moving backwards in time...ever wonder if someone from JACK & KAREN reads boards? there were at least two if not three musical theatre references last night: one joke about "major cast changes" in MILLIE, and one about WEST SIDE STORY clapping. i've read that actors adlib at times. Then there was the episode built around superfans of MAMMA MIA. It just makes you wonder...there has been a couple of threads on boards noticing the musical theatre references, and now they seem to be happening more than ever.

Finally watched IT'S ALL RELATIVE and also another episode of OC. Is the "troubled kid" on OC somehow related to (or the same actor after a growth spurt) the actor playing Jack's son on JACK & KAREN? the really resemble each other and have the same facial expressions, particularly in their use of "listening eyes." Both are good, just wondering if there's a connection.

As for ALL RELATIVE, what is that accent that Harriet Harris is trying to do? she's adept at those, but this one is really annoying. Fun seeing Victor Garber guesting...isn't he rumored to be one of Sieber's exes?!?!?

She is trying, very unsucessfully, to do a Boston accent. I think she is trying particularly to do a South Boston accent. It's so far off that she sounds more like someone from Northern, rural Maine. If you think it awful, imagine what us Bostonians think about it.
