I happened to be flipping past the "Bubba the Love Sponge" show on the radio the other day and they were talking about this. They said this was the episode where Nip/Tuck officially jumped the shark. And Bubba is a gigantic Nip/Tuck fan.
But I must admit, I wouldn't kick Melissa Gilbert out of bed.
Fine, as long as you don't mind sloppy seconds from a DOG.
(i know, i know, it's TV, but just the thought...)
