Here we go folks! Season 8 is coming at ya!

We’re having a great time making these episodes . . . I know Mark has said this is feeling like the last season to him, unless the network wants more, so we’re keeping that in mind and working our butts off. James just directed an episode; Sophia’s directing now. This is truly a family effort and I think you guys will feel that when you watch.

Like you, I’m waiting to see how everything will finish up if this is the end. Many things are already coming full circle – I’m back to playing a more fun kind of “Mouth,” for the most part, and I’m really happy about that. So far the episodes are more about the smaller moments and how the characters are growing in the face of change. I really like this approach because I think it’s what originally made our show so great. Don't get me wrong... there are definitely fun, outrageous things coming, but at the core it seems to be about the personal relationships between these characters. I think that honors what the show set out to do, and I think it’s what separates us from other shows in our genre. I hope you agree and I hope you’ll soak in each episode the way I’m trying to do. If this is the beginning of the end, we’re off to a great start and I’m so happy that you guys are along for the ride.

Hi there! I'm a M&M fan too. By the way, Lisa is as beautiful as ever and we just shot a scene together today. I think that's all I'll say about that, haha, other than the fact that it's the Halloween episode, so we're having a blast with all the costumes... seriously, you guys will be laughing out loud at some of these!

Lee Norris · « **Reply #4 on:** September 13, 2010 at 02:04 PM »

Hi Ashley, thanks so much! It's always a lot of fun to meet you guys... sometimes we're in the middle of filming and crazed, but you guys are always awesome and make it worth all the craziness!

yay im voting for mouth and millie, although I did like him and Lauren too! I'm soo excited for the halloween episode, can't wait to see how everyone is going to dress up! Any chance of getting a holiday episode this year? I'v always wanted one, but I do understand why the writers may sway away from it because it can be controversial.

and thanks for replying to my other post! we appreciate all of your hard work!

Lee Norris · « **Reply #6 on:** September 13, 2010 at 02:18 PM »

You know, I don't know if there will be... the writers are pretty secretive about everything until the scripts are actually delivered to us. I think it would be a lot of fun to do one. We have all been joking about doing a singing themed episode. The girls are pushing that more than us guys are, haha!

othlove224 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 13, 2010 at 02:19 PM »

that would be so awesome if they did, but I get why they have yet to do it!

haha a glee type episode? thats hilarious

Lee Norris · « **Reply #8 on:** September 13, 2010 at 02:32 PM »

I was totally an a cappella member in college. I think with Joy and all our other musical colleagues, we would rock that! I will say, Austin and I were in a karaoke-cab when we shot in Utah last season and it didn't sound too pretty. Some things are better left behind the cameras I guess.

I'm gonna head out for now guys! Take care!

I am on everyday, basically haha and I, of course, miss you today... Figures! Anywho, thanks for keeping us up to date Lee! Can't wait to see what's in store for Mouth this season! I told Sean to give Mark crap for not having Mouth in every episode! hope he delivered my message

I just wanna see all that I can of Mouth and hopefully see him and Millicent rekindle their relationship!

Thanks for everything Lee! You're awesome! Season 8 premiere TOMORROW finally! Can't wait!

Lee, don't shy away from how great of a singer you are! I remember you talking about a musical themed episode ... and I think it would be quite impressive!!!

Thanks for stopping by, Lee! SO excited for the season to start tomorrow! And even more excited to see Mouth be his fun self again!

Thank you, and the rest of the cast for all your hard work! It is very much appreciated!

kayleighOTHfan23 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2010 at 05:47 PM »

Aaah, reading this post has made me EVEN MORE excited for Season 8! Didn't think that was possible!

And I second Megan's whole post.

And I am also toootally rooting for Mouth & Millie! Eeep.

Ahhh, yay for stopping by Lee, i thought he had given up on here.

So excited for season 8, i have a feeling it's going to be a good one!!

Sara · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2010 at 07:10 PM »

Aw yay! This really gets me excited and anxious for what's to come in season 8. I'm super glad to hear that a lot of those core relationships and original appeal of the show is hopefully being brought back more than ever. I think with this feeling like it's going to be the last season to most of us that's a really great effort to make.

Anyway thanks for stopping by! It's awesome to hear from you and of course thank you to all the cast and crew of OTH that work hard to bring it to life for us.

Excited to hear this approach. It's what lured me into hiding in a cave and watching 5 seasons in a week lol. The characters and relationships are so great on this show that I feel it doesn't need a strong plot all the time.

I'm excited for tomorrow night and for some happy "Mouth" (that's what she said?)!

I have to be honest and go against the majority and say I stopped supporting M&M last season, but I'd love for the characters to find love in other places. Not every relationship is destined forever, and I'd love a story of two people adjusting to moving on from each other, but still caring for that person in the only way you can care for someone you once loved so much.

Thanks for visiting us Lee!

Steph have I taught you nothing?

Mouth needs to be back with Millicent! there's not enough time to strike up a brand spankin' new relationship AND Mouth and Millicent are A-dorable!

Okay. As an avid OTH fan since the pilot episode which in some respects seems oh so long ago and in some respects seems like yesterday.. reading your opening post more than brought tears to my eyes. I'm full on crying right now. But in a good.. and I guess semi-sad way.

You have now pumped me up one hundred ten percent more than I already was for this (what I just KNOW) will be a beyond phenomenal and more than likely bittersweet final season, and I literally thought that was impossible. haha!

Thank you as well as the rest of the OTH cast, crew & writers for all of these years, hours, episodes trips of well spent money to Wilmi, music, life lessons and more than anything.. for all of the memories these things brought to my life.

I will ALWAYS be indebted for what your show and all of its parts have done for my life and I can never truly thank you all enough.

Can not WAIT for the beginning (even if it's of the end) tomorrow night.

LOVE YOU LEE!!

(P.S. - Happy early birthday as well! You have NO idea what it means to us fans that you take the time to stop by here post, talk to, connect & think of us with your busy schedule. You truly never will!)
