Wow, that episode was amazing. Packed full of comedy and drama, and longer than usual to kick off the season.
Comedic highlights include the first Will/Ellen conversation (especialy cause I heard the arguement at least twice while at Comic-Con in New York) and the Mcdonalds statues.
Dramatic highlights were definatly Chris and Cathy's problems, and I can't wait to get more on Cathy's situtation.
Great to see the Lunchroom back Bruce, i've been looking almost everyday hoping it was here.
Hey Bruce, Episode 2 was great also, I can't believe everyone isn't flocking to this board like I am! The episode previews have got me anticipation every one of them, especially Episode 6.
Almost finished with Episode 4, titled "Teacher's Pet." It's probably the most controversial thing we've done since the KKK episode in Season 1. It deals with some very close relationships between teachers and students. VERY close.
Some of what I listed above is going to change. Mr E will not return in Episode 4, but instead episode 11.
The Series Finale is being written on the side as the season progresses. Expect to see a very large amoung of Guest Stars.
Hopefully who ever is reading is enjoying.

The Final Episode of The Lunchroom Coming Summer 2010
(Time for my "I love The lunchroom" post, considering the new episode is out.) I loved it. Looking forward to the next one.
On a different note, you said something to me awhile back about possibly adapting the show to TV, anything happening with that, or did it just never happen?
Wow, so I caught up, great episodes. I noticed morer typos than usual, but that doesn't bother me.
Anyway, Episode Sx actually bummed me out pretty bad. I had forgotten you said one of the characters would be leaving, and so when it happened. I was shocked. I'm also a little bummed it was Chris, cause I think his storyline could've had a lot of potential, and it sucks to see a character that has made me laugh for four seasons go out on such a down note.
Chris isn't gone yet. Episode Seven will be his last episode and it will more of a high note then Episode 6.
Trials of Chris Hughes" was used basically to set up Chris' final appearance.
Believe me when I say that Chris' actual last episode will be a happy one. While we don't wrap up his story completely, we do close this chapter of his life.
Chris will return before the series ends and we'll wrap up his story then.
Thanks for the read.

The Final Episode of The Lunchroom Coming Summer 2010
Ah, awesome. I was just re-reading the thread at the tme and saw that you said Episode Six would be the last episode of a Series Regular, so I made that assumption. I should've known they'd close everything up.
Glad to hear he'll go out on a high note, can't wait for it.
It's been a while since we last had an episode up and it's going to be just a wee bit longer before we start again. We're on hiatus right now, stockpiling scripts and reworking existing scripts.
We're looking at either a March 5th start date or April 2nd start date. I know it seems like a long time but on the plus side this way they'll be no more breaks. Just the final 12 episodes in a row, without interruption.
Next episode will be the hour long goodbye to Chris entitled "It Happened One Night."

The Final Episode of The Lunchroom Coming Summer 2010
I'm a little new to this and just read the entire first season last night, I'm in the middle of second season right now. I must say, it is a very good show with characters. It's almost like the a more mature version of Degrassi (IMO). Great job and I can't wait to see the rest of the series.
