Thumbs up Friday's Fabian Episode

I really wasn't looking forward to seeing Fabian but tonight's ep was surprisingly entertaining. I like the girls' 'Grease' look.

An another note, I must say as a woman I am totally jealous of Jo's legs. Cute show tonight.

I totally loved that episode, I watched a lot of episodes growing up and that is one of the few that I actually remember watching in it' original run. It was so fun I was remembering things and I knew what was going to happen! I thought they did it so funny, Beverly Ann was a hoot!

I don't know how they could say their name.
I think the name Pinky suited Blair well.
They said they wanted their name on a sign.
I don't how they would be able to get a big enough one.

OMG, I loved this episode!! And Michele35, you weren't looking forward to seeing Fabian? Fabian's awesome! You should see the L&S episode with Fabian, it's hilarious. Laverne nearly falls off a building and Lenny snaps her bra... okay, had to see it... anyway, I liked the Grease thing too, but I think the Beverly Ann as Mrs. Krebbs was funnier since it was a reference to Maynard G Krebbs

Graveyard, this is one of the few I remembered too. Although I didn't realize it until I started watching it. I love when the littlest things spark even the vaguest memory. All I remembered though was Beverly Ann all dressed up weird, Andy with the cow-lick, and of course the Sha la la la la la la la la la's. Great episode though. But it's almost unfortunate that at this point the only truly good episodes are the ones that involve an altered state of reality.

L/S I do kinda remember Fabian on L&S. That was a really funny ep.

I also agree that the 7 Little Indians and the Fabian episodes have been probably the best done and they were both fantasy/altered reality type shows.

Beverly Ann was too funny..kind of a combination Valley Girl/60's Bond girl.

I will try to change my signature. I couldn't remember the exact quote when I registered for this site.

So I guess I'm alone in hating this episode?

Well, not necessarily hating it, just I never want to see it again.

Ever.

Well I don't hate it, it just wasn't one of my top favorites. I'll be honest. It's one of those..."eh" type of things. I haven't seen it in a while. Maybe I should look at it again. One of my favorites is when Pippa and the girls sing "Bad Girls in trouble" that was good!

Unfortunately I only cought the last half of this ep. From what I saw though it was HILARIOUS! I loved the Grease anology. REALLY FUNNY! The hair was a hoot and Jo was great in her outfit. I love those kind of episodes where they're really fake, like the one the other night with the dream. That was so funny!
