Well, in all fairness they _are_ all almost a decade older. Most folks don’t exactly get fresher and dewier looking over that time kind of time frame. ---

Maybe it’s because I’m watching earlier reruns but they all looked they were rode hard and put away wet. In the first episode, I think that’s intentional. I’m still wondering whether Christa (Krista?) Miller, who plays Jordan, has actually had some really bad botox/cosmetic surgery or if they make Jordan up to to look that way for yuks. ---

Bit late to the check-up, but I liked them. That last season on NBC, aside from a few moments(Kelso’s exit would have been a fine series ender), was just painful. The show and each character in it had been reduced to parodies of themselves. In hindsight I almost wonder if that was intentional. Going into this season I certainly held my expectations low, due to the new channel and last season. So far however, I am pleasantly surprised. These two episodes felt like they could have been pulled from some of the prime NBC seasons. One complaint though, and this has been on going for a few seasons now, but could someone please feed Sarah Chalke? I don’t know if that is just it, but she use to be one of my favorite celebrity crushes. Now? Just meh. Though still love her smile. ---

If it is real, it would be a shame, I always liked her on Drew Carey. I’m hoping it is made up for the show.
