I looove Carlene. *biased, but seriously*

The promo showed that they do start to mention a little of what Amanda did to Carlene in the next episode.

I liked it for the most part. I have a tough time believing Amanda is the same age as the other women and has two teenage kids. She looks really young.

I love Annie Potts. I loved the comment her grandson made about if she had internet. "Why? I don't watch porn." LoL

Well, Leslie Bibb who plays Amanda is 37. Although she is the youngest of the 4 (Chenoweth is the oldest at 43), she's only a year younger than Nichols & Aspen and 3 years younger than Shor.

I'm not sure what the actual ages of the characters are, but it was stated that Amanda left Dallas 18 years ago. If she was 18 when she left, then she would have to be at least 36 now, more than old enough to have teen-aged children in H.S.

I understand that, but it's the actress who looks really young. She could def pass for someone in their late 20s.

I actually think Nichols looks younger than she does and I was surprised that she was actually older. Of course, the entire time I was watching GCB, I kept thinking she was SO familiar for some reason and then it hit me -- she played Frank Grillo's wife in "The Gates" that aired on ABC in the summer of 2010.

I'm a fan of the show having just viewed the pilot. I think it was a bit OTT at times but it has loads of potential. I just fear the DH syndrome, where it turns to crap when/if it gets a season two.

It did OK in the ratings. Not bad but not stellar, either.

I liked everyone. I'm interested in delving into these women's lives and secrets, they all seem to have a bevy of them. I hope they tone down the character's quirks just a tiny bit. Seeing Sharon eat in every scene was getting a little old. We get it. She gained weight. LOL

LOVE Annie Potts, Leslie Bibb and Kristin Chenoweth. I always have. They are doing great work. I was shocked at how much airtime Potts got. Thrilled though. She looks absolutely fantastic! So does Leslie Bibb. Man, I can't believe she's just 37. Damn she looks good.

I think we could have gotten to know the other women a little better. Cant wait for Cricket to realize her husband is sleeping with a guy and is she OK with her husband and Amanda being BFFs? I like that Heather, the real estate girl (is that her name? LOL) is on Amanda's side.

It was nice seeing Greg Vaughan. I just had to laugh that his character died while getting a blowjob in the car.

It's an interesting show and I'm definitely into it. I think it might fare better at 9PM though, it's not heavy enough to be a 10PM show, IMO. A more serious soap should air at 10. GCB is the perfect replacement for DH.

I think the point with Sharon was that she eats when she's stressed.

I can't wait to find out more about Carlene and Amanda. Amanda's not really reformed, since she landed right back in her bitchy ways quite easily. Can't wait to see Carlene retaliate for the church humiliation. Bitch on wheels, but with a heart deep down.

I agree that it'll fare better at 9PM.

Of course, of Amanda hadn't gotten back at Carlene, people would've said she was a doormat who should've stood up for herself. The entire show is about women being bitchy to each other. The dividing line is whether you are a good bitch or a bad bitch (or whether you use your bitchiness for good or for evil).

I really enjoyed the premiere. Sure it had its niggles, and I can see myself getting bored of it, but for now it is really fun to watch.

I thought it was very funny and really liked the premiere. I loved Annie Potts and thought she stole the show. The ratings weren't that great so I hope there is not a big drop off after the first episode. If that is the case the show wont make it past the ten episodes for this spring.

SO good! I absolutely love Annie.

And it was good to see Greg Vaughn again.

I can see them bringing back Rick's mistress, since no one ever said SHE died.

The girl that eats a lot... had me cracking UP!

Funniest parts for me were Carlene's telescope, Carlene asking the trainer to hurt her and of course, Amanda's revealing little prayer at church.

Can't wait for next week!!

A big WOW to Cricket knowing about Blake being gay. I'm curious as to why they even got together if she knew "the way he was".

And another big WOW to Blake's abs! And his foreman's abs, too! I don't blame Zack for wanting to start lifting weights. I do, too!

Carlene's hilarious. And Annie Potts is rockin' this!

I kind of love that she knows though. It's not typical, and it gives it another dimension. Like, why would she marry a guy she knew was gay? But then again, they seem to be besties, so it could be a perfect arrangement. Hope she gets to have some on the side too. And Blake abs are... out of this world.

Ripp and Carlene :wub: I love them, their sexual antics and wild attraction to each other so much.

I like this show, even if its a little too sugary at times. I'm guessing most this season will be about expanding the characters, as opposed to any real plot development - thats fine for now, but will get tired soon.
