Can anyone tell me why the actress who plays Lauren Davis is first in the opening credits over the actor who plays Steven Harper? Harper is the principal, he runs the school. All major decisions go through him, or, at least, they are supposed to. He has the final say in all the goings-on in the school. I just don't get how a teacher among many teachers gets credited first over the principal.

I can understand this during the first season when characters were just being developed, but in season two? Why?

. My sentiments exactly. At least we were warned at the beginning of the episode.

Because they list the credits of the ACTORS. You do understand they are actors and not real school personnel don't you? As to why the actors are listed in that order I'd say talk to their agents. And often an actor would rather be listed towards the end than lost in the middle of the list.

I also had a LOL moment when Guber met the floor with his butt.

I find the whole Guber-Lauren thing strange considering the initial start of the series 2 seasons ago when Lauren thought Guber was basically harassing her, but now 2 years later, with a meeting of the minds, she's receptive to Guber's advances. Strange line between being thought of as a "stalker" or an acceptable "courter".

Senate got in a good line or two (when Steven was all flustered about Robin). The sarcasm Steven gave the Slipper/Shoe lady was classic (I'm sure the crew must have busted out laughing on the set after they filmed that scene).

Where did a public school get the funding for such elaborate prom decorations? Must have had to take funding away from the library or something.

That was the best scene If he had said "Smell this shoe!" at the very end of that speech, I'd be .

I thought the ending was good especially with the prom king asking the prom queen to dance. I can't imagine it ever happening in real life but it was a very noble thing for the king to make the queen feel like a queen for a night.

Ugh, this show becomes more like Ally McBeal all the time...

They needed one more thing for that ending...

Everyone hold hands ... and SING...

What is there to question? I literally rolled my eyes when the King asked the Queen, "don't I get my dance?"

Even that Wicked Witch music is straight out of Ally McBeal.

They would always play it when Nell or Ling would flit around the office.
