Ow. That hurts.

Barry kind of rubs me the wrong way, I'll agree. But this episode isn't one of my least favorites. (That title goes to "Carded and Discarded".) I like the way Neal channels his emotions through Morty, since the humor surrounding the situation makes it all the more disparate. And when he breaks down at the end of the…

I find it a little odd that they're watching an episode with Kate Jackson in it, seeing as she left the show in 1979.

"Because he loves Bill's mother." That's exactly right. But Fredricks doesn't care much for Bill himself. In "The Diary", he constantly puts down Bill as a means of making himself look superior.

I know the feeling. Although personally, my life is more like Lindsay's.

Ha! You just made me spit Diet Pepsi all over my Hewlett-Packard laptop. Fortunately, I can just wipe it off with some Kleenex!

I like this episode. The comedy is top-notch, and it's got some of the show's most quotable lines. But it's actually my least favorite episode in the series. I explained my reasons here:
