Breaking In 1.04 + 1.05
Dutch's persistence to get Melanie's dad to like him and his lack of perception when it comes to invading privacy really comes off as hilarious through Michael Rosenbaum's performance. He's clearly having fun with the role and it shows. (And BTW, Rosenbaum beats Welling to wearing the proper 'S' shield on primetime TV, lol).
Maybe it's my wishful thinking but it feels like Dutch, Christian Slater's Oz has gotten an increased amount of screen time (lol, this reminds me of Smallville and how in the past fans were like counting the individual screen times of the actors). He's written funnily as well, especially how he seems to know everything and plan ahead and have rules. I really want this show to get renewed if Dutch & Oz continue t shine in the final two episodes of the season. It's the first live-action Fox comedy I've watched steadily.
The guest stars continued with the easily recognizable Ted McGinley (Happy Days, Married with Children) showing up as Melanie's conman father that Oz put away. And in the credits I noticed that Fred Savage (Wonder Years) directed the episode! How cool is that?
I've noticed that the unfortunate sufferer of Dutch's increased role is that Josh has become a background character to the degree of the blonde assistant lady that pops up from time to time despite being part of the "team". Too bad, because he is a clever character and I would enjoy more of him and less of Cash. I don't really have much to say about Melanie but I did find it funny that the show recognized that the actress bares a slight resemblance to Megan Fox, which is something that popped into my head when I watched the pilot and with the wig and Xena outfit, she looked AMAZING. Almost thought she could have been a young Lucy Lawless.
