Think back to when you first heard about the episodes, or first saw just their titles. Omit the promotion (which Fox actually did for MITM during American Idol for once!) and omit spoilers you might have read.
Hearing just the title of the episode, what would you have thought it was going to be about?
For example, Living Will. Hearing just the title, it would have sounded to me like some old rich woman moves into town, but she keeps all her money to herself. Everyone tries to befriend her, including Hal and Lois. Lois fails miserably, but Hal suceeds. One day, she asks him to help her write her will. Hal says he will, and the old lady was done in five minutes. She wanted everything to go to Hal, but she wanted to keep it all in a trust fund until Hal divorced Lois. (Can't you just see the ep ending right there, leaving us to make up our own Hal reactions?)
I thought about If Boys Were Girls, as well, and while it's one of my favorite ep's now, it sounded stupid when I just read the title, and in some cases, even summaries and spoilers. It sounded like the boys wouldn't star at all, and the girls were going to do some weird girly thing. It sounded ridiculously feminine.
So what are some eps you guys have expected something completely different from than what it actually turned out to be, based on the name of an ep?
