1-11 Recap	Let's Do The Time Warp Agaaa...Eh, Never Mind The Longest Day - Say goodbye to all this. And hello to oblivion.	2004.02.05 2004.02.10	C	Shack

1-10 Recap	Doug Petrie Pays The Rent Reunion - A former Buffy writer helps stink up the airwaves with an episode about a teacher who kills a student in order to steal her unpublished book. Couldn't he have waited until it was published and sue her for a chunk of the profits, claiming she ripped off his idea, like normal people do?	2004.01.22 2004.01.27	F	Shack
1-9 Recap	Shoot first; don't even bother with the questions Murder In The Morgue - A police officer tries to kill Tru and Davis in order to keep from getting framed for a murder he didn't commit. If this show gets any dumber, Shack will have to spell out the recaps phonetically.	2004.01.15 2004.01.18	N/A	Shack
1-8 Recap	Soldier of Misfortune Closure - Death is an option for a particularly dumb GI who runs away from a life-saving surgery to try to track down a former girlfriend. Tru reunites them before the soldier dies, leaving his girlfriend hoping that their son didn't inherit his daddy's intelligence. Oh, and speaking of daddies: they suck.	2004.01.08 2004.01.12	C-	Shack
1-7 Recap	One knife to rule them all Morning After - An unholy yellow-hilted blade of evil messes with Tru's tiny brain and forces a hapless hobbit to kill Professor Donutface (and a dark-green vase). Okay, not really, but it would have made a lot more sense than what actually happened.	2003.12.19 2003.12.21	D	Shack
1-6 Recap	American Grafruity Star Crossed - Two lesbians need Tru's help to escape from life trapped in a bad '50s teen drama. Lindsay needs Harrison's help to escape from a life trapped in a bad sexual harassment training video.	2003.12.11 2003.12.14	C	Shack
1-5 Recap	Intolerable Cruelty Haunted - What happens when you take a recapper raised on the finest Emmy-winning television pay cable has to offer and force him to sit through an hour of Tru Calling? If you've got a strong stomach, you can click the link above to find out. And if you don't have a strong stomach, why are you watching this show in the first place?	2003.12.04 2003.12.09	N/A	Aaron
1-4 Recap	Everything I need to know about screenwriting I learned in kindergarten Past Tense - The poison is in the ice! Roosters don't lay eggs! They don't bury the survivors! The parrot was deaf! The doctor was the patient's mother!	2003.11.20 2003.11.22	N/A	Shack
1-3 Recap	Blood Simpleton Brother's Keeper - Harrison falls in love with a woman he barely knows, so of course she's a psycho black-widow wannabe. Tru explains her special powers to him yet again, saves his ass yet again, and knocks stuff off her bedside table, yet again. Can a show fall into a rut by the third episode?	2003.11.13 2003.11.17	C+	Shack
1-2 Recap	What Not To Write Putting Out Fires - So, if you wrote a television show where your protagonist was somehow sent back in time to help a firefighter save a little girl, you would, like, show how he saved the girl, right? Right? Or at least mention how he did it? Or something? I guess we'll never write for television.	2003.11.06 2003.11.09	F	Shack
1-1 Recap	But will she take her shirt off? Pilot - She runs around New York trying to save people she doesn't know. The plot doesn't make any sense. Her relatives are problematic. The dialogue is insipid. Don't we already have a Tarzan?	2003.10.30 2003.11.01	C	Shack
