I liked this episode. It was especially nice to see Carol loosen up a bit after marriage.

The way Teddy pronounces his "w"'s sold that scene for me. As well as how it cut off abruptly. Almost Family Guy-esque.
Biggest laugh of the night for me.
"Even her greatest detractors have to admit, Taylor Swift can write a catchy pop song."
This was a really interesting watch. Though I admit I was a bit less interested in the second episode, I'm really looking forward to where they end up going with the series. It's super unique.
Honestly, one thing I noticed the much is that she had her shit together. Phil had run the gamut, was unshaven, a slob who had peed his pants. Carol may have been a stickler too much for the rules, but she had a nice tent, was cooking reasonable food, and had kept herself presentable.
Well, that was the commercials between the two episodes, technically.
I'm surprised this review didn't even mention it. Did it not air in the West showing or something? It made me laugh uncomfortably, which is what comedy should do sometimes.
I think this should be made, but they should never show the inside of the Puppy Box, either. You just have to assume that there ARE puppies in there.
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
I don't mind any creator being proud of their work.
I really like the production and all on "Blank Space" and "Style", but I could do without the lyrics or singing. Basically, they're good songs that Taylor Swift kind of messes up with her contribution to them. Oh well.
I was super expecting a political sketch to wrap it up. But they pretty much stopped the sketches with 45 minutes to go.
She's so super funny and talented. She barely had to say anything, but she killed all her lines anyway.
The worst part was when they did the montage, then cut to Jost's "national hug day, DAD" joke; you know, the one that he completely failed to sell as a perfect example of how poor his WU anchoring is. Geez.
I think Martin Short and Maya Rudolph was perhaps my favorite part of the whole episode.
Out of all the current cast members' parts, I felt like that was the weakest (the Californians doesn't count, I'm pretending that never even happened). McKinnon's Justin Bieber is SO good, and then they replaced her with… that. Did Jay Pharaoh even do anything?
Are we not getting a AVClub review? I was looking forward to hearing what y'all thought about some of the recurring sketches. I realize a lot of the show was blink-and-you'll-miss-them smash-cut montages from the past 40 years, but there were enough live segments and musical performances to at least make some comments…
Cute episode, but like AVClub, I'm a little worried at how many episodes have the kids doing A-plot stuff at school, with Bob/Linda dealing with less-important-to-the-story B-plot stuff at the restaurant.
