OMG Chi had so many good lines this week.

Loved Olive jumping on the shovel to open the tomb.

Emerson's laughing and chuckling always makes me LOL.

To each his own. She does nothing for me. Maybe less than nothing.

That wasn't really my point though. What's the show about?

Another great episode. Lots of great lines in this one.

I kept laughing at the work "Jock-Off 2000". Yea, I know...

It's about an hour.



It's a fantasy - has to be, based on the premise - but it's well-written, well-acted, well-everything else. If you liked Edward Scissorhands, you'd probably like this.

It was cool to see the guy who plays "Matthew" (Hamish Linklater) from The New Adventures of Old Christine on the show.

This episode was great and I liked how they worked the “Halloween” parts into Ned’s story. Those Aunts always crack me up and one of them calling Ned's Father a "Jackass" was pretty funny. The Bartender telling Emerson to get out of the Bar was great and Chi's reactions were classic.

I like all of the characters on the show and although Chi’s character (Emerson) isn’t as well developed as Ned and Chuck; he’s my favorite, he’s the best comic relief guy around.

Chi McBride is so great in this role. I love his remarks whenever he breaks up the lovey-dovey moments between Chuck and Ned.

The only thing I'm sad about is having to wait two weeks for the new episode.

Well, after the 3rd episode I had posted that I really liked the show but I found the fast paced witty/ironic dialog annoying. Over the past two episodes they cut a lot of that down and I've since have been enjoying the show much much more. I'm also glad they've decided they don't need to explain Ned's abilities in full detail the beginning of each episode now.

Here's a theory I saw on another board. I don't think it will end up being the case, but it was an interesting idea:

Spoiler:
Maybe Ned's father had the same power that he has, and at some point very early in Ned's life (before his earliest memory), Ned died and was resurrected by his father. Thus his father sent him away because he couldn't touch him.

It doesn't seem that likely, since Ned's father could have just told him the truth, but I still thought it was interesting.

Spoiler:
has it ever been clarified whether the person/animal that Ned saves/resurrects will ever age from that point on? It seems that Chuck knew Ned's dog from childhood. That dog would have to be 30+ years old now unless it doesn't age

OK, someone's gotta find the clip of KC on Ferguson. I've loved her ever since I saw her as guests on various talk shows, even before the whole "Kristin" debacle.

Prior to this episode, I thought she was cute. After seeing her with the long hair, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I've been converted.

Someone finally posted it. Not the best quality, but here it is:

This is so hard. I have watched them all and I am ready to dump it, but it looks like I am the only one. I generally cling to losers long after they should have been canned. I think the last show I didn't stick out was John From Cincinnatti.

I just don't get the appeal here.

I bailed midway through this last episode. This show was too much. Too much narration. Too much whimsy. Too desperate to be cutesy, quippy. Too sugary, sickeningly sweet. Even the narrator's voice was starting to bother me. Which is a shame, because I love the cinematic feel of the show, but pretty much everything else was driving me nuts.

Must say - Kristin's attractiveness level just went up for me after watching that interview with Ferguson - she's funny as hell and pretty damn witty. She never really caught my attention before. Awesome haircut too.

Best show on tv. I haven't been this hyped on a show since Buffy.

The 'bait and fish' line was brilliant!

If you liked that, check out this...just a small sampling of the huge talent she packs in that little frame.

And here's a cute little song she did last time on Ferguson's show:

I'm loving the show, but I can easily see how it wouldn't appeal to a lot of people. It seems like a lot of what some users are complaining about are what "make" the show for me (whimsy, narration, etc). Different tastes, yeah?

Kristin is definitely one of the best talk show guests around. I can't remember her not being entertaining.
