Zoe appears whilst Emmanuelle has Adorable Husband in her tractor beam and her Mary Louise Parker eyes have me almost feeling sorry for her. But, alas, she is not the fair MLP. We find out that Zoe's husband has a job as a reputable architect which is surprising because they keep trying to pass him off as Mr. Mom. Anyway, clever K-Al asks Adorable architect to redo her kitchen which will be featured in Architectural Digest and no one at the table has to guess what that means. Especially when he's all, Oh yeah, girl. I can do it. Oh, please god, keep this woman on this show forever and ever! Or for the six episodes that it lasts.
Oh, and never mind! I forgot that we were really all waiting for was...to meet Nobby Walsh! And, oh man, does this gent not disappoint. He is this marvelous bunny-teethed human rabbit specimen with the same haircut from his 1986 headshot. This man is a treasure. I only wish I could have been in on the casting session for this character. (No, no. Not rabbity enough, people! Juliet is his human carrot! Find him!!) They struck gold with this one. Within one minute I am rallying for Nobby to have his own spin-off. Maybe they can reinvent him as Nobby Walsh, P.I. which has an amazingly catchy ring to it.
I've lost my carrot and there's only one bunny I trust to find it!
Oh, but where was I? We have a story in progress. Juliet fesses up to the truth behind the get together and Nobby Walsh lays some bad acting on us. And he has been carrying a carrot-like flame for Juliet this whole time! Gangbusters! Unfortunately Juliet is now torn up with some Libra-like indecision, although we all know she's way too lame to be an actual Libra. Nobby Walsh is a patient little bunny though. Just how I like 'em.
No one on the CM staff seems to have been to a club since the Night at the Roxbury days, and while neither have I, I can safely bet that clubs these days look nothing like the "discotheque" Caitlin and Alicia are dancing all shiny, glittery at and they sure as hell aren't playing the music we're getting. I have a myspace account. I know what the young people are listening to. So, layering lameness upon lameness some former Wall Street fling of Caitlin appears on the scene all stoked that Caitlin is bi-curious. And, like a true member of the Cashmere Mafia, she panics, cowers and denies, rightfully pissing off Alicia. Atta girl!
Please don't do this to me. I don't have another show to go back to!
Back at the ranch, Zoe is begging her man not to take the job with K-Al and even calls her out on the advances she made at dinner before Zoe's arrival. But, for the sake of a halfway intriguing plot, husband does not seem to be backing down which I hope means K-Al stays around as permanent guest star, Amanda Woodward style.
And now we get the big firing of Gay Mark scene at an art gallery which Mia does with surprising ease. I chalk it up to the fact that he reaches an all-time creepy high by lurking like an NBC dateline predator behind Mia while she does his job. Things would be smoother if Caitlin hadn't barged in like a maniac freaking out about freaking out at the discotheque. I'm not one to push pharmaceuticals, but these bitches need a Xanax. Then Gay Mark causes a scene by saying she's a back-stabber when she fires him, but her fake bangs cause an even bigger scene in my book. They made her have "bangs" by flipping a ponytail over her forehead, people. I haven't lived in New York City since 2002, but that cannot be de la mode. You can take me many places, CM, but I will not go down the path of the ponytail bangs with you.
They shoot ponies, don't they?

IS, I made the mistake of watching the pilot, and will not make that mistake again. However, skipping your recaps would be a mistake. Well Done! Now you have to tell me that Krista Allen is on the show? Damn, now I may have to watch again! Did anyone see her on "Project Greenlight" when they cast her in the horror movie and she got all taken aback when they wanted her to go topless or show pokies through her tshirt? Hilarious. . . like she was freaking Helen Mirren or something.
Funny to see her coming on board . . . kinda like when Aaron Spelling brought Heather Locklear on to "Melrose Place" to save that ship when it was sinking, but even then it took 2 or 3 seasons before desperate measures were called for, not 2 or 3 episodes.

BTW, I'm seeing all these ads for a show called "Lipstick Jungle", which looks like the same goddamn show.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would ever really wanna go and top that...
I loved Teen Witch as a kid! The summer of 1990 my best friend and I watched Teen Witch, Dirty Dancing & Pretty Woman over and over.
Now I have to go watch all of the Teen Witch clips on youtube!
I cannot stand to watch this show, but I am enjoying your recaps.
