How can that be? Rarely was there an episode that was Andy-centric. And he didn't have the character role nor the strong presence to be central. He's just a nice guy from the west who wants to do something "good" in the midst of the wackiness around him. In retrospect, he's the "straight" guy (comedy terms) in the show and provides balance to the loony characters and situations around him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-64344131494628796842010-11-11T03:28:49.723-05:002010-11-11T03:28:49.723-05:00Love this episode.

A lot of chemistry and they fit together well.

In the pilot, Jennifer is not dumb, exactly, but clearly someone who's been hired for her looks and doesn't do a whole lot (and she refers to Mr. Carlson as a "jerk"). But by the second episode, they already added a line where Mr. Carlson notes how intelligent and supportive she is. There were lines/scenes in the early episode that indicated how the character could have gone another way, but basically her character was already set in the first 13 episodes.Jaime J.

How much of this is true?VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-65429809260531186232008-08-14T17:39:00.000-04:002008-08-14T17:39:00.000-04:00That's the first time I've watched something other...That's the first time I've watched something other than porn on Porkolt!Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
