Hey Camp Nowhere is always a big deal, despite having the Keeg in it.

I got to have that exact same experience, and it was wonderful. College crowd, before hitting the bar, half of them probably stoned. I don't think I've ever heard an audience laugh so hard.

I think seasons 3-7 are probably the golden age, with season 5 being my personal favorite. But it's hard to determine just one golden age for the show. As much as I've become kind of blase about it, it's hard to beat a show that uses songs like "Me & Cthulu"

Season 2 is the first time I remember it. But, oh those glances after each touch. Crack me up every time.

What would be the opposite of gratuitous? Awesomeness-ous?

I've always thought Chase was kind of a douche, but let's face it: he's Chevy Chase. He says things others won't. That has value.

I would absolutely subscribe to Britta Unfiltered. 
Also, I don't believe I've ever been more saddened by the natural crumbling of a friendship.

"That's me! But where did I get all that money?" Jim Rash is both a delight at weddings and on this show.

I wish this show could be as good as the comics.
