"Perfect"

Okay, so I'm not familliar with this show much but I can say that this was a funny episode. I mean, before in New Orleans, I watched the show with the TV on mute since I was watching it until I was going to sleep, but now that I can pay attention, this is about the third time or less or more that I've seen a Home Movies episode in good or great volume.

Brendon wants to go to an acting class, but is kicked out after he interupts the teacher too much but eventually, he gets back in by showing the teacher a tape he made. In the end, a part of the video the teacher wasn't supposed to see showing him as a girl saying, "I'm a pretty lady" gets the teacher to cast him as a girl in the end of the episode.

Brendon's mom is doing a class in a university or college or something about writing and makes out with a student.

I thought this was a funny episode, especially the dinner scene. "Pass the please, peas" and all. Funny stuff.moreless
