I was so hoping that Hands would get 3 years in prison. That should've kept him away for awhile.

Strangely, I was caught completely by surprise when Bethany ended up hearing about the paternity. I just wasn't even thinking about the possibility when it happened. And Denny even had the "Don't tell me" out of his mouth and was looking down before I realized what was going on.

Alan looks like he walked right out of Hairspray in that costume, too.

It looks like the Lincoln Meyer character is going to be around a while too. Love him. On the other hand, I'm about done with "hands," and Coho. Alan Shore has been kind of on the back burner, until this episode, and we need more Alan/Denny.

Could've done without Daniel Post's head in a haunted house. That story line was gross and stupid.

I was really starting to get tired of Lincoln Meyer until he whacked the judge with the shovel.

At this point he changed from an annoying, whiney, wimpy nut into a dangerous psychotic villain! He can stay around for awhile now, IMHO! :up:

Although he's starting to get a little silly, I'm not yet totally tired of "hands".

"I find that times like this call for a good squeal."

<Alan squeals> :D :up: Great stuff!

Denny may have been sleeping with his own love child! Great stuff! :up:

Daniel Post's head in a haunted house? Gross, but undeniably "haloweeny"!

I really thought that the entire point of Daniel's remains being "missing" was that it wasn't really him; it was another way for him to pay his way out of something. I guess them seeing the head ends that theory.

I enjoy Hands, but even I'm tired of consistently getting in trouble and having Alan bail him out. Use him for something else please. Peepee, on the other hand, really looked suitably scary when the judge read the verdict.

I was laughing the whole time. The "who's your daddy" is an all time great scene. I had to stop the tivo from laughing and rewind to catch what I missed. I thought for sure that daniel was playing a joke I so I kind of feel bad about laughing so much during that storyline. I think alan vs coho will be very entertaining because both will play dirty as possible. This episode was very very funny and entertaining IMO.

Generally I agree; though his choice of judge was wrong (as well as him having stopped at just one). It would've been so nice to get brand new judges across the board. Most of the current judges suffer from the same problem as hands. One joke wonders.

To use The Lennon Sisters was brilliant.

Delta Burke has rendered her face almost expressionless. Not only is she botoxed beyond belief- her eyes have lost their sparkle and the whole mask just lacks her old verve.
I do so love older women who have the confidence to keep their character as they age. Why they all want to try and look 22 is beyond me.

Bummer, I thought Michael J Fox would come back for some more episodes..Oh, gag.....I'm glad he's done. I couldn't stand his character in this show (or any other shows/movies he's been in during the last 10 years).

Bummer, I thought Michael J Fox would come back for some more episodes.. (and the controversy about his political commercials made me think about how little his symptoms showed on Boston Legal compared to the commercials or his interviews.. though he still did kind of squirm around a bit on Boston Legal.)
It certainly helped that they wouldn't keep the camera on him longer than 3 seconds at a time before doing a jump cut.

They definitely shot and edited his scenes to minimize the visibility of his symptoms.

MJF and Denise Bowen were stuck with a horribly sappy and boring storyline. Glad Daniel Post is dead.

I don't know who Denise Bowen is, but Julie Bowen is a pretty hot actress playing Denise Bauer on the show :D

Great episode.

Hands :down: - tired of him; his tics have just gotten silly
Peepie guy :up: - love the character, hope they give him some depth
Coho :up: - I think his hairdo is hilarious

I was also caught off guard when Bethany materialized. It was quite a feat to get more good mileage of what was becoming a tiresome gag.

Was anyone else thinking maybe MJF wasn't really dead and would turn up alive at the haunted house just to play a prank on Denise? For that matter, I guess it's still possible - we didn't see exactly what they were screaming about at the end...

Alan shore dolls up nice.Based on his facial expression when eyeing Alan as they sipped their single malt, Denny thought so, too. :p

I'm also glad to see the Daniel Post character killed off. I agree with most everyone else that Peepee is now a character I'll want to watch and that Hands has become over the top and annoying. I really was hoping he'd be sent to prison or flee the country so we didn't have to see him again. I like the Coho character now that the Scott Little trial is over (it REALLY dragged for me). Besides, I like the actor who plays Coho and have ever since I saw him in The Thirteenth Floor.

Unless I'm mistaken Craig Bierko who pays Coho was the star of a Dean Martin biography a couple of years ago.
