I liked the scene where Jo was waiting on Blair at the diner after visiting their friends in New York. Both girls had changed and Blair no longer fit in with her snobby friend and Jo no longer fit in with her obnoxious Bronx Buddy.

You could see for the first time that Jo and Blair were really good friends despite their different backgrounds.

Ok I haven't seen a lot of the earlier episodes but I think right now my favorite scene is when Jo comes in after selling her bike and Jo's and Blair's beds have been magically switched cause Blair knew that Jo sold her bike, yet neither would tell the other why they did it. My second favorite scene is when Blair is telling herself what Jo would tell her about loving her father when he is in a bad situation. Especially when at the end Jo is like oh and one thing you forgot to tell yourself- would your father ever stop loving you if you got in trouble (I don't know exactly what was said but that's sort of like it). I really like the scenes that show that Jo and Blair really care for each other.

------------------
Tootie: Can we sing?
Jo: Sing?
Tootie: That's what I do when I'm scared what do you do?
Jo: Slap people


Blair: A Warner is like a delicate soufle
Jo: Yeah light and empty


Nat: I'd rather be a happy magic marker than a skinny pencil

Actually I have 2 favorite scenes the one where Blair is singing My boy friends back in opera. That kills me. And the one in 7 little indians when the girls go up stairs and find Blair mussed to death, her hair that was a riot.

Those are some of my favorites too.

But I like the part when Blair appears to kill Tootie better.

I have several fav scenes.

Favorite funny one:

-Blair wanting to kill Jo in the Helen of Troy costume cuz Jo forgot to tell her the event was moved.

-Jo handcuffed to Blair and grabbing stuff away from her under the desk.

Favorite 'serious' scene

-Blair switching beds with Jo. That was just so nice.

-Jo telling Blair about her dad. This one is tied with Blair sending Jo's application for a scholarship so Jo won't have to back to the "little pueblos"

------------------
-------------------------
*Jo and Blair rule!*

Nat: Look Jo if you don't get this scholarship you're gonna be back in the BRONX running around with the little pueblos!
Jo: Young Diablos!

BLAIR: Take them off JO!! I dont want to fail!
Jo: will you read my editorial?
Blair: YES!
JO: You PROMISE?
Blair: YES!!
JO: You SWEAR??
Blair: YESS!!!
Jo: i dont believe you (Ducks back under desk with a grin)

(Blair, Tootie and Jo laughing at Natalie)
Natalie: What?
(Continue to laugh)
Natalie: What?!
(Takes off her hat and looks at it)
Natalie: Oh good! Good!! I’m loosin’ a bolt! I’m working half wattage here!!

***Every Jo needs a Blair!***

Nat: A flash back within a flashback....! I'm so brilliant it scares me!

I liked the paint fight scene in "Four Muskateers" and the one where they are working in the kitchen for the fist time... New Girl part 2? And anyways Blair shoves the pie in the snooty girls face. Or wait, was that Jo who did that? Oh well, whatever! lol

Heh. It's cool seeing old topics being brought back...

Oh, there are so many wonderful scenes to choose from!

Hm, I love it when Blair and Jo are all excited together in the living room in "Magnificent Obsession." And Blair with the popcorn bucket on her head, holding the mop in "The Last Drive-In"...well, that's just priceless. I know there are more!

Cool Fav. Scene

My favorite scene has got to be the one where Blair and Beverly Ann are talking in one of those Christmas Episodes (forgot the name). Well this is what happened:
Blair: Who are you talking to?
Beverly Ann: Santa Clause
Blair: Well lets just have a party! I'll call my friend the Easter bunny. I have his private number!...911

LoL! I love that scene. It's sooo funny. Well in my opinion it is.

o! Actually, there are so many, any scene with Charlotte Rae really, but fi I had to pick just one, I absolutely LOVE The end of "Legacy" when MRs. G says, " Just because somebody disappoints you, DEEPLY disappoints you, that doesnt' mean you have to stop loving them!" etc....etc.... anyway, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that one, but I dont' know if I really have a "Favorite" I also liek the scene in "Teacher's Pet" where Mrs. G talks to Jo about "Gail." Oh, I cry everytime I watch that, just like in Sweet Sorrow at the very end...oh...see....There are so many!!

On of my favorite scenes would have to be from "Where's Poppa" when Jo gives Blair the advice about moving on with her life. I also love when Jo leaves in the Malibu ep. A funny scene that I enjoy is when Mrs. G's son Alex comes...

Blair: Trust me, I KNOW a phony when I see one.
Jo: You should. You spend enough time looking in the mirror.

I die with laughter every time!

My Favorite Seirious scene:
actually I haven't seen this ep I just saw this scene on the E true hollywood story and it's the First time when Nat tells everyone that she slept with Snake and Jo is stunded and her cereal is going all over. Also from the ep Let's party when Tootie, Nat and Blair come back from Marshalls party and Marshall drove them home and had a wreck and everyone is pretty shuck up about it. And the one were Blair had the car accident and she finally see's the scare on her forehead.

Favorite Funny Scene:
The one when Blair comes back from the Helen of Troy contest with that long black stripe on her back that topped it off. Another scene would be in Adventures in Bailysetting at the end when Jo and Nat bring Baily back then Bev and Andy come in with a kid and go we found Baily. Boy there's so many to choose from but here is one I like that hasn't been posted from the graduation ep when Roy comes in and kisses Jo that was priceless. And the ep Golden Oldies and the first scene when we see everyone old and the secen when Bev goes oh there's the cat (it's something like that).

I have soooooooooooo many!! Here they are:

-In "Crusing" when they start singing that song....

-In the "Summer of '87" or whatever it's called when Jo is singing at the restaurant.

-In some episode when Beverly Ann was like, "9-11!! 9-11!! 9....WHERE'S THE 11 ON THIS THING!?!?!"

-The part in the one where they all go to the store after it burned down and Natalie or Tootie is looking through the photo album....HAHA!!

-That same episode when Jo bought Blair another Mr. Frog...that was so sweet.

-The one when Mrs. G goes, "Only twice in my life have I spoken in an arbitrary manner. Once when my ex-husband morgatged (sp?) our house to pay the bookee and now. GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE BEFORE I BEAT YOU WITH MY FRYING PAN!!!" AHAHA!! CLASSIC!!!

-There were a few in this episode---The on whree Blair gets the wine from France. Lets see.....the whole first part...like when Tootie says, "I don't want to be typecast." That cracked me up. "Natalie, are you writing to prisioners again?""I don't have to do that anymore!" HAHA! Then there's the famous "I got beer." quote. Then I like the part when they were going up the stairs and Natalie was feeling sick....that was good too.


Okay I think I'm done now.
