Forgot all about BP. I hope I did not delete it from my Replay Channel list. BP has been very entertaining this season.

Sounds like a good one tonight
Spoiler:
although I don't care for the Julian storyline.

For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for BP.

I really enjoyed this show at the outset, but the last season and a half have not done much to improve its audience. Im continuing to watch, but one thing for sure next season will be the first in a while where DEK doesnt have a single show on (outside of syndication).

I was really expecting the "slow clap" at the end. Surprised they didn't go there.

There was some great lines in the episode.

Ms Torres: "What am I supposed to say to my students about their civil rights?"
Harper: "Well, since you teach PHYSICS, it's shouldn't come up!"



Ms. Cooke: "Why did you tell Harper about my SAFE club?"
Ms. Souter: "Well, you has SIGNS up all over school, I didn't think it was a secret!"

I almost felt like the writers were anticipating the snarky things the viewers would say at their screens.

That was the line of the night right along with Lipschitz telling the girl the boys were harrasing her because they all had small penis's.

I was hoping they were going to Lipschitz bust the umbrella over the kid who threw the bottles head since that's more in his character then just pushing the kid.

I can't believe that Ronnie didn't get some type of administrative beat down.

Lipschitz was great.

That was a good episode and I loved Ronnie in those boots.

I'm in total agreement regarding last season's American Idol wannabe crapfest...but this season has been a vast improvement over that.

I still say this show should be moved back to Mondays. If the HS population is part of FOX's desired demo for BP, why put it on Fridays? The kids just spent a WEEK in school, does FOX really think they'd want to spend one more hour watching a show about it??

not a bad episode. too bad this show probably won't make it past this season, b/c Chi McBride is one hell of a talented actor. That speech almost made me believe it was real.

Good solid episode - this is one of the few network shows that I still watch with any regularity.

What happened to Dennis Miller? He was on the last episode before they took a two week break, and then he's gone. Id figure he would have something to say about this episode.

I thought Dennis Miller had only signed on for a few episodes. It is odd that they never really gave his character a proper exit.

It was good and all, but I think that they could have done sooo much more with it. I dunno, Well I still enjoyed it.
