Notes
Tommorow's Premiere - The Life and Times of Juniper Lee
I love the first synopsis. If it's wrong, blame TV.com.
This is going to be a loooong summer.

[Bubblegum Girl]

Dad Day Afternoon - Pretty much average. Though it was nice to see Grim's Dad. C+

Scary Poppins - Boy, Mandy is one SCARY person. Her parents are afraid of their own daughter. You gotta love the part where she does the "Jedi" mind thing on her parents even with Grim's help. And it was really scary and funny when Mandy says that this is her world and the Nanny is just living in it and everyone jumped on her. A

[Evil Tim]

Did I hear the line wrong, or did Mandy say something about having goth metal posters? And she wanted her room painted black? I remember one poster here describing Mandy as a "goth in training". That poster seems to have been dead on.

You know what really cracked me up? The nanny going into "sista mode" on Claire, warning her not to get all up in her grill or whatever. And had Mandy's mother's name ever been mentioned on the show before? I love when writers finally get off their butts and give names to established characters who had gone nameless before.

You gotta love the part where she does the "Jedi" mind thing on her parents even with Grim's help.

I think it was suppose to be a Dune reference and not necessarily a Star Wars reference.

[FinnMacCool]

Well, there's so much of a Dune influence in Star Wars that the lines become kind of blurry.

Favorite moment was when Harold, upon hearing Mandy wasn't his daughter, began questioning everything, eventually deciding it was all an alien conspiracy keeping him down.

After seeing "Scary Poppins",nothing would make me
happier than to see the Powerpuff Girls appear on an
upcoming episode to beat the snot out of Mandy!
She's EVIL!
Of course,if they DID,they'd make Mandy win,just to
shock the audience,for shock's sake!
The funny thing is,Mandy is my favorite character
on this show.She's the only reason I bother to watch
any of the newer episodes,but she's just asking for a
fight!

[GOB]

It's too bad Grim's Dad didn't call anybody "Dumbass" or threatened to put his foot up someone's ass.

Wow, that is one dead cat.

Without that sheepskin, you are nothing. And not the kind of nothing that you are now. An even lower, more pathetic nothing.

It's about the rules. And without the rules we might as well all be up in a tree flinging our crap at each other.

[Jyose]

Mandy stopped being funny or original 2 years ago.

[Mr. Insomnia]

Mandy stopped being funny or original 2 years ago.
That's a pretty idiotic thing to say. Considering Mandy is such a one dimensional character that is not supposed to be funny really, and is only useful for comedic setup.
