Vegas two parter, Barbara and Mark getting married

[Bonniegirl]

Yesterday I wasn't feeling well. 24 hr. bug or something. I was in the bed a lot of the day sleeping off and on. To make a long story short, during ODAAT I was drifting in and out of sleep. S*cked cause they were good eps from what I saw. So did they end up getting married there? And I noticed Julie and Max were in the ep. and Julie was pregnant right? Wished I wasn't nodding off and got the full picture!


Could you give me exact details, anyone who saw last night please?

No wedding till season 8 premiere (which should be in a day or two). Yes, J & M were there and J was pregnant. Basically, Mark gets a free trip to Vegas, wedding planning frustrations lead to the idea of a quickie wedding, the whole familys' upset, Ann and Schneider fly in, arguments ensue, calmer heads prevail.

This is all from my memory Bonnie, so I may have left a few things out!)

Mark won a prize from the American Dental Association (yeah okay!) for a trip for two to Las Vegas. He actually came in 3rd place but the other top scoring students had the flu and he won by default.

Meanwhile Ann is planning their wedding at $17.50 cents a head for the reception. Barbara and Schneider are worried about the price and Schneider helpfully suggests his lodge to hold the reception. Ann kindly vetoes his offer and reminds them both that "Ed will kick in on the price".

Barb and Mark go to Vegas in a gorgeous 2 room suite (with Dwayne's misgivings and Annie's blessings.

Barbara gets amorous and wants to consummate their union early but Mark reminds her of her vow to wait till their wedding night. They eventually play cards to see what fate will decide for them. Just then Ann calls and Barbara (who is alternately sexy, smug and whiny in this 2 parter) gets mad at her for something to do with the wedding and tells Ann that she and Mark will marry in Vegas to save money. Ann is furious and hangs up. Offscreen Katherine is none too pleased either and also hangs up on Princess Barbie.

They then invite Max and Julie who show up to find out that the young couple have decided to not get hitched in Vegas after all. Ann storms in on cue (with Dwayne and Alex in tow) and has a hissy fit and Barbara and she argue for what seems like an eternity. Max, Schneider and Mark leave the room and go out gambling. The two squabblers work out their differences while a pregnant, healthy looking Julie confesses to being the offender in the apple core incident when they were little children.

Mark comes back and DEMANDS that they get married like they were going to originally and Barbara and Ann happily comply as that is what they agreed to just before Mark came back.

Side note. Lady Diana gets a mention when Barbara complains that the wedding plans are too lavish. Apparently Romano and Webster are doing very well because suddenly Ann has money to burn for this special occasion and she is still stung from Julie's modest ceremony in the park where she married the best man!

Alex has a very small role in this arc. Some of you might like that. I am probably the only one who finds his presence welcome. I like him for some reason, maybe its the pre teen girl in me, LOL.

I am way too lazy to write all that. You win recap battle

Thanks opus.

As I was watching Barbara act ultra seductively with Mark last night I was thinking of you and your love for Miss Cooper.

Its hard to believe that Gaines and Bertinelli reportedly did not get along in real life as they were so lovey dovey in this episode.

My Goodness Anna!! You should be working as a TV reviewer!! Your rundown on the show was very detailed! AWESOME!! Thanx!

A shame I missed a lot of that, I love the soap opera type eps on ODAAT!

A lot of the stuff on the show I forget, and am just remembering them as AntennaTv rolls them out. That scene, however, has been burned in my brain for 30 years

I Know ,I miss her too! I wonder what happened to her? I guess she lost interest in ODAAT this time around!


Hardball ep. tonight!!! I swore I thought that Frankie kid was a girl!!! Being there was that other girl on the team, I really thought Frankie was a girl too! And Alex yet again was a screw up in this ep!!!

Max looked cute. He LOOKS like a baseball player!!!

I thought this was a silly episode. Max coaching a kiddies baseball team that we never see play, the entire episode takes place in Ann's apartment.

So Max twists his back and becomes immobile when showing Alex how to swing the bat. Then he borrows Schnieder's CB radio so he can coach the game over the radio from Ann's sofa. Then against his better judgment, he listens to Barbara and lets Alex play 1st base, and the team proceeds to lose the game. Just a silly episode all the way around. Thumbs down from me. Maybe they were trying to spoof The Bad News Bears.

This looks like it was designed to be a Max, Barbara, Alex episode. Ann is only seen at the beginning, I didn't see Schnieder at all but it's possible Antenna TV cut his part out.

Schneider wasn't in this ep.at all! And it wasn't explained where he was I don't think! He would be the first one Alex would ask to coach his team!!! Also it was convenient that Max was back in town right than!

I only liked the ep. cause Max was in it, laying on the couch was a plus too!!! Showed him and Barbara alone together a lot and the two of them have much more chemistry together than he and Julie or Mark and Barbara!!! Fast forward to season 9, "The nearness of you "!!! What If Max was laid up on the couch alone with Barbara than??? !!!
