That had me !
Best episode of the series so far!

"Alex Trebek." "Too smart."
"Pat Sajak." "Perfect!"

The Criterion line was great, although I can't help but wonder how many people got that. Overall another good episode too. This show just keeps getting better. I really hope ABC gives it a chance and keeps it going.

The one thing that still bugs me is Esperanza. Her accent is just too much, she needs to tone it down a little.

Wow, they pulled out Tell All The People by The Doors...don't think I've ever heard that song other than on The Soft Parade album.

Loved the gag with the clock when they were trying to decide how long they had to escape. Very good episode, and the next episode should be interesting.

that was funny but the rest of the episode was pretty poor. this is the second episode of the show i have seen and this weeks episode was better than the last one i saw last week. i still think this is the worst year in history for ABC comedies, this is without a doubt the best comedy for ABC which is pretty sad, i guess you could count men in trees as a comedy but its also a drama and its 1 hour.

I thought it was a great episode as well. Rock adding butter to his popcorn was hilarious. As was the inevitable payoff of the portable toilet. Loved Gary in the yogurt bath and the intern dressing up as "glam years Mick".

I hadn't watched 5 minutes of it before I decided this was crap and it wasn't even worth the DVR space. I'm done with KOP. I tried to give it a shot, but thing should get cancelled quickly. Anything's got to be better. And I really wanted a good Donal Logue show...

Where did I say this was my first episode? I said I tried to give it a shot... which I did... since the beginning. Take a lot at previous KOP posts. You assumed I meant I only gave it a 5 minute shot for tonight only. I was getting turned off more and more by each espisode, and the beginning of this one was the last straw for me.

Esperanza talks? I need to pay more attention.

That's a little surprising, because I thought this was a pretty solid ep. A much better wrap up to the Mick Jagger storyline than last week's would have been, and great lines from Rockefeller and "Gary".

My apologies. No way I'm going to go back and read all the old threads, and your post read as if you just gave this particular episode 5 minutes. Sorry you don't like the show. I think it's great!

My wife and I both thought this was the funniest episode so far. "Reginald" steals the show.

And I got the Criterion line, but I doubt my wife did.

I want the theme song as well

I liked this episode. The first couple of episodes left me unimpressed, but it definitely has picked up steam.

It was the best ep of the season so far. Im loving this show more and more.

Though Esperanza can get VERY annoying. That husky voice and accent can wear on the brain. Luckily thats the only negative so far.

I caught the last 10 minutes and thought it sucked big time. I was out of my element though, I'll watch an entire episode next week and see if it'll grab my interest. It should be a decent show considering most of the replies in this thread are positive.
