I misssed those too!

I loved this episode. It was funny and creepy and I agree: how can we quibble about fire-breathing horses when successful human-equine transplants are acceptable?

Also? Ned was working that outfit tonight. They do need to make Chuck less annoying because I am starting to root for Olive. Although I loved the Olive/Chuck bonding and the simulataneous wee fists of "yay!"

"I do need to set out on my own. After all, I'm almost 40." heh.

So, who did cut the straps?

Did you notice when Ned was exiting . . . I can't remember which room - but he paused by the door and he was TALLER than the door frame.

Also, they could spend more time showing him baking. He looks good baking.

He looks good baking

except for when he's screwing up rolling out the pie crust /pilot gripe

He looked good in tonight's episode.

Also, I loved it when Olive was jumping on her bed in celebration. And that news story - - the transition "And now, kittens on parade" (I think.)

Hah, yes, I liked the "kittens on parade" line.

I really enjoyed this episode. I think it was Chi McBride's best yet; or maybe he's just growing on me. I've sometimes thought his line readings were a bit off in past episodes, but he was right on (and totally hilarious) in every scene tonight.

"Promise not to laugh?" "...No."

"How do you know I'm still single?"

"You wouldn't need all that bait if your belly was full of fish"

::covers cleavage::

Also, Olive hanging off that shovel a foot or so off the ground, and then the shot of her fingers twanging off the handle! She's too cute!

"Olive Snook loved to win..."

That made me think of msbelle.

New tag line!

oh, rats. That was my first thought too!

for some reason Olive shouting 'the old gray mare she ain't what she used to be...' made me giggle, but that was after I was smitten with small details again:

- the house that was stenciled on the outside with the same pattern as the upholstered chairs inside
- the monkeys.
- the sheer number of places a person can not be interred.
- the floor of Ned's old bedroom.

Not in love with Olive's new haircut. Makes her look older and too worldly for her technicolor role.

Chuck doesn't bother me, even all wide-eyed and blinky. The aunts are a riot: "I'll get my gun." "And I'll get the candy bowl!" Ah. There's a tag - maybe not the best tag (points up), but a good tag.

I watched the whole thing when I came home last night exhausted from a lonng day, lonnng after I should have been in bed, so I haven't retained nearly enough of it, but on the other hand I was laughing helplessly a whole lot....
