Is THAT what women want? WAAAY too much time spent on nothing at all, unfocused and jerky in a desperately-need-updated-graphics-card- drivers way, and all in white at that? I was ready to change the channel after the first 15 seconds. If they really want to sell something, they need to do some SERIOUS editing on that commercial. Oh wait, that's just Petey's fantasy. Apparently he's dyslexic, along with being a smartass.

Why are Joni and Laurie at the corporate meeting? If they are going for the "young" perspective, they might consider more than two people. Are they part of the company or just brought in for the meeting?

Greenlee knows what Maggie dreams about at night -- she thinks Maggie dreams about standing around wearing gloves that would be much too big on Mike Tyson (or OJ, for that matter). Add a surgical cap that just rests on her head and would, no doubt, fall over her face the second she looked down, and you've got yourself a career fantasy! (Why is Maggie still holding up her hands? I only hold my hands like that when my fingers are bleeding to the point where I fear imminent hemorrhaging. And what the hell kind of scalpel is THAT? It looked like a deer-gutting knife!)

Was I the only who busted out laughing when Maggie explained her REAL dream -- the one where she and Anna walk around the corner in trenchcoats to rescue Bianca? When I saw the way they walked, I laughed for about 2 minutes! That was a scream! I may fly, float and breathe underwater in my dreams, but I NEVER walk like that! And that Wonder Woman-like getup -- ROTFLMAO! Don't we have enough of pants that wedge up out butt-crack while we're AWAKE? If I'm dreaming about wearing something like that, it's probably because my jammies have wandered. (I DID wear hot pants back in the 70s -- I was offered a job for $200 a week based solely on wearing them (in the bank, no less), although the "old guy" that offered me the job never really specified exactly what I would do, other than that it would involve being nice to men.)

Okay, now I know ONE of the reasons I hate some of JR's expressions -- it looks like he's trying to keep massive amounts of spit from spilling out of his mouth in an uncontrolled gush. No wonder he's so nauseating!

Petey's dancing? Um, yeah, that's what most 10-yr-olds dream about. He's good, though -- VERY good. Speaking of 10-yr-olds (or whatever age he is), how is it that he stayed a kid when Jamie suddenly became about 17? Jamie is only supposed to be 2 years older than Petey (I remember because Jamie was 2 when Tad came back, and Tad came back right about the time Opal gave birth to Petey -- he gave a soliq... solilli... soli... um... a little speech to Petey about life while Petey was in a bassinet in the hospital).

All in all, it was a very entertaining episode. I wouldn't want to see that kind of stuff every day, but it was a nice change of pace and meant to be mostly silly (God, I HOPE that was the intention!). It was also one of the RARE episodes that concentrated on a single storyline and took place entirely in one room (aside from the fantasies). Way too much white for my tastes, but hey, being able to wear white and get away with it IS a fantasy of most women, so maybe they're onto something, although I kept expecting someone to interrupt with a fantasy tampon commercial to go along with those whiter-than- white clothes.
