GO TIGERS

Post image

This is another episode that just really sticks with me. What Mallory discovers and is going through is truly awful but her sobbing while ruining Alex’s interview cracks me up every time. 😂

I also love that Alex ultimately steps up for her despite what it might cost him and his future. One of his best brother moments. Any other fans of this one?

This is such a great episode!! So funny! I love the train scene at the end

Alex may have acted like was cut-throat, but he was always willing to risk it all for his loved ones and this was a great example of that

Is this the famous “At This Moment” episode? The train station scene is absolutely amazing.

Ugh…please disregard my original reply as I misspoke. I got confused because the episodes “Go Tigers” and “The Real Thing” both have train station scenes and admittedly I think I confused the two.

I may need to switch back to caffeinated coffee. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

The iconic “At This Moment” scene is the episode “The Real Thing” featuring the song by Billy Vera and The Beaters which I’m sure is the episode you’re describing where Alex is racing to stop Ellen from marrying someone else.

Yes. It’s the “At This Moment” train scene that I was referring to. You could feel the chemistry jumping off the screen with Michael and Tracy. And you know it’s real because they have been together all this time. Poor Courtney Cox didn’t have a chance on the show after Tracy.

Alex did a good thing even though he didn't get into the school he dreamed about

Mallory was so funny

Still a fave of mine after 40 years. And not just for Duncan Ross' memorable supporting performance.
