The Middle also did a parade episode last November, in which a cow float caught fire. I couldn't help thinking about that as I watched this episode.

That could have made this an A episode.

Agreed! A great way to fit in Brad's overly dramatic theatricality without making it a joke about his (closet) gay-ness.

CLUE: The Middle Edition

In fairness, though, they did end the episode with Brick and Mike peacefully sitting together outside reading (and bonding over Frankie and Axl's idiocy).

Alex Trebek is a sly little devil…

I also loved the episode if only for its dedication to pursuing an area of U.S. history that is often overlooked or purposefully ignored.

Let's imagine what kind of blackmail PDN has on Todd…

I would read Carrie's reviews on just about anything.

I want John and Kathryn together, but I agree that this is probably not the end of the issues that let to the separation.

Sounds like an excellent idea for a webseries!

Something we at first think is right, but is not?

It doesn't help that Ty shows 0 emotion in every scene he is in.

I think it was Gia.

Maybe we can reach some sort of arrangement where viewers from another show are relocated to these reviews, a la the public school students forced to attend Carlton.

Lucas Grabeel showed some pretty sweet moves in his dance scene…

Can we talk about how hot Lucas Grabeel was as he danced in his boxers? Even the cameraman seemed to think so, panning up and down Toby's body.

I loved that Angelo and Melody were both portrayed as excellent dancers (and got to dance together, no matter how contrived that was) since both Gilles Marini and Marlee Matlin were on Dancing with the Stars.

Great episode. The best part was definitely the Travis and Mary Beth storyline, as the show continues to explore the deaf experience in ways no other popular culture experience has.

Yeah, the theory that Barney is dead in the future has been around for awhile, since he never seems to get spoken of by Future Ted in the present tense.
