This is an extordinarily intelligent show; which makes the Ferris Bueller reference so intriguing. The famous Cameron speech was surprisingly relevant. I loved how Noah responded to it as he was walking through the door; and the added layer that he remembered it in his own confessional story.

This was a sincerely epic episode. A+ rating from me. It hit every sweet spot for me.

Judge Perd will declare this case a mistrial, since that's something he's heard people on TV say.

I want to believe that.

But for reasons known only to Murphy — I dunno, it doesn't take a mind reader to conclude that his star HAS fallen so much, that an SNL appearance would be a significant boost to his flailing career.

That's funny, but I'm not sure that someone with the last name Wozniak can ever be forgotten. Hopefully Rogen will be able to fill out the role and the name.

I love how Kutcher's Jobs movie never gets mentioned in any of these statements. Being completely forgotten is worse than being universally hated.

3rd Rock From the Sun also had a post Superbowl episode which incorporated supermodel aliens and multiple musical numbers.

Where's Jean Ralphio? I would have assumed he'd be hanging on to Tom's glory as long as possible. Maybe we can assume they had a falling out.
Also, I really enjoyed Billy Eichner in this episode.

I'm convinced that he was shooting morphine or heroin. Maybe the magazine was just meant to enlighten Baxter. He had all the signs of an opiate bender, including his remoteness and anger. He might be a dick, but he's always outwardly professional. Plus his eyes had very dark circles around them, and he grabbed a…

I found the Harrison stuff very amusing because my high school in Indiana was named after him. It was in Tippecanoe county. He is very much a part of the local history and I always thought it was effin stupid. Also, he was a big Indian slayer, and there are murals there that resemble the awful mural in Pawnee's city…

And what a c**t for casually mentioning Adam's semi-affair, and not even caring to answer Hannah's questions about Adam. I'm glad that Adam's spell was broken, because it almost seemed like they were headed for a love connection.

I'm amused by our collective analysis and observations of this episode. It's a testament to this show as a whole that we can have differing opinions and that they all have merit. I can't remember ever having these types of discussions regarding animated-character choices. Not even the Simpsons.

Thank you for introducing me to the term 'helicopter parents'. Very amusing and very fitting.

I adored 'Samantha Who?' It was a pretty convoluted premise, but the ensemble acting was superb. Melissa McCarthy was at her best then. More Gilmore Girls Melissa than pratfall machine McCarthy. And it's always a joy to see Jean Smart.

I can see your pov. However, the Bushes were being insufferable here. Cynthia was sitting at a table insulting the family for their low income status, their bad food, and their cleanliness. Also, Logan wasn't doing any work at all. I'm not sure I could have lasted more than a week with that. But maybe as a woman…

Well outsourcing women's roles to actors in bad drag is still very much alive, unfortunately.

I think the show suffered from irrelevancy. A sketch show with only white men doesn't seem to fit in to today's sketch world.

Why do the characters keep saying 'Obama' without context? Does Danny Strong think that black people just yell his name out randomly? I don't believe that Luscious would ever say, 'What you talkin 'bout Willis'.

I also feel you made a point in a general sense instead of only a POV perspective, which makes it less difficult for the angry/hurtful commentators to dismiss the article.
