(S03E04) The Modine has landed! This week, we got our first look at Sullivan Groff and, through him, the up-and-coming community of Majestic. It's probably a bad sign that Sullivan regards Agrestic as a potential toilet bowl, but who cares? His hair looked fabulous!
Sullivan didn't waste any time putting his looks and charm to use on his new neighbors. After schmoozing with the city council members, he managed to (unsuccessfully) hit on both Nancy and Celia--not bad for a thirty-minute episode. Something tells me that he won't take no for an answer in Celia's case. Either way, it's great to see Matthew Modine again. No offense to Kevin Nealon, but I've been waiting for a hot older man to turn up on this show.

(S03E02) After watching this episode, I feel like Season Three can truly begin. All of the extended cliffhangers were resolved, but nobody went home satisfied (except perhaps U-Turn). As far as I'm concerned, the best comedic moments on this show come from the characters' worst moments. If this week's episode is any indication, we're in for a fabulous season.

While I'm not surprised that this episode featured a serious catfight, I am surprised at who was involved. Celia certainly had it coming after drowning Nancy's pot in the pool, but it was not to be. Heylia's slap was both justifiable and hilarious. I was disappointed when Heylia didn't turn up in the season premiere, but it was great to see her back in the thick of things again. Now that Conrad is part of U-Turn's work force, he'll need his aunt on his side.
