Bunheads - Inherit the Wind


As soon as Michelle was trying to get Hubbell’s car off of a private road and needed to contact the owner, we thought, “The owner is going to be a hot guy!” And we were right. He’s a little old for our taste, but Michelle is 37 (or at least the actress is). His house is supposed to look super nice, so we think he might be gay. Then we realized he was just “Manilow rich” and could hire a (slightly tacky and cliché) designer.

Still, usually a straight guy’s house looks something like Ern’s dad’s bachelor pad, which includes a foosball table, Three Stooges poster, golf putting practice machine, alligator skin couches with alligator skin drapes, no curtains, large rugs, inherited antiques, guns, large TV, two refrigerators full of steaks, and X-box. But maybe we just need to get the gender stereotypes out of our heads.

Anyway, the boys on this show have finally arrived. The rich one, Grant, is a douche so far. Give Michelle some wine, dude! Ginny’s brother, Charlie, was at the studio long enough for everyone to realize that Boo has a crush on him. Poor Boo. Sasha’s mean girl ways are back, but we are supposed to feel bad for her now because her mom is shallow, rich, and neglectful. We meet Boo’s mom, and she’s cool. The girls are in a contest with other ballet studios to see which one’s girls have the grossest feet. That was kind of funny.

Fanny starts acting really bitchy about Michelle inheriting everything, and Michelle is nice back. Michelle moves into the guest house behind the studio, leaves Fanny in the house, and assures Fanny that Hubbell didn’t mean to cut her off, because he thought Fanny would be dead before him. It makes sense! She didn't explain it well, but we get what she meant. Michelle also gives her wine. Slowly.

Ginny’s mother, Claire, tries to get Michelle to sell the house with her. She’s a real estate agent, and she has a real grudge against her ex-husband for leaving her. She’s also a little crazypants. Even though Michelle was so annoying in the scene where she was explaining to Grant how terrified she was to put down roots, we totally sympathize. Leeard's mother keeps trying to convince her to buy a house. We don’t want to own any houses yet! We want to move far and wide!

We guess this episode was better than last week’s, at least, but it wasn’t as good as the pilot. The problems from last week (the jokes trying too hard and the painful line delivery) were nearly gone last night. This show is really trying our patience with its slow moving plots. This episode's middle was duuuuuuullllllll. We have to wait two weeks for a new one (curses) and we hope Bunheads doesn’t lose the meager audience it has in that time. Sidenote: We love the word "snood" and will be using it whenever possible. We might even start wearing them just so we can tell people what they're called.

Episode grade: B

    1. Interesting thought. We're gonna say no, because we think Amy Sherman knows that the last thing this show needs is to be bogged down with a pregnancy storyline. Plus, we need to see Michelle dance more.

  2. The young girls on this show are really the driving force, in my opinion. We need to see much more of them, they are such talented young actresses and so captivating!

    1. The best thing for us has been the actress playing Michelle, but you're right that the girls need to be in this more.

  3. I don't know about this one ladies. Sticking around for A S-P, but for how much longer? What do you think?

    1. Honestly, Gilmore Girls is Leeard's favorite show, so she'll stick around for at least this first season. We don't blame you if you want to bail earlier, though.

    2. Ern will stay at least until Michelle starts teaching ballet and someone starts chillin with a love interest.

  4. I liked this episode. This show is definetly growing on me! Fun fact about this episode: The lady who played Ginny's Mom, Claire played Alex on the short lived, but wonderful "Saved By the Bell: The College Years." There is your useless knowledge for the day. You're welcome =)

    1. Ha! I missed just about everything to do with Saved by the Bell. I saw the one where the girl was like, "I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so scared!" That was pretty funny, actually.

  5. Ah yes! The episode where Jesse gets "addicted" to caffeine pills. That one really pushed the envelope!

    2. Yep, just caffeine pills. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0794963/. As a child of the 90's I've probably seen every Saved by the Bell at least twice & this episode is probably in my top 5 favorite. So funny!
