- Quotes
JJ Pryor: Kennedy says it's time for new dreams, and new frontiers, not just the ones of our fathers.
Jack Pryor: President Kennedy who both went to college...
JJ Pryor: I know!
Jack Pryor: ...and loves football.
JJ Pryor: I know!
Jack Pryor: And you are going to...
JJ Pryor: No I'm not!
Jack Pryor: Will you let me finish a damn sentence? JJ, you have a chance to be something great. A tailback, an astronaut, or whatever the hell, but great! Now I know going to Notre Dame won't guarantee you anything, but it'll give you the best chance anyone could ask for. And I'm not going to stand by and let you piss away that chance. I just won't.
JJ Pryor: Maybe it's not up to you.
I love the way the Pryor kids bicker. It's so realistic! My fave scenes are at the dinner table. Dad rules and everyone has to obey.
I'm worried about JJ but the previews for this Sunday say he comes home. I hope it's to stay.
Meg is heading toward being a hippie and I can't wait to see how her character develops down the road, especially when she starts college.
I hope NBC has no plans to cancel this for a very long time!
