Second best for me, but only because the image of Holt taking a hula hooping class for fitness and for fun exists.

Kind of off-topic but that Howard Stern interview seriously soured me on Tina Fey. She sounded so bitchy and petty and the use of the transphobic slur was really off-putting. I know people always want SNL cast members to spill the dirt after they leave, but I kinda know why they prefer to stay quiet.
I think out of all the actors on the show, she's grown the most. Not that I ever thought she was bad per se, but when I watched the pilot, she obviously wasn't quite up to the same comedic level as some of the others and it was a little bit of a 'oh boy, so she's obviously the Ann Perkins of this show' situation. But…
The Daily Beast did a profile on her earlier this year about her political work and extensive involvement in trying to get candidates elected and Latino outreach programs and she really is pretty formidable. Like she knows her shit.
I actually kinda liked last night's episode? By the incredibly low standards the show's set for itself, I mean. Jane is still mind-numbingly awful, Motif is still terribly and embarrassingly written and I've graduated into actively feeling sorry for Martin Short and Elliot Gould whenever they're on screen but…more of…
I kinda think the off-screen dialogue is unnecessary and hokey, but I also watch on my computer with headphones which makes it suuuuuper obvious it's all ADR-ed in.
I dunno, I laughed out loud a bunch of times which is probably why I'd rate this higher. I mean, I loved Halloween II which Latoya hated too, so maybe we just have different sensibilities. But I mean, Scully prounouncing union as onion? Gina throat punching Charles? "This isn't a pow-wow, it's a haranguing!"? Jake…
I like that they're crafting really unique 'mentor' relationships between Holt and everyone else. Like Holt's mentorship of Jake is different to his mentorship of Rosa is different to his mentorship of Amy is different to his mentorship of Gina. They all have unique needs and skillsets and he nurtures and encourages…
Jake and Sophia is such a lame episode title. It should've been called HOT DAMN.
One of the things that really annoys me about this show is how hokey all the humor is. Like, all the parts that obviously supposed to be funny are legitimately painful to watch. Josh Lyman's secret plan to fight inflation this show is not.
This episode felt so tired, like Aaron Sorkin just threw his hands up in the air and was like, "Eh, what can I do? You guys hate the show anyway."
Celeste and Jesse was trite nonsense barely saved by some solid performances, so this is a huge bummer.
WOW U GUYS R OLD LOL
My ten-year old self is FREAKING OUT.
They're leaning waaaaay too heavily into Amy's eccentricites and quirks too early in the series. We don't know her well enough to find her antics charming yet. She seems certifiably crazy to me and I have no idea why Jake wants to marry her at all.
Wow, I liked this episode but that's some serious hyperbole. It's not even the best episode of this show.
"The nice thing about Schmidt and Cece—those characters and those actors—you put them together for one small scene, they’ve got four lines, five lines, and it’s magnetic. "
After last week's promising episode, these two were pretty meh.
Yeah, I watched two episodes. I think I noped out when the doctor's ex-lover also happened to be her stepmother.
I can see how other people might enjoy this show, but this joins Seinfeld and Deadwood as 'shows I know objectively are probably very good but are absolutely not my cup of tea'. The over-the-top soapiness is just too much to swallow and it's just not quite as funny as Ugly Betty or have the latter's stand-out…
