Totally disagree; the cast (and jokes) are always better when they are all together, or at least most of them are. Jane and Brad excepted; they can work on their own just fine.

I do agree that the Age of Conan thing was far more ridiculous; this one actually made some sense. They were just talking about it for a really, really, really long time in this one (considering it's a 30 minute sitcom) and most of it wasn't funny, just stating facts about the game. Except for "It's on like Alderaan!"…

Didn't like the blatant advertising for SW:TOR, but it was a great ensemble episode like you said. More character-driven, less "something weird happens: everyone reacts".

I suppose I meant broad in her stupidity. I really hate the stereotypical "dumb female" character and on Alex they have it cranked up to 11. She's like Andy on P&R but even less aware of how much of a moron she is.

I loved almost everything about this episode. Special points to Lassiter's truly disturbing performance and also a custom theme song! Always exciting to see the title credits change.

Dave is boring, Alex is too broad, Penny has some fantastic lines but is usually not good as a story anchor, and sad Max has the same issue as Penny, but Jane and Brad are simply wonderful. They are by far the best characters on the show, and luckily they are enough to be worth watching the entire thing. I wish the…

I completely agree about "Last Night Gus"; that episode was perhaps the purely funniest one they have ever done, and certainly the funniest hour of TV I have watched this season. But this one was great in a better way, in that they took a really well-worn homage and still made it feel interesting again and didn't lose…

Am I the only one who wanted them to just leave Jerry there and have him not be on the show anymore? I get the point they're trying to make with his character but his scenes are just the worst.

It's also why Damon Wayans Jr's "Coach" character is missed so much - he was so much more high-energy than the laconic Winston. It's not necessarily the actor's fault, but being able to bring Coach in to scream at people during scenes would really play to their screwball strengths.

The way the characters converged on the one night stand's house in the middle of the episode was a masterful bit of comedic construction. Easily understood even at a rapid-fire pace and gut-bustingly funny. They ruined it a little by not having Jess leave right after (to leave the scene on a high note) but it did give…

How dare you sully the name of the most darling Psych cop, Buzz McNabb?

I put it back on the old DVR rotation after watching tonight's, if only because Jess wasn't a complete nutcase and Nick's facial expressions were hilarious, but I have a feeling they're reeling me back in just to have an episode where Jess tries to cure a bunch of cancerous kittens via putting on a twee musical on the…

Schmidt owns so much that it makes me angry that I don't like the rest of the cast more so I can watch the show regularly. If they want to cut an "all-Schmidt show" with just scenes Schmidt is involved in after the season ends I would be happy to purchase it.

This was another episode where, at the end, I felt like I didn't really get the whole crime that they were trying to stop (the other one being the school episode). I mean, I got the general idea but it all felt very glossed over, like no one really cared. I can see they want to get Elle more involved, and a natural…

I liked Sheldon's conversational gambit of running down a list of Stuart's relatives until he could find one that was dead and thus console him, creating an emotional bond of friendship that he could then exploit. It definitely strikes me as something he put on a whiteboard at some point during a "need to find a new…

I don't think it's you. This was one of the worst episodes they've done. I think the reviewer was too blinded by love of Giancarlo Esposito to recognize what a wretched episode he was trapped in.

Man this was a terrible episode. Just when I thought Emma couldn't get any more dumb and pointless. Fairy Tale stuff was much more interesting, as it consistently is, but it was not enough to combat the suckiness of the real world plots.

The things Sheldon and Amy do for entertainment are fascinating. I'd love to see them take a C plot more often if they're going to come up with insane crap like that for them to do.

I thought the number of puns they tried to make about school rules / the case and con were Law and Order-caliber groan-worthy, but other than that it was a fun episode. The girl fell a little too easily for the schoolmate at the end (you're really going to be able to pry her away Matthew Bomer so easily?) but Mozzie…

I thought the scenes between Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas were actually pretty good this week, acting-wise, though they were trapped in a ludicrous plot. I became sort of invested in their little love triangle thing. And Eion Bailey is hot enough to keep me watching. But this show is not a good show.
