C’mon - computers are as big as houses. What could you possibly need more than one for?

Reminds me of an old boyfriend!

Might I say, you are looking very well-preserved.

I can’t believe that nobody else is calling BS on this. There is no way that he has class on Wednesdays.

I’ve probably doubled or tripled my usage of “dude” since watching this show, dude.

So you’re just sorta rude and obnoxious the other 6 days of the week?

You know, I don’t have to sit around here and be insulted like this. I can go anywhere I want and be insulted by a higher class group of people.

Now excuse me while I head down to the monkey house to moon the baboons.

Sadly, the monkey house happened to contain the one baboon-werewolf on Earth…

I hate the show but watch it every week. It’s like the A-team, only no Bannacek, Barclay, Starbuck or Clubber Lang.

Ok, this made me laugh. 😛  
I meant more for looks, though…on the rest…not so much ‘murder’ as ‘sanctioned killing’ 😛 Go Go Navy!  
p.s. Is it just me, or does Guerrero have a box of Chinese in his hand every fricking episode?!

p.p.s. I bet he can kill with a chopstick

Gee, thanks. Now, this show, all I can do is think about how drunk I’d be if I played the “Drink every time someone says 'Dude!” game. 😛

DUDE!

Dude…

I love this show.

Hence it is doomed to failure and cancellation.

I am sad ☹

I’m really liking it, too. When I saw the credits for tonight’s season finale, I got really excited at the guest stars:

Lee Majors  
Amy Acker  
Armand Assante

and if that weren’t enough, we also got “Lassie” from _Psych_ playing a bad guy, plus that black British actor from Snatch!

Haven’t watched it yet, so not reading anything, but want to complain. My wonderful lovely teenager wanted to watch something and accidentally cut off the last 20 minutes of my DVR recording! I know that someday she will read what she’s clicking on and not just hit yes to everything she’s asked, but until that day happens, why did she have to do this to me!!!

HULU!

I’m hoping it’s up there, cause I want to watch it again, and forgot to record it. \>.\<

Dude.

So Guerrero can hold his own. The writers must have been watching _White Collar_, because the season endings are just about the same. And in both cases, I’m willing to bet that the girl lives.

This was a fun season and I hope it gets new life in the fall. This was too good to just cancel.

I’m betting the same thing, but remember the boat blew up 6 years ago…
