The first season had me interested, the benefit was seeming to have some UK take on the Hollywood storyline, and Leblanc's ability to be the one from Friends who most convincingly figures out what to do with his post-Friends career. It's a great character role and he does it well. Would have loved to see it end with a

Makes more sense than just a reference to dropping a coin into the anatomically-named "one-armed bandit" then.

And permanently wearing the Rabbit Ears of Life in Hell as homage I guess.

Nicely put, like "hollow dreams and inevitable failure" , which probably will be replaced by a more mature set of goals. I get early on seeing her as the light for everyone (as Amy would later profess in the beginning of their friendship.) But the episode felt more breakdown than breakthrough so far. I like the idea

In a way, "what little there was available to her" is precisely what Leonard objects to being categorized as in this episode. He adores and loves her, has a great job, he always tries to do something for her, she loves him apparently, and he could care less to force her to do anything other than what she feels.

The pertinent part is: "Almost immediately they are approached by a beautiful young woman, played by Lexie (Contursi), who asks them for directions to a coffee shop. Sadly, or hopefully, comically, they run from her because they've yet to do the grunt work of talking to regular-looking folks. (…) We had to cut it in

Oh right, now I'm thinking of how Amy said Sheldon's Valentines gift was she would watch with him his beloved "Star Trek Wars" or something like that.

I just feel it is a difference in the basic idea as they started 4 guys 1 girl, and slowly over seasons brought in the equal women partnership. It's quite boys club for a while.
When the baby comes for any of these pairs, I'm not going to watch further.

But yet he was listed in the acting credits.

I do like the idea of Sheldon going for the dropping trou, because it connected to Amy's suppressed urges, but it pays off on the level of how comical the idea of sex between them still seems.

I don't think these episode's Jeff Winger matches up with his character who spoke at the graduation ceremony, who had some insight and growth. Considering all he's managed and said and done in the years before, he just wouldn't, for example, do a naive super-hero commercial, and not with Abed, and he wouldn't just

64… wow. Well who would have guessed from that group photo of fine young, wrinkle-free faces.

I liked Raj this episode, because it was more true to who he has developed to and more potential. Raj served as a "Dr.Phil"-like talk show host (only good) and that provided a chance for each couple outside of Penny and Leonard to have their narrative exposition declared: Howard and Bernadette are married and nagging

I don't particularly like Leonard (and when the writers gave him unbelievable scenarios, especially the period when he was supposed to be bedding Raj's hot sister) but I didn't get that vibe here at all. The fact is, we see him so frustrated about what he thought was a good act. Penny was useless this episode and

Not the best advisors , at least in hindsight.

Yes, Richards would have to do a cold start into it. But he could have come in guest-starring as his Belzer's quirky brother, just transferred in from another precinct, the exact opposite of Belzer's "cool" character.

As much as I adore the Kramer character, at this point Richards would have been better off going the contrast route, like Belzer joining Law & Order. He could have played the comical - yet troubled - desk-bound detective (ensuring some minimum of physical shtick and short but memorable entrances into discussions) for

I thought Leachman is here playing the grandmother? +9 alone.

And it feels like Conan is related somehow!

Such a good episode and FOX is letting this series go to TBS no less. So many perfect points mentioned, but I liked how what could have been a throwaway prop - completing the Lego figures of Ron Howard ("America's favorite mainstream director" and TV son) - starts off in a plot leading to the Lego convention, then
