And how!  Just like the old days - when the hour flew by and before
you know it, you were watching the coming attractions.  Good Stuff!
Mr. Jacobs, if you're reading this, keep it up.

That was another twist reminiscent of the old days as is seeing
Greg in the political limelight again.

I don't known where they're going with Mac on this but I like it.
Just the looks that he gives Karen are priceless, like he really
wants to tell her to shut up.  While he is acting dopey, I can believe
it.  Anger to protect one's child has many elements to it.
I wonder what else was taped in Mary's house.  Remember the conversation
she had with her brother about the money and Val?  Betcha the tape
was running all along.  Who knows maybe it taped Mary's murder.

I like these characters, not just with each other but as they
interact with the others (albeit on a small basis yet).  I hope they
don't start introducing a bunch of kids.  While I liked the Jason,
Olivia and Michael storylines, the show seems much stronger at an
adult level.  Not that I'm so grown up :)) but I love the sex,
lie and videotape stuff!!  

I also loved the scenes with Nick and Claudia at the restaurant.
It's time Knots had a regular eating place on the show, remember
the Ciji days?  What was the name of that place where she sang and
everyone gathered?

Actually Tim - I'm in central NJ too and I didn't hear it - 
I think it was drowned out by my laughter.  Same laughter continued
after I got in bed, on the way to work and progressively got louder
after I read Tim's comments.  I'm still cracking up.  Sorry Tim,
but TR looks good, no mistaking him for anyone else, right, Tim?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
