07:00 Stacked
07:30 Two Guys And A Girl
08:00 Aliens In America
Stacked. Episode 15. Harold's daughter shows up for a visit, with sleazy new boyfriend in tow. Lots of laughs in this one as the writers weave several plots around the visiting boyfriend: He hypnotises Katrina (a hilarious Marissa Jaret Winokur) into thinking Stuart in really Jude Law in disguise, hits on Skyler and annoys the heck out of Harold (who holds back his opinions for fear of driving his daugher further into the creeps arms).
Two Guys And A Girl. Season 3, Episode 5. A serious contender for Best Ever Episode. Pete tries to treat everyone to a football game but fights about clothes, weddings, food, etc. mean that nobody ever gets out of the apartment for the whole day. All six regulars (including the adorable Jillian Bach) are constantly on-screen and the laughs never stop. Not for a second. Best bits? Sharon doing the Money Dance; Pete repeatedly ditching poor Irene; Sharon and Ashley competing over outfits; and on and on. I've seen this many times and I still laugh like a first time viewer.
Aliens In America. Episode 6 is yet another episode where Justin and Raja have a fight, and make up at the end. Hmm...
Outside of that tedium, the storylines/characters are good. The boys are on a float committee and all the other kids are funny. Meanwhile, on the home front, the Mum is having a panic attack about her advancing years and the Dad is having his very own panic attack about his daughter's advancing years (i.e. her blossoming into womanhood, something no TV Dad is ever ready for. Especially in sitcoms.
Highlight? Two Guys And A Girl.
