TiVo Synopsis: JT's dream about marrying girlfriend Sam turns into a nightmare.

Thanks for the dopey description, TiVo. Now let a REAL man show you how it's done!

In this episode: Danas lookin' hot in this episode. In the opening her hooters look great.

Karen comes home with Hunky TRIPLETS, dressed identical. It's the creepiest thing I ever saw. Man if the Kinsey scale was based on how much shuttering I did when I saw them it would conclude wholeheartedly that I am 100% heterosexual. Get them off my TV! And all you whooping people in studio audience shut up!

This episode is basically about JT getting emasculated by his girlfriend who is better at dumb shit than JT, like playing pool and hitting baseballs. She even punches out a stereotypical creepo who comes on strong “what are you doing with this WIMP?” he asks Sam. JT is actually fine with his lady friend being better at him at bullshit, which is... not like him, is it? His little friend Rich (I call him little because my friend had an encounter with him at Disneyland: She was carrying on a conversation with her friends and referred to something as being “little,” and the actor who played Rich poked his head in the conversation and went "HEY I'M NOT THAT LITTLE" and then ran off, just to mess with them) eggs JT on to take issue with it, turning into a Tim Allen Jr. that legally was obligated to hold back the grunts. This is not like Rich. Also weird; Every time he gets on a chauvinistic RANT everyone hoots in the audience, even the girls.

JT Then has a dream where he is getting married to Sam, and HE is the bride and SAM is the groom. It’s one scene, and TiVo uses it to sum up the entire episode. Way to go, TIVO. Brendon shows up in this dream. I guess that's what Tivo meant by it turning into a nightmare.

Lilly Watch: Lilly has a bonafide sub-plot in this. She needs to get a tetanus shot and is scared. She does stupid cute shit like sing the itsy bitsy spider and proclaims her love for Barney. She also appears in the dream as JT's flower girl that sucks. The camera just follows her (for way too long I might add) to her seat while she smiles like an idiot. What a shitty actor she is.

Mark Watch: Delivers the doctor's mail to Lilly saying she needs a tetanus shot, but dorks it up by striking fear into her heart. "WOAH THOSE REALLY HURT!" what an idiot. He also shows up in the dream, not getting Brendon's childish sexual innuendos about JT and Sam’s wedding night.

The End: Carol dreams about the TRIPLETS, in their third appearance in the episode (they also appear in JT's dream, how ludicrous). They fawn over her, only to be spurned. She has all the man she needs already. Frank then enters wearing a pair of jeans, a tool belt, and a flannel vest, exposing his bare chest. He throws the toolbelt to the tools and says "go build yourself a toy" and takes Carol upstairs presumably to dress up like a cartoon character and fuck her.

Man I only recorded one of the episodes that aired today because I managed to fill my DVR to the brim and it was not the episode Jixby posted about so I was lost. The one I saw was a "battle of the sexes" episode that the writers wrote by taking the Boy Meets World script where Eric says "all men... are IDIOTS"* and find/replacing all the character names. There was also a lot more Lily and Mark I'll tell you that, Lily had a whole subplot about being afraid of getting a shot, and Mark was in a whopping two scenes being a withered dick. Even Brendon, who I would have sworn was killed off by that point was in a scene looking like a garbage bag full of diarrhea (it was a fantasy scene though so it might not count).

*- Regarding that Boy Meets World episode, just earlier today I was thinking about it, and specifically how the "hunky guys" that threaten Corey and Shawn's masculinity are named Sergio and Nunzio. What a weird choice for a name of a pair of characters. Sergio and NUNZIO. What the hell, right?
