    Just large enough

    Michelle, PLEASE keep doing the Xena yell because it makes me laugh every time.

    Also, speaking of the large dog I love that in episode 4 Chris entered her house carrying a large sack of organic wheat. Can we expect Chris to continue coming into scenes carrying ridiculous, large objects? Next week, a wheelbarrow!

    excellent

     

     Fantastic blog! I laughed like an insane women! Esp when you two starrted saying spanish phrases, I was thinking shes gonna do it, shes gonna do it and YAY Michelle you didnt dissapoint. Donde es el bano (sp?) lol thats pretty much the key phrase that everyone knows, and its just fun to say lol. so anyway, thank you once again for a great blog.

    You know you guys cracked me

    You know you guys cracked me up trying to pronounce the Irish name.  Yiddish?  I don't think so but it does have origins in the indo-european family so maybe... ooh my geek alert is sounding.  drat!  Although I'm full sure you won't be able to pronounce my name either.  Megan keep talking 'as gaeilge' to me and I'll pretty much swoon.  From one native speaker to you both, 'Go raibh maith agaibh!' Thank you ! Michelle, Megan you've brightened an overcast day on these shores.

    Thank you Michelle and Megan

    Thank you Michelle for "delivering on your promise" of bringing us a guestbian... and thank you Megan for being such a great guestbian.

    I like that your vlogs are done out in the field... from hotel rooms to cruise ships!

    I also listen to Celtic Woman, so apparently there are 2 of us here at After Ellen that are listening... though don't ask me to try and pronounce any names accurately.

    adios amigas!!

    any planet fans out there? i shrieked when Michelle said "adios amigas" which is how kc of the planet always signs off!

    Michelle if you are still answering questions about the show i have a question about the sam/jennifer relationship, i get that they are "friends" now, but the fight they had...and the first episode where sam holds jennifer down on her bed and tells her to date...are we supposed to code this as friends who should be more and eventually will end up together or are we truly supposed to see them as "just friends"?

    kelkian on board!

    Speaking of Elka and KC they could so jump onto the AE vlog/blog/podcast wagon, that would be awesome!

    Michelle if you are still answering questions about the show i have a question about the sam/jennifer relationship, i get that they are "friends" now, but the fight they had...and the first episode where sam holds jennifer down on her bed and tells her to date...are we supposed to code this as friends who should be more and eventually will end up together

    I'm coding it that way in my head. /shipper

    Also, the Xena yell had me choking on my dinner.

    fiddy's picture

    Michelle, you're so

    Michelle, you're so adorable.

    Michelle, PLEASE have the girl that plays Sam next time. She's so hot, the hottest on the show.

    ^-^

    omg, you guys cracked me up by trying to pronounce Meav's name right! It's a gaelic name I guess, and from I've heard you pronounce it like "meave newhelkaha" or something like that... oh well, if it works for her, then it's fine!

    since you said you didn't know how she looks like, here's a picture... I really do think she looks a bit like Angela Featherstone, but that might just be me ;)














    anyways, lovely blogpost like always!
    I love Megan Cavanagh and you guys are really funny together!
    and really Michelle, you should keep the Xena-call as a regular, it rocks! :p

    I loved Megan Cavanagh

    I loved Megan Cavanagh in A League of Their Own and she's great in Exes and Oh's I really liked the realtionship with Kris and Chris in this last episode!!!  The more I watch this show the more I love it...thanks Michelle!!   Oh and does anybody know what the song is in episode three(Cutthroat) that plays at the very end when Emy walks in and sees that Crutch has put up the lights in the coffee shop???? I really liked that song!!  I think the lyrics were: 

    "your not the kind that's best for me but I believe that you've got that something,

    don't you know that your not like everybody else,

    can't you feel that you get me like no one else"

    Oh and I listen to Celtic Woman also so now there's Three of us!

    Great vlog!

    Yeah Michelle, you delivered us "out" lesbian actress.  Cool! I didn't know Megan is a lesbian.  when i saw her on Exes & ohs, I immeditaely thought of a League of Their Own, which I watched a gillizion times. I'm glad she's still getting gigs.  I'm jealous b/c I'm not on the cruise ship w/ Michelle.

     You ladies are sweet for answering our questions.  Kudos for you.

    Goodbye in Spanish is Adios!

    Enjoy Mexico1

    May be

    the Xena call can be the signatory feature of your vlog. You can do it at the beginning, at the end or randomly in the middle of a vlog : P I'm sure every one will be delighted by it.

    Thanks for having Megan this time. It was really fun.

    And these always start out very well with you : D

    Who wouldn't be excited to see Megan? She's freaking hilarious! She could be a permanent fixture! But I wouldn't oppose to Sam or Kris either... (Not to imply that Michelle isn't enough on her own!)

    Hola again! I'm officially over excited :)

    I just wanted to say THANKS for the greetings, I'm glad u are having a good time around here...u both are hilarious and u did a pretty good job with the spanish pronunciation ;) but yes, the exagerated C is used in Spain only...

    Michelle, I keep loving ur show more and more each episode, how do u come up with this ideas? I took a writing class and I had to write a couple of short films...but I mostly used family stories, do everything u write is just pure imagination?

    thanks again for the mention! hope u are having a good time in Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta (which is where my parents went on their honey moon), or wherever u are by now :)

    A new vlog...

    ...complete with a guestbian. Awesome! I love the cute rambling. It's so endearing.

    I ::heart:: Megan Cavanagh. I'm glad to see her back in front of the camera (after listening to her for a while (with my nephews) as Jimmy Neutron's mom on the cartoon)...she's such a talent.

    fiddy's picture

    Michelle, when will you know

    Michelle, when will you know if the show gets a second season?
    MParadiseisSoAwesome86's picture

    You are SO cute!

    I made an account just for you because you are so sweet and adorable and have gorgeous blue eyes. Which brings me to my first question. Are you single? Not like I have a shot but I was just wondering. Also, I love your show so much. I just got to see your movie short and it ws so great. Love the Rules. Have you ever thought of writting a book? I loved your written blog almost as much as your video blogs. You have a wonderful way of writing that makes me want to keep reading. Also I love the "rambling"-keep it coming. I ramble all the time-like I am doing right now.

    So I do have some questions for you:
    1. Do you film in front of an audience? Where is the show taped?
    2.I've been to Seattle, it is amazing. Would you ever do a show centered around the Space Needle? Maybe eating in the awesome rotating restaurant on the top?
    3.How many episodes are you going to have in a season?
    4. How many episodes have been taped so far?

    Love you! Keep up the awesomeness!

    Rachael

    P.S. Would you ever consider doing a contest where a fan can win the chance to meet you and maybe have lunch or go on the set?

    Yay for Canada shame I live in England

    Loved the Vlog you were both so funny.

    Sadly as I live in England the vlogs and recaps are all we have to keep up with.  On an exciting note I was in Canada last week and caught episode 3 on showcase. YAY :) Have to say I loved it!

    As much as I have tried I can't justify or afford to fly out every week to catch the episodes :(

    Any Idea if it will be made available on any English channels or on itunes UK, Amazon UK or even DVD?

    Thanks

    Sunny locations

    It's looking hot where you guys are unfortunately in the Uk its not so sunny nvm and you guys get so easily distracted - just like me especially with moving objects.

    Loving the Vlogs and the show's great, I've only caught the first ep, so waiting for when I can watch more.

    My question is when writing have there been times when an idea/ storyline can't be worked into the show.

    Bonjour from Paris-- Madame Paradise!!

    Bonjour Michelle!

    J'adore ta nouvelle serie 'Exe's and Oh's'!!! c'est tres drole et tres originale!!

    (i heard that you studied 'french' …and can speak it perfectly!@... so if you don't mind i'm going to ask my question in french AND i would be tres contente if you could answer me en francais on your vlog!@?) I heard you speak Spanish already…so I think French should be no problemo—right??

     

    1. Je pense qu il y aura une saison 2 parceque tu es tres 'chic' et tres 'populaire'... Serait il possible de tourner la prochaine saison a Paris et en francais !!?? (avec une grande ‘guestbian’ peut etre la fabuleuse Catherine Deneuve --qui comme tu le sais, n’a pas de probleme pour embrasser une autre femme!@) …

    pourquoi pas??

     

    2. if you had to choose…what do you prefer to eat…escargots…foie gras…ou les cuisses de grenouille??

     

    Merci pour your attention…bonne chance et bon courage pour le suite!!

    French+kisses xx ;-D

    hello...

    Michelle, 

    Loved this most recent episode (not that I didn't absolutely adore the others as well, but I got more of a window into the characters in this episode)! A couple of questions (one that echoes others who have commented)...

    Are we going to get a second season of Exes & Ohs? Do you know?...and if you don't, when would you?...can we help? Okay...maybe more than a couple - but they follow each other!

    So...I'm torn...since this episode, I'm not sure anymore...I was hopeful that there would be a Jen and Sam getting-back-togetherness possibility, but Jen and Lauren has tons of chemistry too. Any clues...or do we have to wait to see? Would there be more of Lauren's background?

    Thanks so much!!!

    p.s - Megan - lovely to see you on my telly again! :) And thank you for guestbianing with Michelle!

    Halle B's picture

    How many episodes of Exes & Ohs will be aired?

    I thought it was 6, but the Afterellen recapper mentioned No.7? More than 7?

    Great show, so I don't want to miss any!

    :-)

    merél's picture

    Michelle, would you marry me?

    Just kidding.

    (Or not. I guess you would like it here in Rio de Janeiro.)

    Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is the very first time that I feel I can truly relate to a lesbian series and a lesbian character. It's an awesome feeling. Did you ever feel this way towards a movie or a character? Which movie/series/character was it?

    Cheers from Brazil!

    belfastbelle's picture

    Kudos for trying

    I am from "Norn Iron" otherwise known as Northern Ireland and I have no idea how to pronounce that ladies name. Out of curiosity I looked her up after watching the vlog and thought "yeah, good luck with that". Nice "pog mo thon" reference, though it really is arse not ass. Way more oompf that way.

    WGA strike impact.

    How is the impending strike going to affect Exes and Ohs? How far have you finished shooting/how many scripts are written?
    Rituximab's picture

    Nerdy Question for Michelle...

    I just watched 10 Rules and note in that Jennifer's last name is Baker, but in the X's & O's publicity articles she is Jennifer Butler?  Do I need my hearing/eyesight checked?
    googlyey63's picture

    You just get funnier

    Thanks for another great vblog. My face hurts from smiling! When do we know if the show gets picked up. I will be shocked and heartbroken if it doesn't, I just love it. My only complaint is that I wish it was an hour long!
    snookapoo's picture

    Question

    How many episodes will there be in this first season?  I heard 6 and then somewhere else I heard 12.  I hope you get another season, it would suck to not keep giving this show a chance.

    DVR DRAMA

    My less than par dvr messed up episode 4.... and I missed it. thank goodness for Dara's recaps!But I was actaully sort of happy to see a repeat last night. I got to gave at the charming and sultry voiced Cathy DeBuono again.... ~swooon~

     

    berrylynn67's picture

    Repeat

    Very disappointed this week's show was a repeat
    How many new episodes are there?
    anastasiabeaverhousen's picture

    Choices?

    Sam is lovely, but I really don't think that her father's behavior warranted such a strong reaction.  I do understand her wanting his full understanding about her sexuality, but that he came off as a nice man doing the best he could.... not so bad..... Was this an acting choice on his part? Do you see what I mean?
    lisak's picture

    repeat

    My disapointment at not getting to see a new episode was tempered only by getting to see Cathy DeBuono again. Will the show be affected by the strike?
    s420's picture

    you're great

    love the show, vlogs and the part about "the right time"

    when it comes time to talk to your parents about it, there's no right time.
    it's just that the sooner hurts less than later
