I guess it just depends on how the poster formatted it. The one I watched had the full picture but it was small and framed like you were sitting in a movie theater. Yes. the show is framed like you are in a movie theater. I think they did that because it's not very good quality and if they made it bigger, it would really degrade the picture quality. At least on my screen, I'm seeing the full available picture. At the end when Johnny was emotional and turned away, most of his face was hidden. I didn't say anything about Oxford before. Johnny looked great in his chauffeur suit. Poor Berg jetting off to Europe to find Ashley when she was in Mississippi. I think Ashley is the person that you love to hate. She's pretty caustic most of the time, although she seemed more human in the last 2 episodes. It was so funny how Pete was such a hit with the old ladies. He was terrified when their husbands showed up, but couldn't believe his good fortune when they paid him to take them out more! Nathan is mostly in the background, just kind of window dressing. It makes me wonder if they brought him in as a temporary boyfriend for Sharon, but then discovered how great he was and made him a permanent cast member. I read somewhere that what you guessed was actually true. He was planned as a short term boyfriend but was so well liked they made him a permanent character. |

Thanks for sharing your experiences, ladies. I do remember watching one episode where it looked like it was on a movie screen so I'll go back and look for that same poster. I sure hate to miss ANY glimpse of Nathan!
I'm also not surprised that Nathan won his way onto the show as a regular. He's added a lot and is such a natural with the comedy. I was shocked by his comment over the weekend that he was not happy with his season 4 performance. I'm anxious for us to watch those episodes and see if we can sense him working too hard to be funny.

Thanksgiving - I felt so bad for Sharon! She just wanted to have a nice intimate Thanksgiving with the love of her life. Instead everyone invited themselves to join in. She was disappointed and tried to fix a nice dinner for everyone with no help. Johnny, who is usually a nice guy, was only interested in football and didn't help Sharon at all. I'm glad Johnny said how much he appreciated Sharon at the end and Sharon stuck him with all the dishes.
Justin was really a jerk, but so was Berg. I loved the Pictionary and Charades. Grandpa was funny. I enjoyed him. I think he got the best line when they were doing Charades. Berg asked Pete to be his partner then kissed Ashley to act out "Long Kiss Goodnight". Justin asked Pete to be his partner, then also kissed Ashley to act out "Long Kiss Goodnight". Grandpa stood up and said, "OK, Pete, you and I are a team..."
Limo - Johnny can't understand why Sharon has a problem with his best friend being a girl, especially when her best friends are 2 good looking guys. Adam Corolla was great, quickly figuring out that Sharon was being petty and jealous and Johnny was being dumb by not getting rid of the necklace Sean gave him, but that they were a great couple. On the other hand, Ashley and Berg were totally dysfunctional. Ha! I think we already knew that!

I'm afraid I won't have time to watch this week's 2 episodes as I'm leaving town in 2 days and have so much to do. Maybe I can catch up next week.

I'm slacking! Just got home late Saturday and real life has gotten in the way trying to catch up after being gone. Will review the episodes early this week and add my two cents. I DO remember we get Nathan in a gorgeous suit in the Limo episode.  |

Christmas: Boring - no Nathan. Gamble: - Nathan looked particularly yummy this episode.  Hairporn! Loved the red plaid jacket AND the white sweater underneath. - Enjoyed his entrance into the pizza place when the guys were both saying they loved Johnny. Cute scene. - Johnny and Sharon were really cute this episode both pretending they were neat freaks. The scenes of each of them hiding everything was really funny. The rake for the carpet made me laugh. - Favorites: The physical comedy of Johnny hiding the stuff and the "recycle" was great! He was so cute when he did his little dance on the carpet to mess it back up. And I want one of those hugs he gave Sharon at the end! I found the whole traffic lady/kid storyline kind of boring. Best scenes in this episode were Sharon/Johnny moving in together. |

Christmas
I like Pete. I enjoyed his falling for an 'older' woman then being scared when he found out she had a son. Berg was annoyed by his grumpy, elderly patient that kept showing up at the pizza place, but when he found out he didn't have any relatives, Berg took a pizza to his apartment and spent some time with him.
Gamble
I enjoyed this one more as well. Johnny just adds so much to the show and he and Sharon are really great together. I loved when the guys both said they loved Johnny and he came up behind them and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm already in a relationship." Then I guess he smacked them on their butts or goosed them. I thought it was funny when Sharon kept trying to ask Johnny to move in but just couldn't complete her sentences because she was afraid it might not work out.
Poor Sharon, when she finally decides to tell Johnny the truth about her being a slob, he cuts her off and tells her not to worry, his mom was a neat freak and he felt right at home in her neat apartment. Then I about died when he was telling his sister how horrible it was to have a girlfriend who was as much a neat freak as their mom. He was hilarious cleaning up the apartment, recycling, raking the carpet. Then they discovered they were both slobs trying to be neat for the other one. Even more proof that they should be together.
The gambling part comes in when Berg takes Pete's girlfriend's son to the track to teach him about ratios. He aces his math test but when they find out he is betting on things with his friends, they sit him down and tell him that it is not right. That is one of the things I like about this show. It has heart. They show real situations and even though it's played for comedy, the characters really care about people and try to do the right thing, like Berg spending time with the old patient and explaining to the kid that it's wrong to gamble.

I don't think Johnny was in either of these shows. I didn't really care for the Proposal.
Graduation
Sharon really laid into the guys for blowing her money to pay her parking fines causing her to not graduate. It turns out they didn't blow her money after all. I think the best part was Pete's spot on impersonation of Robin Leach. In other words, there wasn't much going on in this episode either.

Valentine's Day
I liked this one. Johnny never really thought of Sean as anything but a buddy until she started dating Berg. Berg thinks she is just trying to make Johnny jealous so Pete and Berg set up some tests. She only pays attention to Berg when Johnny is around and finally blurts out that she loves Johnny causing Johnny and Sharon to break up. Crazy Irene thinks everything Pete says means he's in love with her but Sharon sets her straight and tells her Pete isn't interested at all. Disastrous Valentine's Day for everyone! Then to top it off, Pete tries to comfort Sharon about Johnny leaving when suddenly they kiss! Ay Caramba!
Storm of the Century
Meh, Berg meets a new girl then Ashley shows up again.

Ashley's Return
This was a good one! It was so hilarious when Johnny was so upset when he thought Berg kissed Sharon. He was going to punch him out, then he found out she kissed Pete and he just laughed. Pete was upset that Johnny didn't want to punch him so Johnny gave Pete nuggies!
I loved Pete's imitation of Berg. It was so spot on. The guy does really good impressions.
I loved that later Sharon and Johnny conspired to make Pete feel better about himself - that was funny too.
a Fighter
Ashley moves in with Berg and Pete can't stand her. Ashley, Sharon, and Pete are all upset with each other. Johnny tries to be the adult and make everyone talk it out. Of course it backfires when they all turn on him.
Berg once again has to do the right thing when it comes to the fighter
