I loved this. It's got the warmth and character that made the series so much fun to watch. Thank you.

Excellent story! You've really captured the characters and spirit of the TV show.

Excellent! It's been a long time since this show was on, but the author continues the story easily.

Oh, fabulous! Kinda story that just brings a big grin to my face... I can almost taste the pie! Food is such an unacknowledged trasure, and I'm glad you explored this aspect of Michael's world further. Well done!

oh how i miss this show! after reading this i had to pull out the episodes i have taped and watch them - it's been way too long since i did that!
the characterization here was really well done - i can completely see michael coming up with this bet and the resulting guilt that Theo trys so HARD not to feel - but gives into in the end :) and extra points for throwing in Grandma Pearl - we never met her, but the way Theo spoke of her (and threatened Michael) cracks me up every time.
major kudos on a fic well written :)
