(Tah dah, my reconstructed, writers'-blocky post. A big chunk of meta stuff didn't get revived, but probably that's just as well. This version is rambling enough. Now for sleeeeep.)
I wonder if Kathryn Joosten is as much like Mrs. Landingham in real life as she is in every role I've seen her in, or if she just has a knack for playing "tart-tongued older women with kind hearts and lots of common sense." Whatever the reason is, she makes a good God. And Joan's giddiness about her boat was adorable- we haven't seen her that happy very often. But overall, it was an uneven, unbalanced episode (you could say that there was some meta-connection with Helen's comment that the family is unbalanced, I suppose, but I doubt that was what they were going for).

Also, brief thoughts from Matt Roush of TVGuide on Kevin, and the show's success so far.
