I'm 97% sure I don't know how to say Zooey Deschanel's name correctly.

I thought it was kind of weird that, aside from one awkward glance at the camera from Jim, there was no mention of the fact that Cathy (is that her name?) tried to sleep with him in the last episode. I don't know if they're completely ditching that story and I realize it's only been one episode, but it seemed like…
@avclub-d2f01f5c14bc33830dc0cca54563f8f0:disqus I'll make a combo response to your "Pam is awful" comment and your comment about the office treating Andy with less respect than Michael:
I had to catch up on a lot of DVR'd stuff from last week, but I had to check this review just to see if the chicken dance reference was mentioned. I rewound it, too, and there's definitely a "look" on his face as he does it. Either he was about to break or he was ad-libbing it just to mess with people.
@avclub-9d512e28838bd0483c473d80a285d4e8:disqus - The whole CDC/TS-19 thing occurred to me when watching this episode. I think AMC did a marathon recently because I noticed my DVR magically had all the Season 1 episodes on it one day. For funsies, I rewatched the S1 finale and realized there hasn't been one, "What's…
I had the same thought and wondered if I was making the connection based on accent alone, but then I realized that she was similar in other ways. She definitely projected herself as being way smarter than she is, she was slightly offensive, and she was borderline combative in the way she addressed everyone and talked…
Good call. The show really needs somebody like Wallace or Minor again, or even Kathy Bates' character. At this point, they're relying way too much on, "Hey, look at this goofy character and all his/her quirks! Isn't he/she hilarious?"
Speaking of Costanzas yelling, I always really enjoyed George getting frustrated and just yelling at a customer, "You wanna buy a computer? Why not?"
I had the exact same reaction to Brad. Usually anything he does makes me crack up, but this week I was just annoyed with him and wanted him to stop talking.
Yep, the reveal of Luke thinking Lily is a "mess of a human being" was the highlight for me.
I got a pretty hearty laugh out of Hauser plugging the guy and then just leaving at the end. I pictured the scene playing out with the guy writhing on the ground while Cop & Doc stare at each other incredulously while Hauser does the awkward hands-on-the-lower-back-while-sticking-out-his-belly stretch and says,…
I'd have to agree. It may be getting played out, as @avclub-2f2b265625d76a6704b08093c652fd79:disqus mentioned, but it still gets me every time. As long as it doesn't start appearing in every scene (and I'd imagine there's some network rule about that), I'm on board with it.
I think the chemistry has a lot to do with it. Christina Applegate and Will Arnett are very believable as a couple who are completely at ease and comfortable with each other.
"Pretty charming" or some similar version of that seems to be a common and accurate way of describing this show. It's just…nice. It's not a show I await with great anticipation each week, but I usually find myself thinking, "Oh, good, Up All Night's on tonight."
Line of the night for me. It was one of those "hahahahahaohgodishouldnotbelaughingatadeadguy" moments.
Loved him drooling (never thought I'd type that), but I thought they could have just cut it there without him cracking up and falling over. A minor complaint, but punctuating the scene with him just gazing at a kid and drooling would have been awesome.
That line won my, "I can't believe they said that on ABC" contest of the week.
As a child of the 80's whose first live music experience was Poison (when I was in second grade), I loved the C.C. DeVille reference way more than I should have. I enjoyed the episode enough; this is still a perfect on-in-the-background-and-makes-me-chuckle-a-few-times-per-episode show.
And this, and, uh?
I'm digging the warden quite a bit. I could use a few more episodes like this one that make the back story a little clearer but, still, it's only been a few episodes. I'll be patient.
