What did everyone think of this episode? Personally, I think that it is one of the best so far! It was all hilarious! There were so many good lines! Jo riding her motorcycle in a dress was pricless. I laugh every time I think about it!

Blair: Well, well, well. Looking for the Easter Parade?

Marie: Young lady, I'm not used to being dealt with in such a manner!
Jo: Sorry, it's the only manner I've got.

Jinny: i think i am going to give up men
Magda: you, give up sex?
Jinny: i didn't say i was giving up sex, i just said i was giving up men! to tell you the truth i kinda like the idea of becoming intamate with something that comes with a money-back gaurentee!

Jinny: You sure he's still up and moving around there, Cap?
Captin: Jinny do you really think that a crack about the age of your commanding officer is the smartest thing you could say under the circumstances
Jinny: umm.. probley not
Captin: thats what I thought

i personally didnt enjoy it as much... yes it had its funny moments but i thought it was kinda dumb how that marie lady was just trying to buy jo's friendship... well there are better episodes of FOL out there... season 4 is my big kicker... maybe that's why... but i can't WAIT for season 5!! It is the next best next to season 3!!! and all of my fav eps are in season 5! (well most of my fave eps come from there)

------------------
jo: mrs. g gone on ahead I KNOW i can fix the problem

I'm gonna climb onto my soapbox and say that as a former motorcycle enthusiast, I'm very impressed with how socially responsible NBC and the FOL were in the 80's. Whenever Jo mentioned her bike, her helmet was always near by. For any of you out there who ever want to take up motorcycling, please please please be smart! Wear your helmet. Wear leather. It's not just a fashion statement, it's part of being a responsible biker.

OK, I'm off my soapbox. This episode was not the one I was expecting. I was remembering a different episode that I got confused with this one. Now I've gotta go and read all the episode guides until I figure out which episode I was thinking of.

I did'nt think this episode was that great, cause I had seen it before, it's okay. There are many others coming up that are much better. (i.e. Teacher's Pet, Magnificent Obsession, Take My Finals Please, Graduation, etc) Not to mention season 5. That dress still makes me laugh hysterically!

This episode was too funny! The funniest part was Jo in that dress and part shoes. She looked like something out of the 1800's. The dress, the hair, the helmet--Ha Ha Ha!

Tootie: You look like punk Shirley Temple.
