8 Simple Rules

Now Bridget's character has always been based on the fact she is beautiful, blonde and not too bright but in this episode it shows how cunning she is.



when her parents make her get a job, she gets one that gives her discount. she may not have learning the lesson but she definately used her brains for it!



even though bridget is not too bright she always is cunning. when she gets her paycheck it turns out she actually owes money and cate is not too happy when she finds out she was planning to use the credit card.



although any other parents would be mad, they are proud of her, like i think everyone was and surprised she actually managed to work. which for bridget it seems a big surprise even in the third episode she seems like the person who gets everything without doing nothing.



good episode. i would of enjoyed seeing rory more in this. he always has a good side line story and it would be nice to see an episode focused on him

Bridget had decided to take back some clothes from Carrie so that she could cut them up and use them for a car wash. When Paul finds out about this, he tells Bridget that she needs to get a job so she can learn the value of a dollar. She ends up taking a job at the local clothing store that caters to Bridget's crowd. Paul and the rest of the family show up to see how she is doing on her first day. It turns out that she is handling the job really well. For the rest of the week, she works a lot and is able to get the clothes at a 40% discount. This becomes a problem when her first paycheck shows that she actually owes the store over $400 because of these purchases. She decides to use the emergency credit card, but Cate finds out. When it is revealed what Bridget did, Paul and Cate are disappointed but are still proud that she is able to work the job. They cover the bill until Bridget can pay them back.



This was an average episode with a couple of good lines. The plot line was predictable and, though her acting was good, I am not a fan of Bridget-centric episodes. Rory's side story was really good and I wish they could have fleshed that out a bit. Overall, it is nice to see Bridget working a job, which I hope they keep her doing since it would build some character for her.

Its a really great episode that i would recommend to anyone who has never seen it.



PROS:

1) Bridget has to get a job. This was quite enjoyable since Bridget isn't all that responsible.

2) It was funny too! I loved how Paul was like "Hey no fighting!....so close to the tv."

3) I like the whole credit card/too many clothes twist thing in it.

4) The thing with Rory having a snake in his room i think, priceless!



CONS:

1) I'm not incredible happy how they ended it.



Overall, i can't wait to see this on tv again! Watch out for it if you haven't seen it yet.

I think that it was one of the best episodes of 8 simple rules that was ever made! it was one of my fav. episodes, i think that it rocked! (go 8 simple rules!) for my first job i hope that it is something like Bridgets because i liked the store, her work habbits, and especialy the clothing! but my one question is why Kerry did not want to admit that she liked the store that Bridget was working in before she did admit that she did like the store that Bridget was working at. But overall i think that it was great.

Right from the beginning of this episode, the daughters, Kaley Cuoco (Bridget) and Amy Davidson (Kerry), steal the show with their comedic talent. Exhibiting timeless physical comedy to the perfect delivery of their lines, I'm eager to see more.



I hope to see some more fun-to-watch fashions from both of them too!



Experiencing parental growing pains, Paul Hennessy (John Ritter) exposes more of his sweet and tender side. As he laments to his wife that, due to the extra work hours Bridget's been taking on, he misses having her around.



Katey Sagal continues to be under-utilized in this episode.
