Something too much about this program is getting to be the same. I liked the earlier episodes when we were meeting the characters and finding out about their quirks. I don't think it's the show. I think it's the plots. They're a little stale.

I still enjoy the characters, but the plots seem pretty much the same and the characters act and do the same things. Very two dimensional especially Cox's Jules.

It was interesting to see what Andy does for a living and then to have what happened with Laurie was actually quite a coincidence. That whole story line was funny as was the Christmas lights on the bush and Ellie's reaction.

Some funny bits in this story tonight. I think they need to spice things up and move outside their comfort zone. Maybe a Travis school situation or a Jules work situation or maybe an actually romantic situation with Jules and Grayson. Just through some twists in there. Thanks for reading...moreless

- Jules: Laurie has plans too. What about you? Whose the lucky girl off your boink list who gets the golden ticket.
  Grayson: On Valentine's Day? None of them. That would imply caring. Wrong message.

  Grayson: Yeah. I do it for them.

- Ellie: You know, having Christmas lights up six weeks after Christmas is actually dangerous.
  Grayson: How so?
  Ellie: Because if you don't take them down I'm gonna feed them to you and then yank them out the other end like I'm starting a lawnmower.
  Grayson: I love our little talks.

- Travis: Now we're even.
  Jules: Travis, we'll never be even. Do I need to show you my scar from my C-section? It's got a hair growing in it now.
  (Bobby and Grayson flinch and gag)
  Jules: Come on, it's not that gross.
  Bobby: Yeah it is.
  Grayson: Knocked the wind out of me.
  Jules: Oh my God there's two of them.
  Grayson: Oh my God.

- Grayson: Happy Valentines Day.
  Jules: Look what you did.

  Ellie: You'll get yours my friend.
