Under One Roof - Season 1, Episode 9, "Moose Crossing"
On an all new Under One Roof, Winston's old football buddy is coming to town. But when he shows up, HE turns out to be a SHE! Can Winston take it like a man? (MyNetworktv.com)
Manatee: Take a cue from Ugly Betty, Sex change story lines suck.
Marmot: Yes, they do. At least Ugly Betty handled it with some compassion. This show is like that friend from high school that you see years later after you've grown up, but they're still making the same gay and racist jokes from 10 years ago.
Manatee: I'll tell you this much, I don't know the actress who played Moose but she's a heck of a lot different looking than Rebeca Romijn.
Marmot: You'd think she would have made an effort to change her name to something other than Moose.
Manatee: You would think.
Marmot: I wonder what that actress felt like auditioning for this part. We need you to play an attractive woman, but be passable as having once been a man.
Manatee: I hope they made her say the line, "Get off my booty, yo!" in the audition.
Marmot: Oh, so many great lines in this episode. Like "no matter which way you slice it, it's always there"
Manatee: Gross! I also like the reference to Whohas (sp?).
Marmot: GLAAD and other similar organizations would be all over this show if they knew it existed.
Manatee: I was slightly offended by the unnecessary squirting of whip cream into Cali Cal's mouth last night. What did you think about that bar set?
Marmot: It was awesomely terrible. I felt like I'd seen it before, though.
Manatee: I'll tell you where: stolen from the set of the 1990s high school series, Saved By The Bell, in which 3 pals, Zack, Slater, and Screech sneak out to a dance club to hang out with college age girls.
Marmot: You're right! Under One Roof: where old sets go to die.
