Main character comes out of the house and gives him a speech about how if he goes in there he will have to explain to his son that wants to be a cop and thinks all cops are good and want to help people why he turned out the way he did. Cop punches him in the face and leaves, episode ends with them all back at the hospital with the hot nurse and a shot of his patient form that says “In Case of Emergency call: Kelli lee”.
Hot doctor, played by Lori Loughlin, who also played the woman who married John Stamos’s character in Full House. Quite the MILF, if I do say so myself.
OK, I just watched 'em and I gotta say that they’ll have to get much better for me to continue watching them. I liked In Case Of Emergency better than Knights.
Of course, having both Kelly Hu and Lori Loughlin in doesn’t hurt. I also always liked Jonathan Silverman.
Knights was almost painful for me. I stopped watching it a few times.
I’ll give both shows another chance.
I watched them tonight for the first time.
I was pleasantly surprised by “Knights of Prosperity”. I expected it to be terrible (since I expected the show would rely more on the gimmick of Mick Jagger’s name recognition than decent writing) but yet it was fairly entertaining. I’ll probably watch it again.
I became bored with ICE after 10 minutes, though. I guess because the main character’s patheticness just didn’t seem all that funny to me.
Bush’s Iraq speech pre-empted last week’s KoP (the 2nd episode) and it would seem as if they aired episode 3 instead of going back and airing the show that was meant to be aired last week. Well, it ain’t Lost, but still a little aggravating when they referenced events that happened in that episode.
Well, to be fair, the events that happen in that episode are directly related to the whole premise of robbing Mick Jagger. The show has better continuity than most comedies.
I couldn’t find Episode 2 on ABC.com and I was very confused by this episode of Knights especially when Reiko Ayelsworth showed up at the beginning. I figured that she had to have a bigger role than she did.
Knights is OK…some funny moments.
But I personally think ICE is one of the unfunniest shows I have ever seen; stupid slapstick, tired jokes, story-lines you see coming a mile away and not an original idea to be found anywhere - and the entire show is a rip-off of the show Class on CBS. At least Class has characters that I care somewhat about - ICE, despite having a better cast of actors, leaves me cold.
I miss sitcoms with good scripts (Frasier/Cheers/All In The Family/Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc.) that were funny even if you were listening to the show from the next room. Neither one of these comedies fit that criteria - at least as far as I am concerned.
Episode 2 was on right after the presidents speech, they didn’t skip it.
Last night was my last show.
In addition to the forced idiocy of pushing a person’s thumb into cream cheese to ask her if she wants a shmeer, they blew the science. A mold of a fingerprint produces a negative image. The ridges are valleys and vice versa. It can’t work.
And the clichés got to be too much.
I quit.
Are you sure? The imprint in the cream cheese is a negative, but the dental putty would be a duplicate of her thumb. Though I agree that cream cheese is too soft and dental putty too hard for that to work (I’d guess).

You could be right, though the elasticity of the cream cheese would have destroyed the print in any case and the method of obtaining it was the killer for me. I gave on the show because of the show, and this point occurred to me long afterward. The coal-walking scene was just as bad. The beginning was a series of cringeworthy lines. The whole thing was just bad. I was on the fence trying to give it another chance and I figured out which side I’m on.
I wouldn’t get too attached to either of these shows. “ABC slipped to fourth with “The Knights of Prosperity,” 2.6/4, and “In Case of Emergency,” 2.3/3.” Those numbers would be pathetic if you added the two shows together. (That combined show would still rank fourth.) ABC will keep them only until it can find something that will work better.
No great loss on either count, though I’ll probably watch every episode of both. Being a huge Donal Logue fan from Grounded For Life, I’ll stick with it despite the blatant Catalina ripoff from My Name Is Earl.
The cream cheese could have been frozen solid before heading to the dentist office, though they would’ve had to have gotten incredibly lucky to get a good enough impression in the first place.
For any other Grounded For Life fans out there, the actress who played the hot mom has a new sitcom premiering in February; it’s the one with David Spade. IMO it’s worth a look just for her.
