Hahaha. Great episode that had a few notable cameos from other popular shows at the time. Busy Phillips, Frankie Muniz and Mark Paul Gosselaar show up as James Vander Beek contemplates and tries to get people to do a Dawson Creek reunion show. Very funny episode.

The Halloween prank that turns into an  o r g y  of chick flick cliche was pretty good. I also like the new guy Franklin. Not sure if he is going to become a semi regular pursuing June. But he did have that Zach Galifianakis thing going, which of course was an inside joke in the episode.

This episode was freakin' hilarious! All the credit goes to Krysten Ritter, who as Chloe takes over People Magazine in an effort to get James on the cover as the Sexiest Man Alive. I've always wondered what it would be like to just walk into any major corporation and take over a job and not have anyone question the validity of my claims that I work for said company.

Hahahahahaha. This show is so damn funny and I can't for the life of me understand why it's not on everyone's radar. The media and magazines and whoever else is out there should be talking about this as much as possible. There are so many great water cooler moments in each episode that there is a wealth of things to pick apart. As for this Thanksgiving episode, I can honestly say I have never seen one quite like this and it had me busting a gut. Could not stop laughing.

James finally makes it out to Hollywood to appear on Dancing With The Stars. His subsequent meltdown on the air was foreseen. It's the same plot that most shows use when a celeb is on nationally TV. It was still funny though. I wonder if the real Dancing With The Stars show will invite James to actually compete in a future season of the series. I can see the producers milking Apt. 23 as a tie in for sure.

Haha. Watching James go on his bender was a hoot, especially when he meets up with 'Coffee Guy' and they try to play basketball. The topper was watching them butcher his dance routine at the house party. Very funny episode. They need to include more from the Asian neighbor (can't remember her name at the moment). This is the 8th episode of the season and she has only been in 3. More please!! Krysten Ritteris a laugh riot!! Hahaha.

F*cking hilarious!! June on her first day at her new job discovers that the chick in the cubicle next to her is her nemesis and what ensues from this is priceless. Angelique Cabral plays Fox Paris and she is an awesome addition. I hope she has a recurring role here because it will add a new dimension to the show. Also, the scenes between James and Mark was damn funny too. James definition of "layin' one on" is both gross and funny. A+!

It just goes to show just how lame and f*cked up ABC is. They are dropping in episodes that are clearly out of order and messing with the continuity of the series. Not only was this an "old" episode, I think this one is actually a hold over from Season 1 given how James and Chloe don't even know Mark yet. Just a shame that the Network is so cavalier about trying to save or boost the ratings for this. Ugh. I seriously despise ABC more than I do FOX. Well, neck and neck anyway.

I just don't get or understand the mentality of ABC to continue to air episodes out of order. First, they still have June working at the coffee shop and now they throw in the hook that James agent got him an audition for Dancing With the Stars. Yup, the same show that he just wrapped up a few episodes back. ABC, you suck.

Well, ABC seemed to have gotten back into the current episodes that make sense as far as story goes. The only problem is that this was just an average episode. Not particularly memorable, except the idea of a new Dating Game that James is working on. The other thing is June now knows that Mark has a crush on her.

I was under the impression that the show for whatever reason had an abbreviated season. Turns out that the show was yanked and immediately cancelled. Ugh. I hate you ABC! For real, I hate your guts as much as I hate the Taliban. This was a fun show. Well, time to move this thread over to Greatest Hits and Misses.

RIP, B*tch.

You're telling me! ABC is still sitting on 8 unaired episodes. At least give those few fans the opportunity to see those episodes by burning them off, instead of hoarding them to milk those fans out of hard earned money by forcing us to buy the DVD set. So, we are going to get it in the ass....again....and pay for it in the process.

Ugh.

I love a show that is out of order when it come to continuity. It makes the show better for me because it's an  interactive show as I yell at the screen about plot points being all out of whack. Ya know what other show would have benefited being out of order? 24. Had they done the same, maybe that show would still be on the air. :P Luther was very funny in this one as well. Maybe if they had given him more lines, the show could have been saved. Maybe not. Still funny though.

Kind of a confusing episode and that was exactly the point. Not knowing what 'Monday June' did on Monday. Even I was curious as to what transpired. But the best part of the episode was James trying to find out if the forthcoming baby was his. When he started repeating "you won't be a good mother" over and over, I bust a gut laughing. It was his deliberate and slow delivery of the line that made it work. Luther's flashback scene was also funny too.

If Krysten Ritter were "naked" in all the episodes, this show would still be on the air, with 20 spin-offs and a Saturday Morning Cartoon. Just sayin'. I wouldn't love the Camp C.U.T.S song? It's awesome!!!!!

Ha. Crazy episode and very funny. The sight of a fat James and Chloe working in a Cell Phone Store was priceless. Also nuts was seeing Eli someplace other than his window still. Loved the insults between James and Chloe, but June's 'mock' insults were the best. "Full-fat" Milk ftw!

Another episode that was definitely out of order of when it aired for sure. The whole June and Mark story line is something that keeps coming and going because it was never linear. Really not sure why ABC kept pulling random episodes to air. Where is the sense is that if its going to destroy the narrative and momentum of the characters? Anyway, it was a good twist having them finally hook up only to find out that they were not compatible sexually. The AA meetings with Chloe and the little league game was also funny too.

I watched the entire episode in the bathroom. That's how you do it! Yup, an entire episode set in and about different bathrooms. You wouldn't think you could get away with something like this, let alone actually entertaining to boot. But it was. Loved June's off-key singing at the end. But the cherry on the top was her 'dancing'. James bathroom commercial is typical of a Hong Kong type of ad.....weird.

Original B*tch
(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Star%20Ratings/HTL_04star.gif)


If you're gonna go out with a bang, go out with a very odd episode that just happened to be funny at the same time. So, we get Charo opening the episode and Richard Dean Anderson closing it. That should tell you right away this isn't your typical Apt. 23 half hour. In the middle of it all we have Chloe searching for her form roommate, i.e. the Original B*tch. Like I said, it was odd, but entertaining. Having James think that Macgyver is his real father is just icing on the proverbial weird cake.

That brings to close what was a very entertaining series. It's just a shame that the network did everything it possible could to sabotage it from within. Airing 90% of the episodes out of order is just unforgivable.
