"Superb"

By mnman, Jan 23, 2012

I thought this was a superb everyone hates Chris. I was nice to see Greg's side of the family for the first time. Now if you wanna now what Greg's family looks like watch this episode i think its the only episode where that happens. Now this episode is about Greg staying over at Chris's house because his dad is out of town and Julius getting a job as a cab driver and he takes someone to Las Vegas. There were some laughes in it i had one small problem in this episode. I didn't like the fact when he left Chris asked he could stay again some other time and his family was like "No!" because they worked hard and they had to give up stuff. But minus that this was a superb Everyone hates Chris with a lot of laughes. I laughed at the part when Chris and Greg were dressed up as Caroton/ comic book characters. I laughed at the part where Chris gives Greg the tour (or something around that part i haven't seen this episode in a long time.) I laughed when Greg was tired at school and teacher said "OH my god he's drunk!". And i laughed at one part on the Julius scene but i forgot what it was. Overall 9.5/10.moreless

"Perfect"

By Chris_Clarke, Sep 19, 2008

Have you ever wished your best friend would stay with you forever? If so, then this is the episode for you. In "Houseguests," Greg's dad is out of town for a week and he doesn't want to stay with his grandma because she hosts German parties and he has to dance in lederhosen. Funny, isn't it? Then, with his mom's permission, Chris invites Greg to stay over at his house. During Greg's stay, Chris and his family have to eat vegetarian meals because regular food might kill Greg. Chris also has to put up with Greg's strange habit of dressing up as characters such as Optimus Prime, Darth Vader and Robin before going to bed every night. As days go by, Chris and Greg's friendship starts to crumble, but in the end, they make up and become friends again.

The sub-plot has Julius on his first week as a cab driver, and he has to take a passenger named Eddie (played by Tommy Davidson) to Las Vegas for $1000. The problem is that Eddie is a fugitive from the law, but Julius doesn't know that until much later. As he and Julius travel across the country through places such as Ohio, Denver and Nebraska, Eddie continues his crime spree; however, when the two reach their destination, they are caught in a police stand-off and Eddie's girlfriend appears and convinces him to surrender. Afterwards, Julius returns home without the $1000 he was supposed to get from the cab fare.

Overall, this is one of the best episodes of the show ever written.moreless

Greg stays over with Chris's family with hilarious results.

"Superb"

By TVvuer69, Apr 01, 2008

It was good to see Greg with Chris's family for once. It was a rare opportunity since he's only seen with Chris at the Corleone school. Chris invites him to stay with the family when Greg's father goes out of town and he dreads staying with his grandma because she usually hosts German-themed parties and he ends up dancing in lederhosen (Funny flashback). But the boys' friendship is tested when Rochelle seems to start treating Greg better than Chris, and Drew and Tonya have to watch Nova with him instead of their favorite TV shows and have to eat vegetarian meals while he's staying with them. Chris also has to contend with Greg's quirks like dressing up as various cartoon and comic book characters like Optimus Prime, Clark Kent, Darth Vader, and Robin before going to sleep. That itself seems to be an adventure with Greg's snoring and even sleep dancing to Flashdance. Greg himself has to deal with the various cast of characters in Bed-Stuy when Chris gives him the tour. Things get strained when Chris get bothered catering to all of Greg's needs and Greg has to get up very early to get to school on time. This leads to the eventual bickering between the two. But they eventually realize that they're from different worlds and make up, becoming friends again. Chris hopes Greg can stay with them another time, but the family declines big time for they don't want to put up with him again.

The B-story has Julius working as a cab driver who picks up a passenger (played by Tommy Davidson from In Living Color fame) who wants him to drive all the way to Las Vegas. Unknown to him, he's a fugitive who's committed various robberies and continues his crime spree along the way. Of course, Julius is still unaware of this until they get to their destination. He gets caught in a standoff when the police surround them when they arrive. Luckily, the thug's girlfriend convinces him to surrender. Julius gets arrested as well, but it looks like his name was cleared and was able to return home, but without the 1000 dollars he was supposed to get from the cab fare. This adventure made him more appreciative of his family as they were happy to see him again. Overall, an excellent episode and a rare one where the entire cast interacts with each other.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: Greg's "Robin" costume was the modern version, first introduced in the 90s. Back in the 80s (when this show is set) D.C. comics still had Robin wearing his old costume (the one with the green underwear rather than long green tights and solid yellow cape rather than the cape that is yellow on the outside with a solid black lining).

Greg: It's a show on PBS about science as it relates to the universe. Drew: Cool! That's almost like MacGyver. Chris: Just like Lawrence Welk is like Soul Train. Rochelle: Chris, Greg is your guest. Let him watch NOVA. Gelato? (serving him dessert) Chris: (narrating) Is that Italian for Jell-o? Greg: Thanks! Chris: (narrating) I thought having Greg stay over would be fun.
