I'm kind of surprised, though I know the show was not a 'big thing' when it was on (only 4 seasons). I found the show somewhat annoying, due to the wonderful characterization of Old Christine by Julia Louise Dreyfuss as 'somewhat annoying', LOL. And the wonderful Wanda Sykes often seemed like she wandered in from another show altogether....I digress. This is the episode where Christine and her brother think her ex-husband took 11 year old Ritchie to a Rolling Stones concert. Christine objects to this strenuously, feeling their son is too young and will 'get lost going to the bathroom there alone.' Seriously, that is her main complaint, that her ex-husband won't do good enough parenting! (and he has shown to be a very good father, always)....So she and her brother go downtown to the concert venue and try to get in so she can find her ex-husband and son and keep an eye on them (the son, of course). They don't have tickets and the scene where they try to buy them at the cashier window is so funny, I was laughing out loud! The man at the cashier window was hilarious! 'Oh, you want tickets? We've been sold out for weeks - IT'S THE ROLLING STONES!' and there is even more, lol. All of it is so funny, exactly what you would expect from a couple of ditzes like Christine and her brother Matthew.....There are a handful of really funny laugh-out loud episodes in this series, mostly it is fair to good, but has moments where you just have to laugh at the poor woman's messy life.
