"Perfect"

By SeinfeldMan, Feb 10, 2008 Report Abuse

This was the best episode ever. It's good to see Wanda Sykes as a regular cast member. It's good to see JLD again. This episode proved that it's a great tradtional sitcom. This was great way to start off the new season. This episode was worth the wait. I waited for a pretty long time. CBS should be satisfied with the ratings too. Christine and Daniel belong together! Julia is great in playing Christine. Also, Blair Underwood is nominated for an awarad playing on the show. I am looking forward to the other episodes. This was one of the funniest episodes!!!!! PRESSURE!!!! LOLmoreless

This, for me, is a classic and great episode for Christine. The plot, writing, jokes and character development really were solid and I was so relieved the show came back as strong or stronger than it left. I love having Wanda as a regular now as that should add some excitement and hilarity to the plots. I thought the brief part with Marly and Lindsay was also solid and I thought that was probably the best scene from the episode. But the best quote was from Matthew: 'Yeah it was my neighbor but I decided to not dissect him'. (Matthew following Mr. Harris' question of whether someone they new died.)moreless
