We discovered the show in reruns on USA Network (remember that?!) a few seasons after it started, and soon became fans. I remember thinking that it was one of the funniest shows I'd ever seen! The pilot, "Yankee White" ~ when Kate asked Gibbs how she could meet a guy if not at work, and Gibbs said, *totally* deadpan: "Church." There used to be a lot of that before Gibbs became the Voice of Doom.

I don't know whether or not this is connected to a case, but in next week's episode, according to IMDB, "[Lt.] Brady's son asks for a favor"!

I got a "vibe" from this scene ~ and I hadn't thought this way before ~ that Torres might be sweet on Knight, and maybe it's reciprocated? Not only does Torres admit that he'd like to be in a relationship, but also Knight says how much Torres supported her in breaking up with Jimmy and taking the California job. I hope this doesn't happen, because it's just too complicated (to say the least!), but I do like that Torres is starting to become more introspective and (gasp!) sensitive.

What I hate? most about those commercials? is the way she uptalks? every few words.

I knew which commercial you were talking about before I even hit the llink, because I have the same thought every time I see it. And it's barely even a swipe! If that actually works, then apparently I'm wasting a lot of deodorant!

Has it ever been mentioned whether Mark's bio-dad David pays child support, and if not, why not?

Countrygirl, I wish I could like your post a hundred times. So beautiful and perceptive. Thank you.

I absolutely agree with you ~ but I'm responding mostly to tell you how much I love your user name! One of the funniest "Lucy" episodes!

I've never been crazy about how they've "aged" Mandy Moore ~ she looks dowdy and uptight, with her super-straight bob of an unflattering strawberry-blonde color, and baggy cardigans. Even when she was newly widowed (and of course she was much younger then), her hair and face had some life to them. But I really could see the contrast between the almost-38-year-old Mandy, supposed to be 70, and 67-year-old Dey Young (Sally). Sally looked so much more vibrant than Rebecca. Interesting how they aged Mandy Moore and Jon Huertas for their roles, but hired an older actor to play Nicky.

Fun fact: Mark Indelicato, the actor who plays Damien, played Betty's fabulous young nephew Justin on "Ugly Betty."

Hey, as long as she's rolling to Bill Withers's song "Lovely Day," she can roll across the whole country! I don't watch the commercial, but I sure do listen to it.

I never thought of it that way, and I find that I agree with you. That said . . . Mateo *is* insufferable! But considering what he's gone through in his short life ~ not to mention the way Jane treats him like a little prince ~ it's quite understandable.

No you are not ~ I had the very same reaction to that last scene when Jack comes into Vance's office to check up on him! I just wonder whether their shared past is too much baggage for a romantic relationship to handle.

I've been meaning to post this same complaint for ages (but too busy watching TV, ha ha) ~ thank you, Margol! I've noticed this trend in commercials where comic actresses portray obnoxious versions of themselves that apparently are supposed to be madcap characters. For me, it started with Tina Fey and her American Express card. Then, Anna Kendrick for Hilton, and now Amy Poehler ("Oh, someone else wants a turn playing with the Xfinity remote? That's too bad, I'm comfy here!"). I can't fathom how this is supposed to enhance their careers or personas, but maybe that's not the point.

The look on that kid's face is purely "I. Own. You." Somebody needs a time out!
