It's like they're trying to force it down our throats.

It's the Cousin Oliver of running gags - it's new and it sucks.

It's realistic, it's just very soon. This could have been a season finale cameo. We weren't really given the strongest timing for Ann's pregnancy or the events of Pawnee, so the baby could have been born in 3-4 of our weeks.

Offerman can still sell a line, damnit. The first reading of Doc McStuffins? A-. The second, harbinger of doom version? A++++++.

My favorite is Drunk/Medicated Leslie, followed by Pikitis Leslie.

I only call Jerry "Jerry". I will never call him another name. The joke was great as a one-off Garry reveal, decent when they called him Larry the first time, and more and more awful when it seems he's going to be called this until the show ends. The fact the mistake in saying his name is the same thing as like…him…

Really? Ron's "Son, people CAN SEE YOU" is still a go-to reference for me for a host of situations.

Community literally did this last night with Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, where the first episode obviously had one less Advanced.

I don't know what that's doing for the show, though. This plot isn't funny and it doesn't develop any of the characters in a good way. If this show wanted us to hate these people or think that they're assholes…why start in season 6? This show was the nice show with positive attitudes. Why shake that up?

That was a visual callback to the time where he accidentally throws the hammer into the glass display case. Laughed openly for three minutes over each event.

Still. Despite that, his friends are abusive assholes ALL THE TIME. He considers these people friends. It used to roll off his back, now with this plotline it seems that there's a stronger self-awareness and sadness.

I disagree - Jim O'Heir injected sad tones into that exchange and when he thanks Ben at the very end. It was like (and this breaks my heart) when, say, you're secret friends with the school weirdo and the weirdo pretends to not acknowledge you when you're out with your friends and you see them as a sacrifice to you.…

Chris, Ann, Ben, Andy, and Ron shouldn't be engaging. Chris is upbeat and positive, Ann is an outsider in the office and is seen as very sweet, Ben is also supposed to be sweet and the perfect man, and Ron should be delighted that Jerry is incompetent as it screws with the runnings of government. Andy should laugh at…

Shauna only had one father - her father had two families. But I like the last name. Both names sound Native American to me, and it would be cool if she had that heritage, just because we see so few Native American characters on television.

That's true - but she was very one-note before and just a convenient pretty girl for people to date. You can argue that our increased time with her reveals the weirdness there all along.

She started off as such a one-note character: pretty, with a career that connects her to the government and single so characters could date her. She was convenient. Recently, with the "I could fix him" line about Dexhart, they've made her more layered. I wonder if she's actually going to be playing a larger role now -…

I'm sympathetic to bullied people as well, having grown up one. The reason the early Jerry hate was funny/passable is because the show was so nice and full of nice moments and nice relationships and nice people overcoming obstacles and mean people. Now, our "nice" characters openly BERATE this character probably once…

The Jerry treatment of late bothers me. Up until recently, it was clear that they appreciated him in some way, and the show consistently put in references to him being well-endowed, happily married to this beautiful woman, has a happy life with his simple job and his beautiful kind daughters. Now they treat him in…

Niles did try to do right by Maris - he put up with all of her illnesses and surgeries and hangups, had loving nicknames for her, he tried to spice up their sex life (in several episodes - the satyr paintings, the time he hides in the closet naked), and he often defended her to Frasier and Martin who clearly did not…

I agree - I think the show made two "villains" to help Niles and Daphne look more innocent, but these "villains" were very very sympathetic and acted from a clear and relatable place. The show just made them act outrageously because if both were totally cool with it and nice and wanted to double-date with Niles and…
