Totally agree. That was really disappointing.

To be honest, man, it could just be that in an otherwise struggling season, this episode (which is definitely a call back to better SP days) made me nostalgic. It's hard to tell anymore.

But that's my point. When they don't have to do a quick turnaround, an episode like this one happens and the entire season gets a little better.

yep. it was pretty overt

I know the SP quick turnaround is a subject that has been beaten to death, but it's encouraging to see what Trey and Matt can put forth when they allow themselves some time in creating an episode. I wish they would take that tact more often. Of course, I'm making the assumption that the multi-part eps. are done…

All this grenade talk makes me miss Lem.

Laughed out loud at the funk sketch, for Key's hair alone. And come on…Tom Hanks's penis got a shout out. A-

Good point. I think it's just a combination of impatience on my part and a hope that the show will be given the time it deserves to develop.

Do you know what the word "provincial" means? I didn't think so.

Yeah, it wasn't great. But I appreciated the homage to "Three O'Clock High." Thanks, 1987.

Precisely the moment, huh? I figure the douchebag moment comes when you don't allow people their own opinions and then get overly-defensive when their thoughts don't exactly line up with yours. You're suspect.

I definitely had that sad moment during this episode where I felt like jumping ship for good. This season as a whole has been depressingly bad.

To each their own, but yeah, i have to agree — i thought this episode was weak.

B+ is generous. Kind of a come down episode after the stellar Halloween sketches. The first two tonight were pretty weak. Or maybe I was just in a rancid mood after that god awful South Park.

"Garcon, one admission for the continental breakfast."

Continental breakfast sketch was perfection.
