Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Kiernan Shipka ("Mad Men") Makes a Cameo Appearance, and Nora Dunn ("Saturday Night Live") Guest Stars

"Parent Trap..." - Type-A June is operating at her highest potential when she lands a demanding internship, juggles two jobs and adds on more responsibilities. But she meets her match when she's tasked with cleaning up one of Chloe's incredibly irresponsible, half-baked ideas. Meanwhile, James is psyched to have landed a classic body-swap movie, co-starring the talented Kiernan Shipka, and dives head first into the research, on "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 (9:31-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

I'm not gonna lie, I like this show but I recognize it's stupid and pointless.

I guess that's a good enough description. I didn't feel this episode as much as the prior two. So far, I've liked each a little bit less than the one before it. I realize Chloe is supposed to be over the top and all that, but it just didn't ring as true to me this episode. It felt even more caricatured. I don't know how to explain it. It didn't feel as real to me as the previous two. It felt more forced or something. I'm really on the fence about this one, but I'll probably see this first season through.

I can see Chloe asking June at some point...."do you wanna make out?"

LOL


June will probably agree to it since she is so submissive and a airhead

Loved the pilot, liked the second episode but this was terrible

The only thing that didn't suck was the Beek

This episode was pretty bad, Beek is carrying the show.

I found the premise enjoyable for this episode, but there weren't a lot of laughs from me. Overall, it wasn't really good.

Van Der Beek is hilarious on this show though.

Awful episode that pushed me very close to not watching anymore.

I watched all three episodes today. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The Beek is definitely the best part of the show. I've liked Krysten Ritter since Veronica Mars and think she's hot. I'm in for the remainder of the season.

If I see anymore kids on this show I;m done with it. There is no need for a kid to be the focal point on a adult comedy

Anytime I see Krysten Ritter I always think of her choking on her own vomit.

That's pretty much how I felt too. Everything I liked in the pilot has disappointed me as the show goes on, and everything I didn't like seems amplified. You can't have a character like Chloe who has no redeeming qualities. It doesn't work for me. I'm out. Season pass deleted.

And it does seem kind of cartoonish because no women in her right mind would allow the things to go on and deal with the crap from Chloe in real life. There is no woman out there as stupid as June-lol
