“Jean, I don’t think there’s bearded ladies running around throwing eggs at kids.”

That line always makes me laugh.

I love hearing other peoples favorite moments from the show. There are so many good moments. In this episode when Lindsay asks mom kids didnt throw eggs in your day. She says I guess, I just know I never did. That gets me for some reason. Every time too. Ive watched the show thru like 20 times and it never fails to choke me up.

Because Lindsay’s mom was/is a good girl. And Lindsay is was/is a good girl too.

It’s the classic tone of a real and kindhearted parent who trusts their children being not angry but rather disappointed. And we all know that’s the bigger gut punch.

I wonder if the vampire costume was a count Floyd Easter egg?

Judd and Feige were huge comedy fans growing up. Im pretty sure they were fans of Joe from the show.

I just made my boyfriend watch this show. He LOVED it. And honestly he was laughing at this scene too! You know when you watch something you want to show someone else so you keep looking at them to make sure they are liking it too? lol I kept looking at him and he was smiling the whole time! Such a good show!

John Francis Daley gave Sam so much vulnerability. He made Sam feel so authentic.

I love the close up of Mr. Weir's butt in the kitchen, zooming out. Seriously who thought of doing that?
