Nope. I was hoping someone would explain why they burned his house down, too.

I used to look forward to the ranch scenes more than anything else, because at least it was something different. Everything back at home was getting super repetitive—Reese is a bully, Dewey is angry all the time, Lois yells a lot, Hal is whipped, and Malcolm is far smarter than anyone else. GOT IT.

King Arthur: Where am I, and how did I get here?
David: We weren't completely honest with you in Camelot ;Emma is the Dark One.
Nobody: How would you know that you told him that? Your memories were erased, and it was established last episode that the last thing you remember is walking into Camelot!
The Producers: It's…

Wasn't Poseidon (Ursula's father) from Greek mythology as well?

I created a drinking game for this show back in season two—just take a shot every time someone says the word "magic" or any of its variations. Some weeks you'll be on the floor in the first ten minutes.

"Magic, duh!!"— The producers

That Hillary sketch really should have been the cold open. It would have started the season off on the right foot— with a "surprise" cameo, an enthusiastic McKinnon, political humor that's actually funny. Plus it would have avoided wasting the host like they did by giving her one or two lines at the top of the sketch,…

Didn't she try to do that with that Nicholas Sparks movie that no one saw?

I thought something similar, that the wedding was suddenly part of the talk show sketch somehow. That was a failure of the director, I think, in that it wasn't made clear enough when the previous sketch had ended. Usually the audience applause makes it more clear.

But did you notice how many of the Jones-starring bits tonight involved her sitting or standing in one place and staring straight ahead? Much easier to look like you know what you're doing when you only have to do one thing (read the cards).

I don't know if it's fair to crucify the show for hiring one white guy. Especially since there are more black performers on the show right now than there ever have been before—and one of them was all over the episode despite not even being very funny.

Me too— and that was mostly because of Freeman and all the people who were objecting to the marriage taking place. I don't even remember her saying or doing anything funny in that sketch.

I remember Frasier Crane's son going emo once, but yeah, it's pretty rare.

I never even saw the cup in that scene.

Oh man, I have the exact same memory, and I also remember literally nothing else about that episode—you're blowing my mind, cube!

What Hunter says: "Lily's father? i thought he was dead?"

Actually we had met Clifford before—he debuted on The Jim Henson Hour. Otherwise you're pretty spot-on I think. The Muppet Show is timeless because it's rarely if ever dated, whereas this show tried to be relevant to a 1996 audience while still keeping the nostalgia factor intact for longtime fans. If you try to…

I have the camping one on DVD—it still holds up.

You called? :)

In fairness, they did try it on occasion—most notably the last number of the aforementioned Prince episode.
