I agree completely. These last couple eps were much better. I've watched them both over and over and they really hold up. (Okay, I've watched all the Juanita bits like 20 times.) I tend to FF through the Ty bits because I really dislike this Ty. I wasn't crazy about the movie Ty, but this Ty just seems pathetic and boring to me.

Oh, God, I loved Noleta hiding her vibrator in the oven mitt.

And Brother Boy's determination to give Tammy Wynette at least ONE suicide...and then from only the 2nd floor. Bless his heart. (Oh, and I loved Lavonda putting his face on while he's in the coma.)

I love Olivia Newton-John to the ends of the earth, but I wish she would just sing and not talk or get a dialect coach or something, because it is really painful to listen to her try to sound Texan.

And, yes, 22 minutes is CRAP.
