Another spinoff epsisode attempt. It was awful. Skip it.

Warning: Spoilers
Jo goes to see her cousins. The writers of the show are trying to set up a spinoff with them.

There's next to nothing of the girls in this episode, except Jo who was more like a bystander to everything at her cousins' household.

The whole Italian family values and accents were so awful and very badly clichéd. I had to laugh seeing Megan Follows there. Anne of Green Gables herself, a Canadian actress, playing an Italian New Yorker, Brooklyn, character. Another canuck actor, Donnelly Rhodes, was there doing the same.

There was some sort of plot of Megan Follows' character, Terry, wanting to become more feminine and grown-up, and socializing with boys. Her brothers and father have a hard time with that.

Anyway, this was kind of cringeworthy. I can see why it didn't get a series. Thank gawd! 2/10.

The over acting(Italian New Yorkers) is unbearable, but it is a great episode! NBC was trying a "spin-off" here, but it never took off.
