Gonna miss ol' Philip Baker Hall. Wished the party plot would have been cut and pasted into a different episode, where we could have had more than two scenes and a tag. Otherwise, still funny. Used to be a big-time hater on this show (inasmuch as I still find it frequently hilarious) but now I find myself regularly

Another fairly solid episode, despite the presence of the insufferable Garth & Kat. Loved the first minute of "The Californians," with no one being able to keep it together. Then of course it dragged out too long. Dead-on "Game of Thrones" parody and—holy cow—a "Lazer Cats" skit I actually laughed at.

One of the most brilliant half-hours the show has ever produced. While revealing the inherent silliness of following a set of rules that so many equate with religion, it also shows that religious folks, when actually following the ideals of their religion and not attacking others who don't share their beliefs, can be

Other than the news team skit (which was already done a few weeks ago with the NFL Sunday team), this was surprisingly funny. Drunk Uncle and Zooey Deschanel always work.

A really promising pilot. Basically does what 2 Broke Girls and/or New Girl wanted to do, but better, quicker, funnier and edgier ( < non-sarcastic use).

The only thing keeping this from an A is Brian Austin Green actually showing up at the wedding. Too predictable for this show.

This gets bumped up to a B+ strictly for the "Fran Sinclair, the mom dinosaur from the TV show Dinosaurs" sex dream joke.

One of the many reasons I love Raising Hope is that no other sitcom would tackle the topic of spanking without it becoming a "very special episode."

Yeah, it was ridiculous, but this was one of the flat-out funniest episodes of the season. Right up there with The Book Job for laughs per minute.

That makes a lot more sense. And yes, the drinking exchange was beautiful.

The Ben being afraid of cops thing kept this from getting an A. It feels like a random character tic pulled from a lesser sitcom. Now Andy being afraid of cops? That would make sense. 

This would have been an A were it not for that god-awful crab legs sketch. That's the worst thing I've seen from this show since that Bryan Cranston sang "I left a jar of sparkling apple juice by your door." And while Karmin might not have been my cup of tea, they actually had some spectacle and energy, especially

Some sketches of course didn't work (why God why do they keep bringing back the Secret Word sketch?) but I think this was hardly the worst of the season, especially since Tatum was so into selling EVERY SINGLE SKETCH. But something was definitely off, judging by that Cee-Lo sketch, because if Bill Hader is the weakest

I seriously read the headline as "Lizzy Caplan and MARTIN Sheen are now Masters Of Sex." Boy, was I pleasantly surprised/less horrified.

The Romney cold open reminds me A LOT of a series of skits MadTV used to do in the '90s with Pat Kilbane as Smith Comma John, an alien running for president, trying to convince voters that he is a human. Hmm…

Can anyone else barely understand a word Nathan is saying?

Phil's iPad safely crashed on the concrete besides the pool. Still, this is the first episode of I've actively disliked since "Dance Dance Revelation."

Was this as funny as a lot of episodes of Sunny? No, but I loved that they went in a completely different direction and focused on a single narrative, instead of just going straight for a series of gross-out gags. Plus, Jon Polito!

This doesn't seem like something they'd normally do, but I think Roxy will come back later on. Frank said she had no pulse and they had a quasi-funeral, but there's no definitive proof she's dead. I'd like to see her come back as even crazier Roxy and try to kill some or all of the gang.

Confused
I thought for sure this book was going to be about Lisa Nowak who drove a couple hundred miles wearing a diaper to shoot the lady who was in love with her man who also worked at NASA. Didn't realize NASA had such lurid employees.
