I really liked the episode too, but there can't really be any
argument that the best episode this season was when Maggie turned 30.

I don't think Marilyn has ever been stupid.  Did you see when Bob
came around the first time in "Get Real," Marilyn pretty much acted
the same as in the 11/9  episode.  She might have been quiet, but
she's never seem stupid, and she has never been wrong.

The dress and the mascarra were supposed to be that outlandish to
make the point that she was changing very apparent, but that
lipstick is another story... 

compared to what she wore on Arsenio, that blue number she wore
looks just fine.  

I thought the part where she turned into Mikes secretary was laid on
kinda thick, everything else Maggie did I have seen before.

I think the Ed dream sequences probably went over the heads of most
viewers.

He looks like you basic surfer dude as a blonde.  Go rent one of the
slasher movies he has been in.

One more question about ed.  If he has blue eyes, doesn't that mean
he is only 1/4 indian?

>Is there anyone else out there who liked last night's show?

I liked it... the last two episodes have been really good, and you
ad Maggie's 30 birthday, and so far they are 3 fof 5.  Then again,
this is what I said about last years start too, but when I looked at
the first episode again on tape, I learned to like them too.  I say
over all, the quality is still up to par.  

It's now time for Adam and Eve to have a kid.
