Episode 4 - The Debut
(from TVGuide Online)
"The Cohens agree to be Ryan's guardians as long as he stays out of trouble, which could be a problem since Marissa's deb ball is looming and Luke is no longer the only escort option in town. Meanwhile, Jimmy's crimes begin to catch up with him, leading to a public---and very violent---revelation."

I hope the new girl comes back from her sailing trip - by the way, she was a most-welcome addition to the show. 
Adam Brody (Seth) was in top form, as usual.
Great music again tonight.
Fourth ep - fourth straight ep w/ a fight.
This show is great - cheesy, yes, but a little cheese never hurt anyone.

Another good episode. I thought Tate Donovan's character was going to commit suicide after the Debutante Ball until he got into the fight.
Marissa is slowly growing on me. I haven't really cared for her too much up until this point.
Seth is still the best part of the show. Frickin' hilarious.
Peter Gallagher did an excellent job again as well.

I like it as well. I thought that last night's episode was probably the best one so far. I want to see how the whole Jimmy thing plays out. I can see his wife leaving him in the future, so with them also being broke, Marissa will be in the same situation that Ryan was...

I was thinking Jimmy's wife (Melinda Clarke) will leave him, too (maybe she will take the younger daughter), but mostly because they don't show her anywhere in the introductory credits.

Yeah - I noticed that too. Unfortunate. Of course, maybe this means she can reprise her Lady Heather role on CSI now.
Another very entertaining episode. Hot chicks galore! Who was the one throwing that cookout party?

Great episode last night. Adam Brody kills me with all his one-liners - more often than not, he makes the show what it is.

I enjoyed it, although I am kinda tired of the "love triangle" aspect. It seems like the Marissa would either stop talking to Ryan, or he would get fed up with her boyfriend. I did like the new girl, and I was glad that the produces didn't put the two "bad" kids together.
I will admit that there is finally a show my wife watches that I don't mind watching.

The show has a death time slot though...Thursday nights against Will & Grace/Coupling and CSI. I am willing to bet that Fox will move this show pretty quickly to a better time slot.

True but keep in mind, 90210 started out on Thursday at 9 against a monster in Cheers. It was able to survive until they moved it to Wednesdays at 8 a couple years later.
