March 19, 2007: Welcome Back, Kandi
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time we saw Kandi and Alan together, weren’t they fighting over who would get to keep the dog? Now, a few repeats later, we find Alan not only lending Kandi his lab coat for her audition, but he’s also reading lines to help her prepare! I’m so confused. Weren’t these two supposed to be at odds? I guess this just further helps to illustrate how much of a hold she still has on Alan, despite their divorce.
Aside from the unusualness of the situation, it was great to see Kandi back in action. I was also very impressed with her ability to correctly pronounce all of those medical terms tonight. Well, aside from fur-nus-ic, that is. It was also hard to tell if Kandi was auditioning for a cop show or an adult-film project, especially with a show title like "Stiffs." At any rate, the Harper men certainly seemed to enjoy watching her rehearse in their living room.
Speaking of adult content, this week Jake seemed to be showing a lot more interest in scantily clad women, via the new posters he was busy nailing onto the walls. Can't say I blame him for taking down his Harry Potter posters, though; he was probably just reacting to the news that Emma Watson is trying to bail on the last two films in the series. OK, so that's probably not the real reason he did it, but I did just read that news on our website and I couldn't help but make the reference.
Anyway... tonight turned out to be a really rough night for Alan. Realizing that Jake was growing up fast, Alan was suddenly starting to feel like he and his boy were running out of valuable time to engage in "father-son stuff." So, in a noble attempt to spend more time together, Alan planned a camping trip for him and Jake. Had it not been for the torrential downpour, the inadequate tent they had, and their shared discomfort in relieving themselves in a coffee can, they might have had a good time. Unfortunately, that just wasn't the case.
So, after one bad trip with Jake, what does Alan think of doing next? Having another kid with Kandi. Now, who could have guessed that was the "big reason" they split in the first place? As we learned tonight, it wasn't the little things that broke them up, like the way Alan's toenails grew or his ear hair.... No, it was the fact that Kandi wanted to have a baby and Alan didn't. More surprising than that was Kandi's willingness to procreate with Alan, when he presented her with the idea. Of course, that was all before she got the call from her agent telling her she had landed the part on "Stiffs." Suddenly, the divorce papers reappeared and in one quick stroke of the pen, Alan and Kandi were kaput.
Now, as bad as I felt for Alan, I still couldn't help but think... is this really the last time we'll get to see Kandi?

I missed the beginning (yes, I was watching Dancing With The Stars!) and wasn't sure if it was even going to be on ... I'm so confused with March Madness ... anyway, I really loved the end when they were watching Kandi ... so hilarious and great facial expressions. After Jake said he'd be in his room I SO thought that Charlie would say the same thing ... kind of like Jayne "I'll be in my bunk" Cobb from Firefly.

First of all... the so called, "News" about Emma Watson came from a British tabloid that is akin to our National Inquirer, and I really wish TVGUIDE would stop plugging it so much and causing undue bad feelings towards the girl.
Second of all, not a bad episode. I personally can't stand Kandi, but it was funny anyway. I just wish they'd find Alan a nice, normal girl, but I guess that wouldn't really fit the show. Plus, I really miss the neighbor. She was my favorite on the show.

I myself LOVE Kandi!! I think that her and Berta really bring a lot to this show! Speaking of Berta - it wasn't quite the same last night without her!
I really enjoyed the CSI: Miami parody (just my opinion) with Kandi playing a female version of Horatio Caine!! That was awesome!
And don't forget Jake at the end doing his little role-playing game with his poster girls! He really fit the part of Harry Potter!
GREAT EPISODE!

Good show. I love Kandi in the show, I actually wish that her and Allan were still married.
Is Rose really gone for good? I did see that episode when she left but I was always hoping that she would come back!
I think that the producers should bring back Mia for Charlie. I loved them together!

The actress who plays Rose is in a new FOX show called "Drive". I'm guessing her part was left open so she could come back if her FOX shows bombs.

and keeping in the "CSI" theme, how funny was it that "Stiffs" theme song was the Who song "Squeeze Box". Inspired indeed!
