Okey dokey people, here I am catching up.
Last week:
Tuesday 1/7/03
The 70’s Show
“The Girl I Love”
Eric’s mom throws a dinner party for Fez’s new girlfriend. It turns into the battle of the sexes. Not the best ep ever but as usual it has its moments. Plus it was definitely a hoot seeing Hyde in a coat and tie. And bonus points for Jamie Farr.
“Over the Hills and Far Away”
Repeat from 11/19/02 but I’ve never seen it so I’m counting it as new. Cute ep. The kids visit college. Eric freaks out at the idea of Donna going to school away from him. Hyde finds himself turning down drunken college girl sex for Jackie. Eek! He’s being domesticated. Good!
Frasier
“Door Jam”
As usual, it’s not really the plot that amuses on Frasier but the interplay between characters. This week Niles and Frasier go crazy when they find out there is a spa that they “aren’t on the list” for. Once they sneak their way in, they find there’s a higher membership level. Together David Hyde Pierce and Kelsey Grammar are too funny. I love when they get the brother episodes. David Hyde Pierce continues to steal the show.
Less Than Perfect
“Claude’s Got a Secret”
Charlie and Claude struggle to keep their budding relationship secret from everyone. Cute but no bid kudos’ on this one. The high point was Lydia and her mentor being such a crappy mentor.
Wrap up:
This is the first season I’ve really watched The 70’s Show and I’m really having fun with it. Frasier continues it’s excellent ensemble work and Less Than Perfect is having a good if not spectacular first season.
