That confused me also. I thought Brad wanted to make food because of the munchies. It almost seemed as if something were changed last minute by the writers and that was the best they could come up with.

Another thing...anyone else notice how Janet was a little uncomfortable about the 'stain' on Trina's dress. Made me raise an eyebrow!

This was probably the best episode yet. Couldn't wait to see what others had to say about it.

Did anyone happen to catch the name of the swing club and its double meaning. I thought it was great.

The Pendulum Club. I was actually wondering if that club ever actually existed in Chicago. I know there is/was a Pendulum Club in TX.

Yes and what do pendulums do they SWING. I just thought the name and the double meaning were great.

My favorite parts of this episode were...

Parts I laughed:

1. First mention of the "Unicorn" and her taking a bee line to Roger.
2. The "Unicorn" hanging on Roger and Janet coming over... the look on Janet's face was priceless.
3. Everyone wondering where Roger and Janet went to ... and then they come out from behind the 'play area' curtain. I almost fell out of my seat laughing so hard.
4. Doug and Lorrie freaking out when the car showed up. (was a bit disappointed in the decision to hide)
5. When Lorrie covers her ears and says "I'm in hell..."
6. When Janet returns the dress and mentions there was a 'stain' on it...

Parts I felt were good lessons:

1. Trina attempting to make up with Janet. I feel Trina really does like Janet as a friend and wants to retain that friendship.
2. When Tom fesses up to Susan. I was a bit disappointed that he tried to down play it instead of just being brutally honest with his lovely bride.
3. When Tom kissed Janet and told her she was a very desirable woman and to NEVER forget it.
4. When Roger left with Janet. That says it all... he wants what she wants first.

Parts that made me go "Huh?":

1. When the idiot son of Janet and Roger tried to kiss the girl in the closet while also trying to kill her relationship with his best friend.
2. When Doug and Lorrie decided to 'hide'.
3. When Bruce blew up at his daughter and kind of at his wife too. (Although Susan and Bruce were both stoned, so I'll give them some slack here.)
4. In next week's preview when it looks like Bruce hits a phone on a table or knocks it off the table. WTF?

Anyway... EXCELLENT episode... my wife and I loved it. Can't wait until next week!!!

I still think Janet & Roger's boy is gay, and has a serious crush on B.J. He's afraid he's going to lose both his friend [I]and/I] the object of his affection to Samantha.

Not sure what you mean. Like your local channel isn't showing the new episodes?

Perhaps a good episode as many said. What bothered us was equating mature married couples playing and wanting to swap mates with another couple for sex with Lorrie, their teenage daughter, having sex with her highschool teacher!
