I have to ask... Nancy - why does the title say "Ted" ? Who's Ted?
I'd have to side with Nancy on the 'favor' thing... what's wrong with anyone else doing episode adaptations of the sort? People have been known to do things that are similar and I think it's great to have different takes on the same spin - I'd hate to think what would happen if we all staked claims on one idea each and asked others to keep away. Where's the fun in that.
This being said - the story was fun, but I would have loved to have seen in in a "story" format, rather than script. Easier to read, imho. I'm not sure I get what all the (X) mean in the text either. ?
I would have to agree about Jimmy and the age thing as well. Not just because he's dating an 18 year old when he's about 30-some, but going to a rave at 30-some is... somewhat unusual.

Unless of course Jimmy is still 20-some and then it would be nice for you to mention that.
Sure. I think the guys are playing
Basketball while the boys play little league, at 5.
that's sad.. she's leaving her kids at little league with, what - the sitter? Lois... be with your kids, girl. Then again, if they're boys, then superdad should go along with them, like most dads, right?
Perry and Candy invited us to a
monster truck rally;
Seems to me a couple with kids might want to take kids to such a thing.

Mind you, I get that this is a double date and not a family outing. Also, as for the excuse, they could so easily say they can't get a sitter. It would be quite logical.
We may have to kill them both.
Tonight.
What about the kids?
I think the scenes with the kids are sweet, although I'm not sure why they all ended up in the newsroom - don't some of them go to school? I would have liked to have seen how having kids could put a *twist* on the ep - as it is, the story is just exactly the same. That's kinda sad, I was expecting there to be some hurdles and problems and... I dunno, something exactly because they have children.
