watched this episode. I felt bad for Julie when Katie very casually goes out with Steve like it's no big thing to Julie. The fight scene in this episode is classic. I thought it was funny when Katie tells Julie she looks like a bride at a gypsy wedding.

I am bringing this thread to the top mainly as an attempt to stimulate some more conversation about this fine show! I agree with the last poster that it was very amusing when Katie told Julie that she looked like the bride at a Jipsy wedding. However, in actuality, I thought that Julie looked "really" sweet in the outfit that she had on! Especially those leather boots! Wow! I also thought that it was really sweet when the two sisters made up in the end. Seeing that type of female bonding "really" filled me up!
