Notes

add »
The first time this episode aired, it scored fourth in its timeslot. This show usually does better than that, but FOX's American Idol and NBC's special re-airing of Friends probably stole most of 8 Simple Rules' audience. (edit)
This episode begins Jonathon Taylor Thomas' three-episode arc on the show as Jeremy, Bridget's study partner and potential love interest. (edit)
Starting with this episode David Spade joins the cast and is listed in the opening credits, rather than the ending credits as a special guest star. (edit)
Tape Date: Friday, 16th January 2004. (edit)
Re-aired: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. (edit)

Quotes

Bridget: Guy can’t actually have a girl friend, right?
Cate: A smart, cute, thoughtful guy with a bright future getting a date in high school? I doubt it. (edit)
Bridget: Kerry, I live for Valentine’s Day. It’s a day set aside for beautiful girls.
Kerry: So you don’t think that unattractive people fall in love?
Bridget: Kerry, that’s not love. That’s company. (edit)
C.J.: I remember in high school I needed a duffle bag to carry all the cards I got. Oh you don’t believe me. I may not be much now as a result of some hard and yes questionable living. But back in high school I was buff, young, and tan. Good looking. I was the man.
Kerry: Oh yeah, show us your yearbook.
C.J.: The man was sick on picture day. (edit)
Jeremy: You're not as dumb as you look.
Bridget: Hey, you're not as dull as you look.
Jeremy: Well, look at you. A grammatically correct insult. (edit)
Bridget: My mom's all worried about college, but look at me. You know I'm going to marry well.
Jeremy: And often. (edit)
