The Monkees had four lead singers. They had Top 40 hits with three different singers. They had number-one singles with two different singers. That's a rare club.

I guess I shouldn't wonder how a man survived being run over by a pickup truck going at least 30 MPH. Pat's head should've gone splat like a watermelon on that pavement, rewatching the scene where Todd flattened him. But, hey, Pat's resurrection made for a great final scene for the scene, so…

I was surprised when the gang estimated that he was, what, 4 or 5 when the virus hit. The timeline has been a little wonky throughout this series, though. I kinda figured he was more like 8 when things went bad, since I agree his current age is 12-14.

With one move, Todd had him on the ground pleading for mercy, so he kinda did get beaten up. If I was the ref, I'd have stopped that fight.

No, which is why the answer is yes.

I get a similar vibe from Villasenor as I did when Jimmy Fallon first joined the cast - where it feels like the new person is trying really hard to fill a specific role previously filled by a departed cast member. Fallon was Sandler-lite; this Melissa gal is nu-Pedrad.

Pretty much. I feel like I watched a different show than the reviewer did.

I wanna know why a man of unlimited resources never bothered to get those teeth fixed!!!

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks: I thought the final Brooklyn bar sketch was by far the weakest of the night. I guess you had to be there… or at least *from* there…

Yup, same age group here. My parents were older so I was pretty familiar with Jerry and his buddies, and looked forward to seeing what they were up to every Labor Day. Looking back, true highlights of actual entertainment were minimal, but I'd be glued to the tube mostly to see if Jerry or Ed would doze off during the…

Well put. And sometimes we forget the level of desperation and loneliness Phil endured when he believed he really was the last man on Earth. It just took him some time to get back up to speed on how to behave around other people!

C+ is a bit generous but not ridiculously so. Mediocre or worse writing is the show's biggest problem these days. The cast should and probably will be weeded down a bit, but the writers' room desperately needs some new blood. When I do laugh at SNL these days, it's usually at something crude or scatalogical; it's only…

While it's possible Todd may have a bit of a dark side - hence, The Bacon Incident - I'd be shocked if he was capable of the nastiness/viciousness you describe.

My brain tells me you're right, but OTOH I've been pleasantly surprised at how much Sudeikis has appeared this season. I'm still hoping he somehow survives. My comforting theory is that the drone-operators poisoned the cow (for reasons yet unclear) and the poisoned cow (not The Virus) made Mike sick, not vice versa. …

As is Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones, LTD.

Close… Jack co-produced and co-wrote Head; Bob Rafelson directed it.

The Wiggles' cover was especially inspired.

Say what you want about the lyrics or the song itself, but those are definitely Micky's still-strong pipes on it - the chorus is especially unmistakably Dolenz!

I gave this episode high marks mostly because the Phil/Mike/Carol bedroom sequence may have been the most bizarre scene I've ever witnessed on network TV. The total absurdity of it had me laughing so hard through the whole bit.

I loved the Sudeikis/Forte dynamic, and I'm surprised at the level of negativity being shown toward this episode. The show continues to surprise me - I mean, how could meeting your thought-he-was-dead-for-years brother be anything but a joyous and touching reunion? And yet, it surely was anything but! I really hope…
