I liked the ending too–it was a feel-good moment and dammit, I’m not too jaded to enjoy those. I don’t think however, that a romance will blossom. Best to be best friends, IMO. ---

Across the Universe: Fiona Apple. This is on a movie soundtrack, I’m sure of it. Anybody remember what? (and I’m 99% sure it’s not “I am Sam.”) > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ivylass \* > **Please tell me the ratings for this show are good. I don’t want it yanked out from under us, a la _Sports Night_.** It’s done very well in the ratings. NBC even moved its Alicia Silverstone show because JoA was clobbering it. ---

How was it clobbering it? Joan came on at 8:00pm and Miss Match came on at 9:00pm. I like them both but Joan’s definitely superior. ---

I managed to get the episode via torrents…very, very moving episode. Perhaps my favorite yet. ---

I think that should have been the last episode, not because I don’t like the show… just that would have been a good place to end, everything is all wrapped up. ---

Aha. When I started watching Miss Match, it was already on at 9:00. ---

_Joan of Arcadia_ won a People’s Choice Award for New television dramtic series. 🙂 ---

I didn’t see Miss Match in the Tv schedule at all, or I would have taped it for **Aesiron.** Loved the whole big disaster/feather bit at the end. ---

[QUOTE=Squonk] Across the Universe: Fiona Apple. This is on a movie soundtrack, I’m sure of it. Anybody remember what? [QUOTE] It was in _Pleasantville_. The only video I’ve seen for this was also from the same movie. ---

Anyone have a tape of this episode they’d be willing to send my way? I typically have \*\*viva \*\* tape it for me but she thought that I had watched it this week and didn’t tape it and I’d \*really \* like to see this one. If you do, my email is in my profile. I’d really appreciate it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joan-of-arcadia-1-9-or-the-christmas-break-is-over/223689.md?page=1)
