    I love this show, I don't know why they took it off-air. This episode is so funny, just like all of the episodes. It starts off where Keri and Bridget won't let their mother do anything, C.J. deep fries the turkey and Cate brings their school principal home. Then grandpa is trying to fix the T.V. and is resenting Ed, while Rory is mad at his principal for confiscating his football. In the end grandpa and Rory like the principal, Cate asks him out and Bridget and Keri have to make frozed pies. I don't think its the story line that is good about this show, it the charactors and the humor and how its just so simple and out loud stupidly funny. I wish they would make more episodes, the show should go on!moreless
