Since when is not liking visual rape humour a case of being "politcally correct". I swear no one actually knows what that term means anymore.

Ha, I saw the names but didn't make the connection. Good work.

@fastandsloppy - I wasn't referring to your private life (which you've bizarrely decided to make public), what you do to your wife is no concern of mine.

Fucking someone while they sleep, whether they're your wife or not, is sexual assault.

Too much
I actually said out loud "oh shit no" when they did the sleep rape joke.

Office did it
Didn't The Office do a similar mnemonic gag with Michael? Although I think Michael's tended to be (usually insulting) image based whereas Phil's were gibberish but worked.

Classic Tammy
Rob Morrow's manic acting reminds me so much of when Charlie starts acting like a lawyer in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Sexy MF
Sofia Vergara killed it in this episode. And Jay's off-screen "calm down" to Mitchell just before the cut slayed me.

I loved it. I'd read the reviews and assumed it was crap, I watched it one lazy weekend and was blown away. So dark.

Not Good
Didn't enjoy it at all. Too choppy and disjointed, especially in the first half. They didn't demonstrate time passing on Chuck and Morgan's globe-trotting adventure well enough, only a throwaway line from Sarah about being gone months gave it away.

The Trip
Here in the UK The Trip is to be a six episode BBC TV series, rather than a film. If it was originally designed to be 6x30 mins then perhaps that explains why it doesn't quite hang together as a 109 minute film.

The negative reaction to Running Wilde is based on previews written by TV critics who've seen the pilot, which is supposedly not great.

It starts on Channel 4 next month, I believe.

Correction
I'm pretty sure the kid's name is Adil, not Edil.

I think the Skype placement was heavy handed, it took me out of the story. Not as much as the close-up of the MGD bottle though. Or the characters saying 'Hyundai' fifty tines.

Having been brought up with the British 6 episode system, but fell in love with many 20+ episode US shows, I don't think either system is clearly better than the other.

Michael - Bruce
Jim - Jet
Dwight - Sammo
Andy - Jackie

They should actually just do this as a spin-off of the American version. Send Dwight over to Beijing to open up a satellite branch, they'd love an officious motherfucker like him over there.

If you're always so literal with your headlines then why wasn't this one "Party Down back on iTunes & Amazon"? You do have a history of misleading (or at least vague) headlines. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Gritty realism
I look forward to the episode where the Chinese Pam and Jim have a baby and dump it after they realise it's female.
