I remember when Oscar Nunez was "Spanish Mike" Alvarez on Reno 911!; that was awesome. He should do a series based on that character, but it would probably be too funny and original for broadcast TV.

I don't understand the running joke about Howard not making any money. Aerospace Engineers made a median salary of $97K in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Is it because he works at a university? I would think he'd be getting a nice salary regardless.

It's been very interesting reading the various reactions to this episode and the development between Jim and Pam. As someone who's been watching the show since day one, I didn't like it, and I think it has to do with my changing attitudes toward those characters over the last few seasons.

Michael Vick's STD status isn't exactly at the forefront of the cultural landscape.

I don't understand - I thought broadcasting a show 1-3 months per year and airing episodes out of order with almost no publicity always led to stellar ratings! [/SARCASM]

If they are no longer going to stick with shows long enough to develop them and let them build an audience, American TV networks really should consider producing shows like they do in the UK and other countries: "seasons" of 6-10 episodes with maybe a Christmas special to close out the year. That way no one has to…

Is it possible that "Happy Endings" and its sister show "Don't Trust the B…" are the first Post-Post-Modern sitcoms ABC has dealt with? Firmly grounded in classic sitcom structure, yet with a sense of humor shaped by decades of innate irony and self-awareness thanks to "Seinfeld," "Larry Sanders Show," "Family Guy,"…

That was an interesting moral at the end: In order to be a good friend, you should sabotage your own efforts so the people close to you won't feel inferior. Perhaps some more hidden self-reflection from the writer-producers?

I like it when a reviewer's thoughts about an episode are the same as mine. It makes me feel included. Nina and Lance are, by far, my least favorite C&F characters. Fine in tiny doses, but painful over a whole episode.

Another thing that bugged me about this episode was Sheldon's impersonation of Data as someone who just stood around thinking when others were fighting. As anyone who watched ST:TNG knows, Data was as willing as anyone to throw hands when it was go time. Because of his superior strength and durability, he was usually…

When I'm laughing at every other sentence anybody's saying, that episode gets an "A." That was 22 minutes of grade-A hilarity.

Good stuff, but this one still felt like "Season 1" even though it's technically episode 8 of season 2. Pervert-in-the-Window guy, Robin, or June actually working on Wall Street are all first season elements that don't make a whole lot of sense now.

Remakes, Sequels, Reboots, Re-Imaginings: Welcome to 21st Century Hollywood.

A very good episode almost derailed by ill-timed jokes about male rape and miscegenation. Is there a quota the writers have to meet with these kinds of jokes every season?

This was a very good episode, the best in a while. I liked Angela Kinsey's performance in this one. She did a great job of portraying her character's anger and hurt.

Thanks, AV Club, for creating a place where I can read quality writing about TV and music, while sharing thoughts with fellow readers who aren't assholes. Keep it up.
