This was a very good episode. I saw it on the original run and now another 10 years later. I enjoyed the flashbacks to were each character was on 9/11. I remember what I was doing; how can you forget that. There were a few inconsistencies but continuity has a tough job.

It's not very often you get to see Adam in a very heartfelt scene because he is usually a complete goofball, albeit a very dependable one. There were many people around the world and in this country who likely missed it first hand. Then there are millions who did and for them, including me, the world stood still during that time.

I did appreciate the flashback to Jo in Washington because, though the entirety of the events horrifying, the attack on the Pentagon and United Flight 93 can be overlooked.

The scene when Mac and Claire are talking on the phone just before the 2nd hit was chilling. In a matter of a few seconds, she is gone. Mac joining the team of lab techs trying to identify remains and the conversation he and a tech had was very moving.

I have to say, I totally agree with "LovesAStateOfMind"'s comment about Danny's uniform as a sergeant made me laugh because it also made ME giggle. I told my husband as we are watching it that Danny didn't "fit" that uniform. Some actors can convincingly play a cop; he can't. He looked like someone trying to dress up in costume.

The most heartbreaking in real life - there are 1,106 bodies still unidentified at the 20 year mark. So sad that the families of those people still have no closure. There are roughly 36 cities in New York alone that have that many people (give 50 either may). Imagine one of those towns being wiped off the map and can't found!!!

I haven't seen this in a while but have watched it a few times. I really enjoyed it; some hysterical moments and some eye rolling ones. Brendan Fraser and Michael DeLuise are the stand outs for me. Pauly Shore is really funny in the first go around but in later viewings and with his other movies, his schtick wears on you quickly. Fraser's goofball antics played out so well and DeLuise really nailed it as a douchbag. Sean Astin's "Dave" became an annoyance as he was so desperately trying to become popular and get his dream girl by using Link as his "in".

The supporting cast was good. You have the typical popular, sweetheart who is dating the douchebag and is best friends with the quirky hormonal girl. Dave's parents are a little dull and clueless. The douchebag has his minions who terrorize the nerds. The eccentric outsider (VERY outside) becomes the popular guy. Best buddies have a fall out. Guy and his dream girl have a falling out. They all dance around the eccentric new guy. All works out. The end.

I have really enjoyed Brendan Fraser's work over the years with the exception of the goofy cartoon-to-live action movies. He had a tough go of it personally in the past few years and it's great to see him coming back. I think he is very talented and has a very unique style that has been missed.

I watched this a few years ago and went into it knowing it would be stupid. It was. There are enough scathing reviews that say it all. Randy Quaid could have just borrowed money from Dennis if he was that hard up.

Cousin Eddie is like the SNL character skits that are turned into failed feature length movies - they are better in small doses.
