March 18, 2007: "Glen's New Friend"
I don't know what was sadder, when Alison told Glen that Josh's new friend was the "first time he has ever had a 'cool' friend," or when Glen actually followed Josh and his new friend Murray to the movies! And let's not forget that Josh actually took his new friend's side when Murray called the usher to get rid of Glen. Poor Glen! Is this guy ever going to catch a break? I know we already know he ends up a millionaire, but I wish there was some indication of Glen losing some of his insecurities as well. My heart just breaks for Glen in moments like these.
I am happy that the show is focusing more on Glen's work life than his home life. His parents never really do it for me, and while they do serve to let us know how pathetic Glen is, I just am not feeling the laughs coming from them. His mom
did have one great line tonight though when she told Glen that she bought him and his new friend tickets to the Ice Capades.
While I'm not a huge fan of the parents, I think that Glen's co-workers are getting funnier and I'm glad to see Glen interacting with someone his own age! Even if it means he's getting set up on a date with a man. I loved when Glen thought his date couldn't be gay because he liked football. Hearing him rattle off the list of things that defines a gay man (Barbies, antiques, etc.) was in classic naïve-Glen form.
As I have been in the past entries, I'd like to leave you with a list of all of our 90's references from tonight. In my opinion, they are the only indication that this show takes place in the 90's and I always get a kick out of hearing them. From tonight, we have Nell, Melrose Place, Addam's Family Values and I'm sure if I paid more attention to the world of football, there were some hidden in there as well.
Well, that leaves us with only one episode left! I'll be back soon with my thoughts on the finale. In the meantime, feel free to share your favorite moments from the season so far. And let me know if you think we will have a Season Two to look forward to!
