He must have just spilt some Kahlua.

"Are the scissors broken in your house, son?"

That had to have been the best "pot shot at the future" joke all season. The Hitch stuff is good, too, if only because it's so perfectly character specific to Tom.

Maybe this will sound depressing and dark, but I really thought April's incessant whining about her employment would lead to her getting fired or quitting. Meanwhile, Andy would hold out on his contract and lose his gig on the same day.

Somebody really liked Alias.

He's a backstreet guy in love with an Uptown Girl.

I declare this a mistrial, because that is something they say on television. Tap, tap, tap. Case over."

The best part of this whole hour of television was, bar none, the moment when Perd responds to Leslie's mealymouthed, noncommittal, rambling jargon with "Well said!"

DISCLAIMER: This opinion may come off as more negative than it is. Don't get me wrong; P&R is still one of the few shows I go out of my way to watch weekly. It's genuinely funny.

"Andy! Put that down!"

Although, perhaps somebody with more musical knowledge could explain why Blake Shelton's performances required no fewer than SIX guitars?

I counted maybe 2 or 3 jokes that entire segment that so much as made me smile.

I had the same thought. Surely, he could have crushed that role, no? Thompson brought nothing to it. In a rare spectacle, the writing was that sketch's strength, not the delivery.

Somebody here coined the term "impression roulette" for the type of sketch Family Feud was. Hey, I don't mind a solid impression sketch, but for the love of all that is holy, NAIL THE IMPRESSIONS.

I enjoyed a lot of this episode more than I had any right to. Let's start with a B+ baseline for Blake Shelton (including his musical numbers, which I am shamed to admit actually hooked me) and go from there.

If we know what's going on right off the bat, where's the intrigue? What reason does this plot diversion have for existing?

It seemed like the cop to orderly ratio was way out of whack. Either there aren't enough workers to keep this place running, or there weren't actually that many cops.

Was I the only one confused about the door situation in this hospital?

He barely looked at the camera during the Drunk Uncle segment. It was off-putting and irritating. The extent of his acting ability seems to be "turn your head away from the audience with mouth incredulously agape."

I totally thought the gag with the new neighbours was going to be a classic character reversal - the classy ones would turn out to be terrible to live beside, and the white trash would turn out to be better. The creep out angle was well done.
