1-20 Recap	Don't Ask Bad News - Don't ask your husband if he kissed your half-sister, because he totally did. Don't ask your student out on a date, because it's skeevesville, and she'll give you what-for for acting like a pretentious ass. Don't ask your boyfriend to marry you in the aftermath of a tragedy, because he won't say no, but he won't say yes, either, and it's awkward. And don't ask Justin to keep a secret for you, because renting a billboard is a lot faster.	2007.04.29 2007.05.02	B	Sars
1-19 Recap	Played Game Night - Kitty plays at matchmaker with Kevin and Jason McCallister, and loses. The Walker family faces off against the Joneses at game night, and loses.

Don't worry, Kevin and Chad are seriously nailing each other.	2007.01.21 2007.01.24	A+	Couch Baron
1-12 Recap	Hanging Chad Sexual Politics - I have written some crappy headlines in my career; this is not the worst, but it's in the bottom ten. I apologize to you all. Anyway: Kitty and Robert get closer, almost by mistake; Nora tries dating, with middling results; Tommy and Julia have too much sex; Sarah and Joe have trouble connecting; and Matthew Rhys and Jason Lewis make out, which bumped the episode grade up at least two notches.	2007.01.14 2007.01.17	B-	Sars
1-11 Recap	Crossfire Family Day - Everyone's angry at someone in this episode, and everyone's dumping it on Justin when they visit him at rehab -- and on each other during the rehab's family session.

It's a pretty lame episode, but thanks to Kitty's excessively flattering B-plot, Warren gets bagged on repeatedly, so it's not a total loss.	2006.12.10 2006.12.14	C+	Sars
1-9 Recap	Discovery Phase Mistakes Were Made, Part II - Road-Trip Sarah reveals the existence of Rebecca to Tommy and Kevin, on an out-of-town jaunt that just happens to solve Ojai's financial problems. Kitty tries to get Justin out of his military recall by going easy on McCallister in an interview, which torpedoes her TV career but paves the way for romance, and a reconciliation between her and Nora.

1-8 Recap	I Want You Back Mistakes Were Made, Part I - Justin gets called back to the Army, causing substance-abuse binges and flashbacks to 9/11. Sarah finally cracks the hidden accounts, using hidden family secrets and common damn sense.	2006.11.12 2006.11.15	A-	Joe R
1-7 Recap	Rock The Treehouse Of Love Northern Exposure - The Walkers come marching two by two to the old cabin in Ojai, and a half-dozen romantic getaways become one big family weekend. It's all tractors, treehouses, and sperm from there.	2006.11.05 2006.11.08	A-	Joe R

Kitty, Saul, and Kevin have similar problems involving miscommunication and differing intentions, but it's Jonathan who thankfully smugs his way out of our lives forever.	2006.10.22 2006.10.25	A	Couch Baron
1-4 Recap	Golf Is Hell… Family Portrait - …or at least it is according to Kevin. Nora guilts Kevin into playing in a golf event with her, causing him to freak out about how he has no life. Nora also alienates Kitty, but they make up in the wake of Paige's diagnosis with diabetes. And Tommy has had it up to here with Juzzzzz.	2006.10.15 2006.10.18	C	Couch Baron
1-3 Recap	Bipartisan Relationships Affairs Of State - Kitty bangs Warren, causing her to lose Jonathan, which would be sad in the Bizarro world. Meanwhile, Nora's not as clueless as her children think she is. Nothing against her, but that's not saying much.	2006.10.08 2006.10.11	B+	Couch Baron
1-2 Recap	Father Knows Best An Act Of Will - How to rile the entire family, that is. William's will sets sibling against sibling, puts Kevin in the middle, sends Justin on a bender, sets Holly out on the curb, and rockets Sally Field straight into dinner-theater territory.	2006.09.31 2006.10.02	B	Sars
1-1 Recap	The Magnificent Seven Patriarchy - In the episode that introduces us to the Walker clan, their neuroses, and a few of their secrets, we also discover that all is not as it seems with their patriarch, William -- who rudely suffers a cardiac event before anyone can get to the bottom of things. Well, "things" besides the pool. (Oh, please, you were tohhh-tally thinking it.)	2006.09.24 2006.09.27	B+	Sars
