At the beginning of the episode I thought it was going to go the other direction — actually send Peter and Elizabeth away and devote the episode solely to Neal, Moz, and Sara.

I would like to re-classify this as a Sachmo episode, since he was clearly the driving crux of the plot in this episode.

Relationships were definitely the focus of the episode this week, even if the Sara return came out of seemingly no where — maybe it's because of the long break in the real world since her last appearance last summer.

This show has some of the best on-location filming in New York that I've ever seen, particularly their interiors.

Considering that most modern sitcoms have 2 or 3 kinds of episodes that they rehash over and over, Raising Hope should be a refreshing surprise…

I didn't catch that somehow.  Nice work!

We're already at episode 18 of their 24 episode season, so I don't think the season will still be going by the time Arbor Day rolls around.

A great episode.  Seems a bit out of place since Arbor Day is actually in April (though Fox is burning off Raising Hope episodes fast this season), but that oddly contributes positively to the overall absurdity of the episode.

Please don't get hired by ABCFamily.

Lucas Grabeel is following the same path.

… and Lucas Grabeel looked great without his shirt on.

Wait, that was her daughter?  How weird!

Noah's quite the player — that was some obvious flirting with Daphne so soon after kissing Bay.  Switched-at-birth quasi-sister showdown!

So in two weeks we get the all sign language episode!

Toby's pretty aggressive after getting shut down by the Christian rock girl.  He could use that WWJD bracelet she gave him…

Agreed on the weather — it's got to be winter by now.  And winter in Kansas City looks nothing like that…

The great part was that Darrin started the dancing, not Sue.

Yep, they went to prom together last season.

Raj was drinking at the party, right?  What's going to happen when he gets to the coffee shop with his date and has no more alcohol to drink?  Or does the effect last until after the hangover?

Does Raj's "single people are a community" speech cancel out the nerd-mocking comic book episode from a few weeks back?
