I was kind of weary about the Sarah/Mr. Cyr thing but they are sooooo cute. Lauren and Peter were awesome in the scene where they were talking about Drew. That's all I can really say since I only look up at the TV when I hear Lauren's voice lol.

Ready for bed but I just wanted to say that tonight was also very enjoyable. Not as funny as I thought last weeks was but still pretty good.

Amber using Sarah's paper is hysterical. My mom couldn't believe Sarah was going to rat out Amber!! My mom obviously has no concern for plagerism

Drew/Adam/Max - such sweet scenes. Esp. at the end.

Haddie and her BF - both annoying!

Find it odd that in one epi we get the grandmother and in another we get the grandfather but rarely have them all together.

And this issue w/ the teacher isn't going to be very good in the end.

A more serious episode but quite enjoyable.

I love Drew. I just want to reach out and hug him.

I really like the relationship between Adam and Sarah. They are believable as siblings.

And, once again, Raquel. Ugh!

LOL! That is very, very funny, Amanda!

I liked this episode, though maybe not quite as much as last week's. I do think this show is settling into a nice pace and is starting to do a good job of spreading the storylines around.

I really like the relationship between Sarah and Adam. I actually do think they work well as siblings.

Not sure about the whole Mr. Cyr thing yet. I can see why Sarah would be attracted to him though. I mean, he sees in her something that her teachers back in school didn't see. Pretty much exactly what Amber could use right now.

I'm getting a little bored with the Crosby has a kid storyline. Let's just get on with it already!

Julia is so pushy. And yet you just can't help but feel for her. She would drive me crazy in real life though. LOL

Did I hear this correctly? When Sarah realized that Amber had plagiarized her paper, did she call her what I think she did? I can't imagine calling your daughter that. I'm not a big fan of that word. LOL

ETA: Oh, and I missed Zeek so much! Him not being there was half the reason this episode wasn't as funny as last week. That's ok though, it doesn't have to be funny all the time- just so long as it is engaging, which it was.

Gilmore Girls-parenthood

Crosby tells Sara last that he has a kid and she takes it badly and not seriously like Lorelai did with Luke.

Sara meet's people at the diner just like in Gilmore Girls.

Crosby knows it's his kid just like Luke totally though April was his when he first met her?

AMY SHERMAN PALLADINO HASN'T CALLED PARENTHOOD WRITER'S TO TELL THEM TO STOP TAKING HER IDEA'S AND SOME OF HER DIALOG ESPECIALLY THE WAY SARA-LAUREN GRAHAM SAYS SOMETHING'S AND IT SOUND'S EXACTLY LIKE GILMORE GIRLS DIALOG.

Haha, Debbie. I thought she called her a 'witch with a B' too. I was really shocked, I can't imagine my mom ever calling me that. I was hoping that I just misheard.


GilmoreGirl09 - Say whaaaat? lol.

I thought it was a good episode overall.

I looooved the scene between Lauren and Peter after he cancelled on Drew. They were both awesome.

Something was weird about Haddie tonight. It might have been the acting, but she seemed so cliche and over the top "teenager" tonight, especially with her reactions to her boyfriend's texts.

I love how the flow is settling in now. The pace doesn't seem forced anymore it has a natural pattern to it. I loved the beginning when the parent thought Sarah was Haddie's mother and then their reactions when he found out it was Amber lol. I also like the teacher storyline how they are starting to leave a little cliffhanger. And Drew...too cute! I was totally behind Julia, I woulda done the same thing with the kid...what little girl doesn't wanna be princess!? I still do lol.

Honestly, I haven't been all that impressed with Sarah Ramos' acting.

Just ignore her. She's trolling.

I love Lauren even more after every episode Her scene with Peter about Drew. Amazing! I was waiting for her to cry, but she just kept yelling and I was like "GO Lauren!" I really loved that. And I love that Sarah and Adam seem to be so close. I love how they work together.

Julia/Erika still isn't working for me, but Joel is a hottie, so I can take it And Racquel. Giiiiirl. She needs to step off. She's a creeper and I really felt so horrible during the Princess thing. Every girl should get to be a princess.

Dax isn't doing it for me either. I just can't feel for Crosby. Not yet.

Sarah/Mr. Cy. I kind of love it. I didn't want to b/c it seems so cliche, but I really loved Jason in this role. And the previews for next week. EEK!

Drew. I kind of wasn't sure in the beginning if it was him wanting to play with Adam... or if he felt some sort of obligation to Max b/c Max would only listen to him. But I like the whole looking up to Adam thing. Some great stories there.

Haddie/Steven. Ugh. Annoying as hell. And calling everyone by their first names?? I wish we had gotten the scenes where this kid found out this was ok to do, otherwise Adam shoulda smacked him upside the head, "Mr. Braverman, you mean???"

Aaanyway. Still enjoying myself

But she doesn't want to be a princess.

And isn't Sarah oh-so-subtle in telling Mr. Cyr where she works? Smooth move.

ETA: And how about Adam's reaction when Haddie and Steve fought? Classic!

Hahah, yes I loved his reaction.

Yeah, but I wasn't sure if she really didn't want to be a princess, or if her little friend had bullied her into feeling that way.

I think that's something that I feel a lot of on this show. There's a lesson in there somewhere and they tell me what it is at the end, but sometimes I just can't quite figure it out/don't know that I feel the same. Like we were supposed to feel that Julia was a control freak, and yes she is... but I didn't get that from the whole Princess situation. Not at all.

I LOVE this show

Drew literally makes me long to have a kid - he's just the sweetest, most sensitive, messed up little thing. I'm totally in the team who just wants to hug him!

I loved Sarah shouting at Adam about him - again I agree, they have SUCH a great dynamic. I do really see them as a tight brother and sister, I just kinda wish that they weren't cause their chemistry is INCREDIBLE!!! Lauren's face when she was screaming at him?!!! So intense

And yeah, she called Amber the "B" word I don't know if it's different over here or whatever but I've definitely been called that by my mum on numerous occasions and I believe i've slung it back at her a few times too. I guess we just tend to curse a little more over here

Steve is a douche

And GilmoreGirl09 - how bout you leave the moderator of this board alone (who clearly CAN tell you what to and what not to post) and you go away and try to learn how to spell "Sarah"? I thought you were a fan? Get the character right often?!
