Thanks for the heads up! The interview was a great read. I, too, was wondering if they would revisit the topic of Nikita's parents (I seem to remember an episode in Season 2 where she thought she found her real father but he turned out to be a Division agent), but they really would have needed more episodes to do it

I'm actually happy this show is getting some more episodes. It may not be super groundbreaking (which I really don't need in a sitcom), but the cast is great and the stories are fun. Probably not a future classic, but it's way more enjoyable than The Millers and most of the other new comedies this year.

I didn't think I'd like this show so much, but it's quickly becoming one of my favorite new sitcoms this year (after Brooklyn 99). The cast is great, and I like how they add really weird elements to more traditional sitcom plots (like the magic 8-ball weasel last week). For some reason, I couldn't stop laughing at

It's almost as good as that amazing Han Solo the Scolding Smuggler shot they keep running with all the Star Wars rumors.

I was actually excited when I read this headline because I thought they were talking about Bombshell. But nope, of course it's Hit List, because Smash still can't recognize the best part of itself.
*goes back to listening to Bombshell soundtrack*

"I thought I saw a strange man standing in my room." This line plus Mike's minimally concerned response ("next time, run or scream, or both) was my favorite part of the episode. Axl robbing the kitchen of random stuff was hilarious, too.

Definitely on my list of stadiums I want to visit!

Be careful: you could end up getting Josh Hamilton back…

I refuse to consider these one-game wild card things part of the "playoffs". They're just single games to earn a shot at being in the playoffs (see last night's Tampa/Texas game).

My favorite line was Sue's "How come every time we get in the car we end up talking about the Death Napkin?!?"

I know I'm probably the only one, but I kind of wish Sean Hayes's new show was about him and Hilty trying to make Liasons from Smash into a real musical, complete with nonsensical sheep. I loved that plotline for its sheer ridiculousness.

That was easily my favorite scene of the entire season. I like confident/awesome-Rachel, but she's really taken a back seat this season to girlfriend-Rachel. I hope she gets more interactions with Jessica in the future.

I completely agree. I've always liked Rachel, but the better storylines for her character tend to happen when she's with characters other than Mike (esp. Louis). Hopefully Mike's revelation this episode changes their dynamic to a point where he can actually help her realize her dream.

I don't see how anyone could get tired of hearing him say, "Let's go bust some punks!"

Thanks for posting that, that was hilarious! There's a second part where Perry quizzes her on her past projects. I never knew she was on Cheers! With brown hair!

Helberg has done an amazing job as Howard the last couple of seasons, so I'm not upset by his win at all, as much as I love Andy Dwyer. I am mystified by Cuoco's win, though. Firstly, wouldn't she be a lead actress, not supporting? Secondly, she's not even the best supporting actress on her own show; Amy and

I can't believe I didn't get a Middle notification! I thought for sure Will Harris would have been proclaiming her victory (sort of) at the top of his lungs. Regardless, I'm so happy for her! So well deserved!

Thank you so much for asking the cast! Eden Sher is so amazing and enthusiastic. I love how much the people working on this show love what they do!

If you do, don't be impulsive and suicidal like Alex. Be smart about it like Nikita.

Brick's ongoing trials with the sleeping bag were basically my entire 12 year Girl Scout experience condensed into 60ish seconds (including him bringing the sleeping bag unpacked and dragging on the ground to the meeting). I was laughing so hard at what was going on with him in that scene that I have very little
