1-18 Recap	I'll Take ManNOTtan A Key Exchange - Randi Mayem Singer challenges us to a grudge match, including every known New York landmark in the background of this episode.

1-14 Recap	The Foul Nine Yards Animal Planet, Part II - Jack and Jill go long, driving Tumbleweed to request reassignment to a chaster show like Seventh Heaven. Elispa rejects capitalist consumerism in favor of marathon staring contests. Mikey gets a subplot that promises to leave him shirtless for the next few episodes, while Barto, thankfully, keeps his clothes on for once.	02.12.2000 02.25.2000	D	Tumbleweed
1-13 Recap	Animal Planet, Part I Animal Planet, Part I - Jack lists Jill's good qualities, which include good lips and major chemistry, but his cons are that he's jobless and wears hats. When did my mother get a job writing for third-tier TV shows?	02.05.2000 02.05.2000	N/A	Manimal
1-12 Recap	When You Wish Upon A Car When You Wish Upon A Car - Please note that when diluting all the precepts of magical realism, make sure you start with a shot of a blandly handsome second-rate TV star and his enormous cleft chin.	01.22.2000 01.22.2000	D	Manimal
1-11 Recap	Bad Timing And Dirty Laundry Bad Timing And Dirty Laundry - Jill scraps specificity for soul-smooching, hoisting Jack on the dryers for the PG-13 clinch we all saw on the previews.

1-9 Recap	Pseudos, Sex And Sidebars Pseudos, Sex And Sidebars - Mikey announces his desire to seek out "a pseudo-girlfriend," a phenomenon he defines as "more than a one-night stand but less than someone you've got to go out with every Saturday night." I believe the correct term would be "quasi-" or even "semi-girlfriend," but who's asking. Certainly not Randi Mayem Singer, who wrote this episode.	12.18.1999 12.18.1999	N/A	Tumbleweed
