Mild letdown
Ed Norton was really up for anything this episode (ridiculous costume, British accent), but it didn't really come together. Too bad.

Maybe, just maybe, cause they are the two best new comedies by far. A hunch I have.

Don.
He is kinda ugly. Like, from NPH to that? Sorry, Robin.

I sorta really like the random Ryan outfit of the week.

Planet Earth
Now, man, just listen. Have you ever really seen the earth? I mean, really seen it? Damn, AV Club, just when my dealer went on vacation.

Eh, I think the Daily Show has been pretty soft on Obama. They are many places to poke at him, and they don't really. C'mon, I campaigned for the guy, but he has many elements that are easy to make fun of.

You see, they are ranked, but we don't want you bitching about ranks. Cause we do dumb things like rank Sons and Daughters #1.

Google says Brothers and Sisters. Honestly I have no clue why y'all were confused.

It's hard for me to watch SNL, cause I have perfect funniness.

Honestly, y'all confuse me. Mr. Todd was the OG 30 Rock's sky is falling guy. And he was somewhat right, as this season has been pretty weak. And then this episode comes along, one that is completely off rails, had a completely insane and nonsensical plot, horrible product placement, no laughs, and you are saying they

I sort of like the exposition being handled by documentary elements. It culls away a lot of bullshitting and gets straight to comedy. "Manny's good at fencing, let's go". On MF and the Office, it's done by the talking heads. On AD, it was Ron Howard.

Yes, cause I would not like to actually see the titans of sports clashing or visuals from events of international importance. I'd prefer some blowhard describing it to me. Who let you out of the nursing home?

Problems with this
Sports and other live action stuff. Like, say elections and 9/11. You aren't going to download the coverage.

That one poster's comment, while not proving, but certainly does nothing to disprove my time tested theory that Germans love David Hasslehoff.

That whole Volt brothers moving in with dad thing was weird. Like it had mysterious hurtful family history like he was Don Draper or something.

Whatever, whatever.

This episode proved this show was good.
Cause it was kind of really off, but I love it. For example, Cameron's insensitive Asian remarks were really out of character and really not funny. And Claire's touching speech was a bit too cloying without anything to save it (like Ed O'Neil's touching speech from an eariler

Nah
Nope, not Newswire worthy. Active bands have future albums planned, stop the presses! But good on them and good for the fans.

As an American expat in Montreal, the Canadian Monopoly money/kids playing pond hockey on the five jokes read more as satire of my million hackneyed jokes. Still hilarious.

Good on you, Todd
I'm glad someone went against the grain, and smartly too. I was never a huge 30 Rock fan, but I'll acknowledge after it gained its footing it got pretty good. But it has fell greatly. My biggest problem is with Jenna, a character that is both poorly written and even more poorly portrayed. Basically,
