Not only are the people they pitch to stupid, in pretty much every company they key to a successful pitch is to find out who's fucking who, if you can't find that then show some initiative and get in there yourself and make it happen.

Its certainly way below Cheadle and Bell but despite all the failings they are both great in it. I like Jean Raplhio but this seems about right for him at this stage of his career.

How does her former profession stop her from expecting fidelity? Something they already dealt with in the a previous episode when IIRC he won bum sex for not cheating.

When he says don't talk to my son again or whatever that line was it was excessively mean. He's just cheated on her and he's being a complete asshole now. Of course its mean.

Have to say I thought this was the best episode to date for character stuff, not the most enjoyable so far but the episode that gave me hope for the show. Finally some of Marty and Jeannies amoral chickens are coming home to roost. I'm glad the show has made them face the consequences of their endless fucking everyone

Its way better than Boardwalk Empire. Now theres a show that needs a few Zombie attacks.

Jokes about "random" have become so common and hackneyed in British comedy I guess rather than find new material Tate just figured she'd find a new audience.

And this is a show that at its height showed us just how loyal these people were to Michael and each other. Now they're willing to see Andy unemployed for the promise of a raise from someone who has no remit to give out raises. It undercuts the intelligence of everyone in the office.

She made a speech about how she was Tinkerbell in front of the whole office all while flailing around like a drunken mime.

It was only when I realised how mundane the episode had been I thought something crazy is going to happen to someone. Then Lydia gets attacked and its revealed she's bleeding I thought "there we go, I was right" then I was shaken out of my smugness by the attack from Ronnie which I wasn't expecting at all.

The show has gone way too Schmidt heavy and its made it very broad and hokey.

Todd felt like the final scene with Ace looking through his camera at the horse was hopeful. For me the whole thing felt even more doomed that the scenes before. I am sure Mike is going to kill that horse.

So did Ace sent him in there to die or not? Thinking back to some of the smirks on his face in the early episodes I'm starting to wonder. Plus he's been a bit too nice for a shady criminal type thats hell bent on revenge. The first signs of his darker side maybe?

Americans, amirite guys!

At least Kevin Smith had the decency to actually go do his own thing instead of desperately trying to worm his way into Hollywoods inner circle all the while mocking it as he worms just in case he doesn't actually make it to the centre.

Lifes Too Short isn't funny enough though. Yes the Neeson bit was hilarious but that was 3 episode ago. The Carrell stuff wasn't funny, the Warwick as Brent stuff is never funny, Gervais and Merchant aren't funny it.

But she's not possessed, they said if a ghost hands around too long it starts to lose its mind.

I didn't see it coming either and I thought it was an ok twist too. There's no holes in the logic of the whole thing that I can see anyway. And I like the whole idea that being left as a ghost for too long turns you crazy, it explains all the ghostly horror movies. Its a nice idea for Sallys character and its good for

I don't know how this gets a D. You don't have to like it but the things you are criticising are there every week when the show gets better grades.

Hicks loved audience approval, king of applause comedy. Stanhope is far more confrontational, he doesn't want the applause, he wants the audience to be shocked and challenged.
