Post Tonight's NY ep

What did everyone think? I didn't like it all that much because it was depressing. The groups is breaking up..each episode is working towards that. First Jo getting married, tonite Natalie said she'S be moving to NY...Blair's gonna take over Eastland. Just so depressing.

But did anyone else recognize the actor who played Ben?? That'S Richard Grieco! OK, those of you old enough to remember...he was on 21 Jumpstreet with Johnny Depp and later had his own spinoff from that show called "Booker". He was so cute...with shorter hair and a leather jacket.

Yeah I recognized him too and David Spade of course. But back to the episode, that bum manakin sure fooled me! I didnt like the last episode all that much but the first one was alright. Especially when Tootie stood up to the grandmother and let her know that she wasnt havin that! U go girl!!!

Whenever they do these episodes they focus way to much on the new people we don't care about. How about a little recognition from the people Natalie's been living with for like 9 years? These people suck at goodbyes or making any reference to the fact that things are changing BIGTIME. Another thing, this Natlaie in NY spinoff might not have been so bad. Reminded me of Friends, except they all live in a one-room apartment and they're all really different. But Ben was so Joey, and David Spade's character was somewhat Chandler-like. (that scene where he lost his first patient was a little overdone though, at first I was happy to see Natalie blow up like that, then that emotional thing just caught me offguard and didn't fit) Artsy girl was sort of Phoebe. Anyway, yeah, it was just like, ok, bye Nat, have fun. What the hell?

Yeah,I agree it sounded weird for Jo to say that she was a married woman. I thought it was sort of funny the way Blair was selling everything she could at the garage sell..Who knows maybe it was just me who thought that was funny? But these episodes were a big step down from the episodes they showed last night IMO...

The weird part was when the guy delivered the flowers he said "These are for Jo Polniaczek, Sex Goddess" If she was married, as she said, wouldn't that flowers be for "Jo Bonner, Sex Goddess"?

Love,

Thoughts from last night..
Rick dosent know that he can call her by his last name now? Poor Rick.

Pippa is starting to grow on me,she's funny and cute..but is unecessary..unless this was part of the plan to keep the show going. Pippa at the new co-ed Eastland.

Nat's goodbye to Tootie-then she's back to Peekskill?? Oh just there until she can pack..I like her roommates. I wanna see more!
Oh,too late, I guess.

Two more things I noticed..
It seems that the store already's been turned into bedrooms(?) for Andy and Pippa.

Is this the first time we've seen Nat and Tootie's room?


Also..who liked "Big City Blues"? I thought with the right creative team,it could have been a good show.
