"Mediocre"

By thefanof, Aug 29, 2011 Report Abuse

This is just a filler episode, nothing more, nothing less. No major storylines going on, just pure, unadulterated immature humor that this show delivers on in every episode.

This was a time in the show's history when things were just not going too well. No longer was Everybody Loves Raymond the number one comedy on CBS, Two and a Half Men had taken over that role, and they weren't sure how to adjust to it, but having Alan get married for a second time, this time to a stripper certainly was not the way to go. That was one of the worst storylines done in That 70's Show history so why try it now?moreless

I suppose we had a hilarious episode here, with a bit of suspense because of Kandi

I suppose we had a hilarious episode here, with a bit of suspense because of Kandi

This was my second episode from this season, my first being episode 8: Release the dogs. This was quite good, great. Kandi pursued a career in acting and in which Alan, Charlie and Jake help her do it... Later on, Alan tries to bond a special friendship with Jake but Jake, who doesn't enjoy these father/son activities, starts to nail half naked women photo's to the wall. Alan himself and Kandi decide they want to have a baby but when the phone rings and Kandi answers it, she changes her mind, "just like that".

Overall, kind of hilarious but the storyline/moral was great. Nice...moreless

I liked this episode. Alan realizes that Jake is growing up fast so he decides to bond with him through camping meanwhile Kandi decides to become an actress.

It was an interesting episode nonetheless. While I'm not the number one fan of Two and a Half Men, the show is great and this episode was at least somewhat well written. It kept me entertained for the 30 minutes, anyway. What happens? Jake starts pasting up pictures of models on his wall in his room and Alan realizes that Jake is growing up fast. In attempt to bond with him before "it's too late", Alan decides that he'll take Jake on a camping trip. Too bad I'm not gonna tell you what else happens, you'll have to watch the show to figure that out.moreless

Kandi the actress

The woman who plays Kandi is so good. She is great at playing dumb. I loved the spoof of CSI: Miami. Jake getting older was ok but the Kandi story was even better. So is Alan going to get alimony from her now? Charlie was funny telling Jake to try to humor his Dad.

"Superb"

By PETERCHERR1, Mar 20, 2007 Report Abuse

Another great episode of one the best comedies to come down the pike in a long time! Even with the absence of Berta (the quick witted housekeeper) and Evelyn (Charlie and Alans mother), it was a fine episode. Candi comes through as a dumb blond trying to get a role in the show Stiffs! She is brilliant, and the reason she got the role was because her 2 asstets, which according to Charlie are real! The father and son bonding in the tent was hysterical. Poor Alan tries, but just like Wile E. Coyote, he never succeeds!

Jake, what a little man he is becoming, having the posters of cars and wrestling replacing his Harry Potter poster. Oh, and there were some scantily clad women in the new posters also!moreless
