Seasons 2, 3, and 5 are the best (in that order). Next-tier would be 1, 4, and 7 (these are a little uneven but have plenty of classics). 6 and 8 are way in the back…couple good episode but pretty forgettable overall. So yeah, it does seem the odd numbered seasons have a slightly better track record. This season is…

AD only has one episode with a time-machine. There is also an Xmas ep where Stan goes back in time, but that's an "It's A Wonderful Life" type situation where he's taken back by an angel. Family Guy has like 10-plus time travel based episodes, so yeah, definitely tired there. But at least with AD and sci-fi things…

Another joke that was funny once or twice, but lost it's comedic value when it went on for a minute. For a show that ripped on Family Guy as hard as they did, that shit is straight out their playbook.

Yeah this was utterly terrible. More jokes stretched out beyond any semblance of being funny (nipple rubbing was hardly funny the first time, let alone the next two), the combining of two plots in an extremely half-baked way that lacked intelligence, no bite to the satire, and no interesting points being made…

Really? A human way to react? So when you do something retarded that causes your break up, the realistic response is to vow to break up your best friends relationship…that just doesn't seem right.

I thought that was the Michael J. Fox show that had all the Happy Endings writers. Although I guess last nights episode was written by one, so who knows.

Apparently they did, as this is episode 6.

I think you're spot on though…if Schmidt had merely said something along the lines of "I have deep feelings for both you and I'm really conflicted about who to be with, and the reason I kept it a secret was because I couldn't bear hurting either one of you", he would have come across so much better. Instead he said…

Isn't that a continuity error though? If I recall there's a season one episode where Nick doesn't have a phone and claims he's going off the grid.

Let's not act like New Girl isn't a hangout show just like Happy Endings. Maybe not as extreme, but it still is most successful when it's just the roommates hanging out together and interacting, like the True American stuff.

Eh, the latter half of last season was pretty hit or miss as well to be honest, so while episode was pretty lame it certainly isn't the worst thing.

It's actually "Picca", a real restaurant. Funny joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a coincidence.

Not really an alter ego, as that's a real person. He just claimed to be her to get a table.

I dunno, it's pretty darn cartoonish…it was completely out of left field (I doubt anyone expected that) and even happened right after he got a pie in the face. And were not really given the information that it makes sense in his mind. HE decided to tell Nick, despite knowing it would likely get out. And his speech to…

Yeah, so far this is a pretty terrible arc for Schmidt. I mean seriously, the direction the writers thought to take him was to date two girls at once, and then when that inevitably blew up in his face to turn him against his friends like a child with the threat of breaking them up? They better have something really…

He was fantastic in this episode. Another huge laugh was the cutaways to him constantly trying to turn places into a clubhouse. The third one was the best, where they were in the morgue and Peralta cut him off before he could even suggest it.

My favorite Nick moment of the night had to be his scream after the second nut-punch. That was just perfect.

This was slightly better than last weeks, in that is was funnier. B- isn't that far off though, cause the Schmidt stuff is still just flat out annoying…this week we get the trope where he tells the best friend who can't keep a secret, thus outing the whole situation. Then of course instead of manning up Schmidt lies…

Yeah, so many great lines here. I particularly liked "she said she didn't have ID, and my first instinct wasn't to caress her butt".

Yes, I probably should have clarified that Braugher is really what made the bit. I mean, it would have been funny without him walking in, but his reaction elevated it to utterly classic.
