Talk about sharing problems. Now, for Jo I would understand WHY she didn't want to talk about it in front of her parents, but a computer? GIVE ME A BREAK!

BEST LINE: I have a problem, her name's Blair, we had a fight I hate her guts what should I do?

------------------
Blair: Sometimes I play a little too much attention to fashion.

Jo: You mean not enough!

Steve: Start from the beginning, tell me everything.
Jo: Ok, I have a problem. Her name is Blair, we had a fight I hate her guts what do I do?

Alex: And you must be Jo....
Jo: I have one simple question for you, who are you?

Mrs. G: Since when did we start selling video cameras?
Tootie: It's not a camera.
Mrs G: Then what is it? Another gum dispenser?
Tootie: No! It's a phone!
Mrs G: Then why are we selling it for half-off?
Jo: It only makes local calls.

Blair: Jo's father is here. do I have the JUICEST secret.
Mrs G: Well let's just keep it a secret then.
Blair: But it's SOOOO Delicious!
Mrs G: BLAIR!
Blair: Jo is really named Joanna Marie
Jo: My dad calls me that sometimes (Quickly tone changes) But nobody else!
( Holds up a fist)
Blair: I prefer Jo my self.
Jo: How about a free face life Blair, right off your neck?

Jo: What's that disgusting smell? Why Blair, it's you!

Blair: I don't mean to be rude but...
Jo: I know, you just can't help yourself.

Blair: Jo, I just want you to know that you and Eddie have my blessing.
Jo: Why, that's nice Blair, you know what that means to me, ( smiling) Nothing!!!

Jo: Ya born, you live, you die, that's life.

It was a good episode, but I've always had one problem with it...

The episode was filmed in 1984. It is now 2001. I sit here typing on a computer from 1999. The computer which I am using couldn't do a tenth of the things that 1984 computer could.

Why can't I talk to my computer, and have my computer solve my problems for me? Huh?!?

If computers were that good in 1984, what's happened in the 15 years since to dumb 'em down? Shouldn't we be on mars by now with computers like that?!?! And please, don't tell me that the episode was meant to represent what things would be like in the future, because that episode was solidly grounded in 1984... Blair's hairstyle should tell you that much...

I'm going out and buying me a computer from 1984 now... I'm lonely, and need a companion who can solve my problems.
