I stopped watching this show for over a month because I just wasn't interested anymore, but a few hours ago I started watching it again. This episode is easily my favorite one ever. Both of the stories were hilarious. Now I'm midway through the episode following this one and I'm bored again, but I've regained my faith…

Such a cleverly structured episode! I was on pins and needles the whole time, dying to get to know what actually happened and to whom it all happened.

He came in second in Dancing with the Stars, dang it, show the man some respect.

Like I said, people are really making me feel embarrassed about how little time I've actually spent on Hugh Grant's IMDB page. Live and learn…

It was a long time ago when I saw those episodes (and as for Mad Men, it wasn't even the pilot), and I'll admit it, I'm mostly basing my judgement on those shows on a bunch of gifs I've seen on Tumblr. My argument is really weak here, I get it, but I just have a bad impression on both of those shows. Thematically…

Your assumption is correct. Weird how they were able to make even their interactions genuine and heartfelt (not that I could notice that at the time).

And I respect you for that. That ability to close your eyes from irrefutable crap and only focus on the good is what will surely get you far in life.

It was hilarious when he was questioned by Shado about the nature of her relationship with Sara while he was holding a picture of Laurel. A perfect example of how the show acknowledges some of the ridiculous scenarios that the characters end up in (or, make them end up in)!

What I love about this show is that it keeps proving me wrong and defying my expectations.

Loved what all three of you said about the introduction of Barry, so true! The shots in the rain looked wonderful and the score made it even better. This show is delivering on all fronts, whether it's the cinematography, music, acting, or writing.

Whole-heartedly agree about everything.

"In the United States, homely usually suggests absence of natural beauty. In England, the word suggests a wholesome simplicity without artificial refinement or elegance."

Whoa. Google Images provided some pretty interesting screencaps.

(In reference to some of the comments on whether I should start watching Mad Men and Breaking Bad posted earlier on this thread…)

They sure were.

You know what, you're absolutely right. I was focusing too much on the post-Bridget Jones era. He wasn't exactly the same type in Sense and Sensibility and Four Weddings and a Funeral (which I have seen, despite my earlier comment).

Darn it, now I feel like I owe the whole society something until I finally watch them. It's a special time of life we live in when you feel like people won't take you seriously as a person unless you've watched a certain show.

I'm probably asking for ridicule and contempt by everyone on AV Club when I say this, but I have never seen more than one episode of Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Mostly it's because I don't like watching shows that are too bleak and hopeless and have characters that aren't likeable and/or fascinating.

I have never seen Hugh Grant in a movie where he doesn't play exactly the same character all over again, but at the same time, I would never want to see him play anything else. Man (with awesome English accent and blue puppy eyes) you're amazing, just the way you aaaaaaare.

I have watched that movie so many times on VHS, and it's still as entertaining as ever. I might actually have to invest in a DVD version of it. Funny and heartwarming all around.
