Review of And It's Surely to Their Credit
Written by Toniann
Am I the only one that got a little verklempt when Toby told CJ that
she's a beautiful woman? I *love* those two together, and I don't mean
necessarily that I want to see an office romance or anything, just the
chemistry those two actors have on screen is a pleasure to watch.
They Call Her Ms. Cregg: speaking of CJ, I knew we were going
somewhere with that particular storyline when she corrected the
General's aide. You go, girl.
You mean, the President and the First Lady haven't done it in the Oval
Office? Come on, I'm sorry, if my husband were elected President... I
mean, let's be honest, wouldn't we all? At least once, just to say we'd
done it? (no pun intended)
This Week's Comment From Mom, As The Credits Rolled: "Well, that
episode was a letdown." "Why, Mom?" "They never said if it was Penzance
or Pinafore."
Speaking of credit, am I obtuse? What is the title referring to,
anyhow?
Hey, did anyone watch Titans? So did the old guy have a heart attack
because he found out about his wife & son having done the deed, or what?
Okay, okay, so I watched the first couple of episodes, but I tore
myself away finally. I think. That show is so bad, it's like a train
wreck, you can't look away.
I thought Donna's "I'm the Deputy Deputy Chief of Staff!" bit would've
gotten a polite chuckle at least. Okay, a polite grin. An upturning of
some mouths or something. Oh, okay, it was a really bad joke.
Confession: I am a dialogue thief. I had a pretty crappy day going at
work and a jolly coworker chose that particular moment to make a snide
comment... so I stole Ainsley's bit to Sam about saving the rudeness
until tomorrow or Saturday even, and promising that she'd be up to it
then. I know Sorkin et al have really been pushing for us to like this
character, sometimes with a heavy hand, but what can I say, it's
working, imho.
I got the "Not you and me" joke Charlie had with Abby the first time
around, thank you very much... and I wasn't so sure that this is a topic
that she or the President would be so jocular about with the young lad,
considering he's sleeping with their daughter. But that's just me.
Josh has really lousy insurance. Or, more to the point that Lynn has
pointed out elsewhere, the White House Personnel Office needs to do a
better job of explaining "Worker's Compensation" to these guys.
Last but not least, boy those were useless previews for next week. I
already knew the next episode was going to air the night after Election
Day, but that's about all they revealed. Come on, throw me a bone here!
