Pretty funny! I loved the non-argument between Darnell and Joy. “Argue with me, dammit!” I can’t remember what wrong word she used when she meant condescending - it made me laugh out loud! “I’m vincible!” “I’m vincible!” Lots of great lines. And I’m sure all the guys loved Catalina saying “Squeeze them!” Heh. ---

I’ll second that. It was great seeing so much (heh) of Catalina. “Nature’s Game Show” – I love that name for a tornado. I noticed a small slip in continuity, though. Earl said Catalina had just come to Camden County recently. In flashbacks, most notably the Y2K episode, it was noted that Catalina first came to Camden in 1999. If she’s been there almost 10 years, it really can’t be called “recently.” Unless Earl just has a bad memory. ---

Hey, for Camden County, ten years **IS** a recent arrival. Everyone else in town seems to have been there when Earl was a kid. ---

I don’t know, this one just put me off. The cheerleader camp episode was just nasty, and more and more I’m getting a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to this show. I may have to bow out…I just don’t find it as funny anymore. It’s getting to be “how stupid can we portray Randy without actually committing him to an institution?” type of thing, which I just find painful to watch. Although, Joy telling her son he couldn’t have the gun because he wasn’t 13 was a tad bit amusing.
