Surprised there are more episode threads for this show. It's my favorite show on TV right now (after Justified). Great show! Great plots! Great dialog!

Loved this week where the 10-year-old found out about Steve's rich family and did her own form of blackmail.

Surprised that they brought the mother into the plot so quickly. Best line "we found out Dad is the *good* one..."

Funny how the neighbor guy is into the foster children more than the wife who only wanted them for the money.

Loved this episode!

Yeah. But I do think he was a dick for first bringing up the idea of also fostering the baby with the mother right there. Because it could fall apart over so many things; why get her hopes up before you know if it's even a possibility.

I had assumed that Monica would be played by someone else when I stumbled across this image a few weeks ago:

Allison Janney

EDIT: Nevermind. She was originally cast in the Joan Cusack role.

He's not a dick, he's a moron.

A moron with a heart of gold, but a moron nonetheless.

It doesn't surprise me that Frank's ex-wife is now a lesbian. With this show, it seems like anything goes.

And I loved the look on Kash's face when he found out that Ian was stepping out on him. Did it ever occur to him that maybe Ian wants to hook up with guys his own age?

So glad this got renewed for a 2nd season; it's one of the best shows on TV

Please somebody tell me it's not just me: For 9 episodes now, I've been thinking 'Hey, Sheila kind of looks like what's her name', and it turns out she's actually PLAYED by what's her name!

I guess I assumed that between William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, the wouldn't have another high profile actor on the cast.

Good episode. Yeah, I did indeed appreciate that line "Turns out, Dad is the good one." Funny stuff.

This show must hold the record for showing the most young firm boobies and male gay sex scenes, while still being very entertaining from a normal perspective. Truly an amazing balance.
