EVERYONE DID

Wasn't she always a student? In season 4 she was doing the coat check as a work study program.

Likewise.

He surprisingly plays an incredibly convincing corny VHS-era cowpoke.

He wasn't working for me at first but he's grown on me. Abed's smile-off with him and his exchange with Rachel cracked me up.

Ok, so that was the hardest I've laughed at anything the Dean's done in years.

hey guys I just started tonight's Hannibal and GAHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK WHYYYYY

Consistency!

Wait, so who did Tim and Eric play? I'm so confused.

Fred Willard

In other news, Zachary Knighton is guesting over on Parenthood, strangely and decidedly playing a character who actually appears to have his life together.

BEE PLUS

Has he, though? When I first read your post I automatically sort of thought that he's been learning a lot of lessons this year, but in actually looking back on the episode list, I think the last time "Jeff learns a lesson" was the point of an episode was back in Intro to Teaching.

The concept behind the resolution was nice, though it was wrapped up pretty quickly. I liked the Jeff/Shirley reconciliation, but I didn't really like how they just dropped Britta after the system fell apart (though the visual of her smearing mustard all over her face was pretty funny).

Can Mitch Hurwitz become a series regular, please?

Seriously, who the fuck even came up with the idea for this episode?

Those shows had plenty of time airing without the Voice for NBC to see how inflated the ratings were. I believe About a Boy and Fischer will run the rest of their seasons post-Voice, so if they keep up these ratings with no other reference point NBC might mistake them for hits.

I've always thought that HIMYM's always been able to nail the emotional stuff, even if the comedy's been hit and miss over the years. If this episode's ending is any indicator, and if it means what we all think it means, I think the show could handle it pretty well.

Yeah, typo on my park. Kitchen at 8, Idol at 9.

Fox moves Hell's Kitchen to Thursday at 8, Idol to Thursday at 9, and Rake to Friday at 8.
