Yea, Charlie, that happened again last night during the opening sequence. My wife and I both were convinced that girl was going to take a header on the diving board, since they normally follow the "sick" character right from the beginning. I liked it when nothing happened - so anticlimactic that it was entertaining.
Great show - hopefully it is here to stay for a few seasons. Although, sorry Erika, but it seems to me that in the "real world", a guy that looks like 'ol Hugh wouldn't ever get a chick like that doctor (sorry, forgot her name) who was practically begging for a date....she is so HOT!
