Default Favourite Kimberly episodes

Hi.

I'm curious to know what your favourite episodes are that centre around Kimberly?

Mine would be Family On Ice, Green Hair, the episode where she goes ski-ing with a friend (can't remember the title), and Bulimea (sp?).

What about you?

Definetly Bulimia first, Family On Ice is a really good one too.
I think all the episodes with Kimberly as the main character were good ones.

I gotta agree with you there Jethro. One of my favorites is Happy Birthday Drummond. When they aired it on TV Land, I remembered the episode vividly, because I had seen it before when I was a kid. But when Sam had a surprise for Mr. D's birthday, and it was Kimberly, I was sooo excited and I couldn't believe she was finally back, because there was so many episodes without her and it was a joy seeing her again. I was clapping my hands and wooing as if I was part of the studio audience. LOL. It's a very good and touching episode and if I can be so bold, one of the most defining episode.

While we're on the subject of Kimberly/Dana Does anybody sometimes have a hard time watching her on DS?

I do, mainly in the Family On Ice episode. She was so lovely and talented and knowing how she ended up is really sad. Anyone else ever feel the same way sometimes?

thnx for the ep title. and to answer your second question, i don't find it difficult. of course i haven't seen an ep in over a year at least. but when i did watch before, i guess i never connected death and tragedy with kimberly.

Ah, I forgot that episode. It was nice seeing Dana back in DS. It just didn't seem like the same show without her.

I don't think I really have a hard time watching Dana on DS. In the back of my mind, I feel kind of bad because she was so talented and now she's gone. Most of the time, I just see Dana as Kimberly. I don't put it together directly. I just watch the show and admire her acting skills.

I had a hard time at first watching some episodes. Especially, when N@N aired DS for the first time. I just felt kind of awkard watching it when you know what happens to the lives of the cast. But, yeah I agree with you about the Family on Ice ep. She says some lines that are so ironic. Sometimes it's just sad watching her period, because she was so beautiful, cute, and charming. I sometimes find myself saying "how could this have happened to her?"

It is hard to watch Dana sometimes knowing what happaned, but I agree with what Jenny said in that you can watch and admire.

That was an ironic line she said in Family On Ice. I remember another ironic line in "The Cricket" episode, I can't remember the line exactly but I know it was something that now sounds strange.
