This episode was great as are all of the others. I can't get over how well all of the girl work off of eachother. They all have great comedic timing. And of course I loved the fact the Joel brough Rose flowers after her performance. *sigh* best couple on the show (not that they are a couple haha)

Another well written installment of what has quickly become my favorite show.

This was yet another wonderful installment of what has come to be my favorite show.

In this episode, we got to see a lot of each one of the sisters, which is always a plus. Not only did we get to see them together a lot, but separately as well, letting us better get to know the sisters and their dynamic.

I particularly enjoyed watching Rose squirm when trying to uninvite her family to the play she was performing in, Anne's scenes about seeing Danny with other people were comical and heart-warming, Bob's attempts to be "Mr. Maternity Mom" were hilarious, and Marjee's constant state of homelessness ;) is also enjoyable to watch.

Can't wait until the next episode.moreless

Very very originally written/directed.

I loved how Ann threw that Twisler and smacked Danny in the back of the head and called her dad a slut in front of the entire concert crowd. "My anger absorbed my pee." that was funny but what really made it was not just Bob asking about anger really is able to absorb urine or not, but Ginnie's facial reaction to that absurd question.

Marjee is incredibly un-moved and not embarrased at all about Rose's nudity..............LMAO!........."When did her breast get bigger than mine!?"moreless

Anger absorbs pee?

By DoNotCrossCSI, Nov 01, 2005

What a great episode! Once again, a great plot was introduced and a dilemma with it. It is still outrageously funny at times. I really hope that the producers can keep up the good work that they have been doing so far. This isn't my favorite episode but it was still pretty good.
