    Season 7 bomb

    Season 7 started so funny but this really is a dud. Berta is the only bright spot in this episode as usual.

      Charlie Harper: [also nervously looking around] Uh... next week.

      Alan Harper: Huh. So, uh... so her dad's out of the hospital?

      Alan Harper: Huh. So he had a bad hip?

      Charlie Harper: No, Alan, he had a bad tooth, but he went to the wrong doctor.

      Alan Harper: You don't have to be snide.

      Charlie Harper: You don't have to ask dumb-ass questions.

      Jake Harper: He didn't ask me anything!
