    - Yeah, I read that last year.....dude still has more natural charm than just about anyone I can recall -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 10:15

  - I can agree with this....and last week's wore really thin (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 22, 10:21 3
    - agreed. Plus, the last two eps have not really been bringing the funny. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 10:22 2
      - I forgot it was on last night (was still asleep at 8:45p) - Will Hunting Jul 22, 10:24 1
