At least it might give him something resembling a plot while getting rid of personality-less black hole of a wife.

Has that couch gag been used before?
Because part of it - Homer climbing into the tree, drinking electric beer, houses flashing on and off - is used as the Simpsons ident on Channel 4 (UK)
When they panned up to the power intermittently cutting out over Springfield, you could even still see the number 4, just not quite

The Regina Spektor theme song is forthcoming.

"Did you have a brainflood?"
"Where did that come from?"
"I have no idea, but I approve."

Yep, I'm liking season five so far much more than four anyway, but this episode was great.

Yeah, Christa's been looking really good for the last few years.
Like she looks better now than she did ten years ago on Scrubs at the height of her horrible immobile face.

*sigh* I had just gotten over my Katherine McPhee-related PTSD.
Welp, this is all coming screaming back to me.

Oh, I didn't mean it was particular to this show, but I'm sure it's like a 'thing' to make games look shitty.
And yeah, I always assume that if a show like Big Bang Theory actually shows a game, it's product placement. I remember them playing Just Dance or something and the game just lingered around on the screen long

Yeah, it wasn't even as bad as the product placement this show has done before - I didn't hate the Diet Dr Pepper one that much, but the extended Target advert last season?
Nope, shut it down.
Not okay.
I was grateful the Pringles weren't commented on and talked about, as I was fully expecting them to be.

Isn't there a whole thing about games in shows, though?
Like they try and make them look as awful as they can on purpose?
I remember it being talked about in - I think - the Switched at Birth reviews where Toby was playing some kind of game where he was flying through a trench or there was cityscape or something.
Maybe.

Ohh, then that sentence in the review makes sense now - I wondered why he would have been encouraging Andy and his Friends hat to be in between Jules and his child!

I have no idea why, but I definitely want to eat some Pringles.
*sigh*
Whatever keeps the lights turned on, I guess*.

I don't necessarily think he was being dickish, or at least not on purpose.
I'd say more thoughtless about the consequences.
You're right, though. Completely heartbreaking and some goooood acting from Mitchell.
Like with The O.C., you kind of know that at some point, she's going to have to return to the Fosters properly

Definitely hoping for more Bay, Daphne, Toby interaction this season.
Wasn't a fan of them being stranded off in their own little plots with minimal crossover.

The Fosters thread, anyone?

Definitely know what you mean with Ron - they're giving him the Dwight Shrute treatment, which is a shame.
And I hear you with Happy Endings characters going into caricature mode, but I actually don't think it worked to their detriment.
Having rewatched them all recently, I think season 3 was their best, which makes its

I mostly agree that the show found its strengths and has stuck to them, but I kind of feel like it's getting a bit stale.
I love that every episode is packed with recurring jokes, but there don't seem to be many new ones being added to the roster.
I don't know, I just kind of feel like it's a bit 'Best of Cougar

Pretty sure my mom would have a heart attack if they stopped showing it for a while because it had overtaken the US broadcast.
There's the target demographic: middle aged women who like Jonathan Rhys Meyers' face.
She's told me I should watch it a couple of times when I've spoken to her and, having watched the pilot,

But it's, like, slang from… England.
