As far I as remember, this is the first time we've seen Cheswick's parental units. Guess the writers couldn't come up with a storyline until now.

About the horses: was there a horse theme on NBC last night? There were horses in Ed and The West Wing. I was half expecting Lenny and Greene to gallop across the screen in the L&O opening.

actually we saw warren's parents in S1. he was being sued because he and a group of his friends broke into a house and a kid got hurt. the kid's parents blamed warren. i can't remember if we saw his mom, but i know that curtis armstrong was there as his dad.

Things that sucked about the ep - Eli and the stupid pie girl. Let them marry and get a show on the WB. Also, they had a perfect opportunity for a 10$ bet at the auction and blew it by not having one this episode :mad:

I really like this show.

I AM afraid that NBC will f**k around with it &/or put on "hiatus" like Boomtown [which is another show I recently added to my programming].

I do damn NBC's promo department though..

I don't have a problem with Eli. Don't have a problem with the pie lady. In fact, I don't think I have a problem with anyone...though, I am kinda upset I wasn't watching this show from the beginning..

My guess is because David Letterman likes Tom Green. Wasn't that long ago Dave had Tom Green guest host for the Late Show.

This is the second episode in a row that Phil actually made me laugh. I don't think that's happened since maybe the first season. Him in the jocky uniform :lol:

Carol's suspension was just idiotic. The rest of the show was ok. I was kind of expecting a letdown after the great show last week. I'm not too worried about them running out of material. Mike is a gold mine and they seem to be using him more so far this season. He must be off the crack pipe ;)

The season started without any fanfare. There wasn't even an ad in TV Guide for the season opener.

I realize I'm woefully late to this party, but I had to drop in and note that in <i>Ed</i>'s neverending struggle to <s>steal</s> "borrow" as much as they can from <i>SportsNight</i>, they argued about what is the "sport of kings."
