Biggest laugh (by far) was the cut to Ann's reaction to Ron. And the laughing just got louder when I saw Jerry's. Also loved the Malia & Sasha line, too.

A-. I thought this was much, much funnier than the first two episodes (I was slightly disappointed by those) but this really seems like a return to form.

Great article on why The Middle is underrated, though personally, I do have to admit I like Modern Family more. For me, it's much funnier, and I like most of the characters more (especially Phil, Jay, and the Dunphy kids). The Middle may be more consistent, especially as it goes into its fifth season, but after

I thought it was the best in terms of comedy; the 'night peanuts' thing made me laugh so much harder than it should've, but I felt like I was laughing almost all the time, which usually happens more when I'm around other people. This time I was by myself though.

Hmm…this was my favorite episode of the season so far, I think. I often agree with your reviews but not this one. The only iffy part was Winston disappearing, but I was able to forgive that for the excellent candelabra line.

I thought this was by far the funniest of the season so far. Even the ones that I felt I shouldn't be laughing at (Kirby and Chon, mostly) made me laugh anyway.

I'd give it a C+. I liked the Girlfriend Talk Show skit despite how many times they repeat it, and the 50 Shades of Grey skit wasn't bad. The only ones that sucked were the cheerleader abduction and the Hilary Clinton skit.

This made me laugh a lot.

This makes me happier than anything. Even if the show continues to dip in quality from season 3 (ignoring season 4), it will be much better than season 4. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT TIL MID-SEASON

For me it was when he was "bleeding out."

Winston was great this episode. This whole episode was great. This whole SEASON was great. This show is so great.

Fair points about magic, but I liked this episode for some reason. I sort of liked that they tied up some things, just cause I could see them being dragged out and resolved even more stupidly in the future. And I like that they sort of changed a lot of stuff for next season, just like the game-changer at the end of

This was one of the funniest episodes of the season to me, and I always love the episodes that do something different. Gus's physical bits were hysterical.

It is sad. Honestly, I guess the show is still better than a lot of other comedies, but it's really hard for me to like it and set it aside as its own season. The first three seasons were just so amazing.

It breaks my heart to read some of the stuff you wrote, but sadly, it's really true. When I first watched this I thought it was kind of good (maybe B- material), and slowly it dawned on me that this was the only time Jeff was going to graduate, and this was the last episode with Pierce, and ever since I came to that

I'm surprised no one (that I've seen) has mentioned Company Picnic, which was one of my favorites, alongside Booze Cruise, Casino Night, Cafe Disco, Niagara, Goodbye Michael, and a few others. The moment in the hospital without the mics was great.

Yeah, she she does. I mean, I'm assuming she's just saying that so they can build suspense, and then when the wedding actually happens, he'll convince her that she really can.

After reading your review, I recognize Ted's character motivations, as well as Robin's desire to be with Ted because of his availability, but I'm still pretty annoyed they're bringing this plot element back. This was supposed to be gone for good. Come on.

Thought this was maybe a C+ or a B-. The only skit I laughed hard at was when Darrell's House came back. The Game of Game of Thrones and M&M skits got old fast. I also wasn't too impressed with the Jennifer Aniston skit aside from some of the amusing impressions (Vanessa Bayer and Taran Killam, mainly).

Interesting. I would've given this a C probably, mostly because I was expecting Ryder's catfisher to be revealed and he/she wasn't. I figured it would at least show the person to the VIEWER, if not to Ryder.
