Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! This is the worst episode of all-time! This should be the episode voted the funniest episode that wasn't supposed to be funny. Scary, too. Powersuits everywhere *shudder*

That red one-piece number worn by Jo in tonight's episode was horrible...poor Nancy who picked her wardrobe?? I didn't understand what Jo saw in Flyman....he seemed pretty flaky...of course, I didn't understand what she saw in Rick either, lol.

Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.

I think you're right Cokies about this episode being inferior, although it's not the worst. Yea, Flyman and Jo looked alike in this one. You hate it even more than an episode from Season One, or "Brian and Sylvia?"

06-11-2001, 11:34 PM

Also, did anyone notice how TECHNICALLY inferior some of this show was? The film they used at the end to show the supposed hurricane was all scratchy and out of focus. Yuck! Also, when the handyman guy opened the door for Blair, did anyone notice that it was PERFECTLY calm outside the door even though there was a supposed hurricane? (That is an exterior walkway if you look earlier in the show) Also, why do we NEVER hear the wind outside except at the very end? And how DO hurricanes form in like 2 hours? People usually have at least a DAY's worth of warning. Give me a break! Not a very convincing hurricane. I really hate to nitpick this, but the technical goofs distracted a lot from the plot.

Not to mention the fashion! Yuck! That red thing Nancy McKeon was wearing made her look fat IMO. And that silver thing the lead guitarist was wearing....well we won't even go there. I think I saw that on Battlestar Galactica or perhaps Dr. Who.

All in all, a very mediocre show, although Blair's crawling around to get away from that creep WAS a riot...

Word. NOBODY knows what she saw in Rick. It's a pity, really.

Season One didn't really bother me that much. But you're right, "Brian and Sylvia" is pretty bad. At least no one had a fashion problem then.

Yea, I saw that...I suspected that it was a clip from an old film.

Good point! I used to live in Florida and I don't remember hurricane warnings being THAT short. That sounds more like a tornado!

True, he had nothing much to offer, except that I'll admit he wasn't bad-looking. But me? I don't want a cute bum!

Livin' La Vida Peekskill · 06-12-2001, 04:55 PM

Did anybody notice that Flyman and Jo just about looked the same in the episode?
