Instead of telling him she was seeing someone else, why not have her excuse herself, go to the restroom, and then escape through the window. Isn't that how she is supposed to react under stress? Just more evidence that the show isn't even paying attention to its characters at this point, and that this episode was a…

The episode's Raj/Lucy subplot made no sense and felt like it was written in about five minutes. But then nothing about the episode made any sense.

THANK YOU for saying this!! This was a terrible episode. Absolutely ghastly. Not only was it not funny, but it committed a cardinal sin. Every single scene was utterly implausible, not real-life implausible, of course, but implausible for the motivations of the characters.

Hardwick is okay - I listen to his podcast sometimes - but Oliver could have been a longtime and very valuable asset for Comedy Central. Agree they couldn't easily have nixed Hardwick, but not keeping Oliver still seems like a corporate failure.

Agreed, the first season was a lot of fun. Now the show is very much just going through the motions, and kind of annoying. But there have been enough terrific episodes for the show to merit at least some of its acclaim.

"Earns" or weighs?"

That's really what should have happened, if Comedy Central had any sense at all. Which begs the question, why didn't it materialize and why did Comedy Central drop the ball? It's kind of a massive fail on their part, in my opinion.

Yeah, I wrote on another site, "This news makes me both happy and sad." Still, it bothers me that Comedy Central didn't try more aggressively to keep Oliver (although obviously I have zero idea of whatever negotiations they had with him) - give him his own Colbert-like show, etc. What gives, Comedy Central? Was it…

I just watched that Conan interview on Youtube. You are totally right about Jackson Nicoll's tendencies, but the interview is fascinating for other reasons as well. I don't think I've ever seen Conan actively loathe a guest to such a degree - never mind that the guest in question is a 9-year-old kid! There was a heavy…

That's so true. I have tried to get at least five of my friends hooked on TGW, and only one now watches it semi-regularly. Very frustrating. I think the show's title turns off some people (it just sounds so soap-y and conservative), and people who have only ever watched a few scenes tend to write it off as, "Just…

Not only that, but here is something else to ponder: Owen is so weirdly invested in Alicia's love life that he journeys all the way over to Alicia's former workplace to have an inappropriate (and implausible) conversation with her former boss. And yet when Grace says hello to him at the apartment, he shows zero…

Well said! The show feels like it was written by someone's grandparent, who has just found out about "the Facebook" (Or should that be, "the Chumhum").

Does CBS impose a mandatory tech-plot-of-the-week on this show? Dial down the cyber subplots, Good Wife!

Totally agree. And the last few episodes of BB were absurdly overhyped.

My problem with Gina is that, it feels like she's a character from a whole different show, who is kind of gatecrashing (and oddly obstructing) B99 whenever she is on screen. I have nothing against either the character or the actress - in fact I quite like her, just not on this show. It just doesn't really fit.

Best comment on here. Kudos to you, sex pwnther.

Yes. It's definitely not terrible, despite what people here are saying. It is just far, far from great (or even especially good). That said it is amusing and low-key, and a good show to have on as background noise when you wash the dishes or read your email or whatever. They deliberately wrote the show to be very…

The photo on the top of the page looks less like a photo from the show than like some undiscovered Edward Hopper painting.

I really like Nate Corddry and am glad he has a steady job. Hope they don't write him out of the show. Just find a better way to incorporate him into the narrative.

I know what you mean. My late grandmother used to love watching "Monk." To this day, I can't even watch reruns of that show without thinking about her in the late-stages of her life and getting a little depressed.
