  • A good Kids in the Hall reunion episode.

    9.0
    "Superb"
    By zenigame, May 25, 2006 Report Abuse
    Even if you have absolutley no idea who The Kids in the Hall are, it was still a morally good episode. It taught everyone that it really isn't good to lie. I could tell who was playing who right when this episode came out! I could tell that Scott Thompson was playing Pleakley's mom because Scott's voice sounded like the KITH character Fran, and Bruce McCulloch was definitley playing Pixley because his voice was portrayed to sound like the KITH character Kathy. With Dave and Mark, it was just a guess. Overall, this is a good episode for anyone who watches this show and Kids in the Hall.moreless

    I feel like hearing a song whenever I watch this and experiments are cute anyway again.
    If the Black Eyed Peas would do a song it would be " Don't Lie "

    and I like this anyway!

  • The old 'But I'm already married' facade? Seen it.

    5.1
    "Mediocre"
    By Pyreo, Aug 16, 2005 Report Abuse
    I'm not a fan of the 'arranged marriage' storyline we've all seen soooo many times. Sure, the plot works with the experiment's ability, but I don't think this experiment's function was invented for any other reason than to be in this episode.

    It's always nice to get to learn more about characters and see their backgrounds. Pleakley's family COULD have been done a lot worse. And parts of the episode were quite well written.

    But still, even without watching the ep, you know how things are going to turn out. It's an overdone plot no matter which way you look at it.

    And they're still falling into the traps of applying human features to aliens who have no need for it. The Pleakleys all look old in a human way, and the 'bride to be' that Pleakley's mother picks out has too many obvious 'human ugly' features.moreless

    • During the ending credits, Mark McKinney's name was spelled as Marc McKinney. Edit
    • Pleaky's first name is Wendy. Edit
    • Stitch put Fibber in the dryer to muffle his beeping. (The dryer was laying in its front side on the floor trapping fibber inside.) In the begining of the episode Jumba said that Fibber was only programmed to detect lies. In the scene, Fibber somehow lifts up the dryer and threws it across the room, but it was never shown how he lifted it. It just showed the dryer thrown across the room. Fibber was programmed to detect lies not lift up weight! How could Fibber lift up the dryer himself? Edit
