Awesome to see Eddie Steeples pop up in this. I was really hoping Burt would say, "Hey Gas Man," when he came into the house.

So that makes Jason Lee (Earl), Eddie Steeples (Darnell), Gregg Binkley (Kenny), and Juan Pope (Jasper) so far as main/recurring characters who have appeared on My Name Is Earl and Raising Hope.

---

Virginia: "I need to know your mom's maiden name."
Burt: "Chance."
Virginia: "No, her maiden name."
Burt: "Chance. Third cousins, big drinkers..."

---

Burt: "How big is his pool?"
Jimmy: "Medium size."
Burt: "So am I. Alright, seems fair."

Loved Jimmy tricking Burt into going to the doctor's office by telling him they were going to the arcade.

Burt doped up was hilarious.

Virginia's faces had me

Good episode, as usual. Just the right mix of humor and heart. One of my favorite little things in the show is that Jimmy always wears the same couple of shirts; it's a nice touch. I liked how this episode paired up Virginia & Sabrina and Burt & Jimmy. Maw Maw was also great this episode, nice to see Cloris Leachman used as the voice of reason this episode.

Great episode. I loved the third cousins quote and Virginia revealing that she knocked down a statue or something at a black church and allowed the whole town to think it was a hate crime.

That was a great bit in the clinic with the curtain and the test results.

I like how this show has the same sense of humor as 'Earl', but isn't really like 'Earl' at all. It's a nice style this Garcia (?) guy has developed.

Raising Hope's Burt and Modern Family's Phil are the two funniest characters on TV right now.

As awful as Jimmy having to shave his fathers junk was, I could not help but laugh through the whole thing as drugged Burt kept talking and talking. "Hey Jimmy, remember that time....", "in a couple days I'll have a prickly pear", "sorry, I forgot it was you down there".

This episode was definitely a great one!

Virginia: "We're responsible. But we're also passionate and spontaneous...'"
Burt: "Which would be our gladiator names if we were on American Gladiators, which we still might do." Love Burt!

Sabrina: "Then you need to tell me another secret. A 'sexual experimentation at summer camp' secret."
Virginia: (pause) "Did you just tell me another secret?"



Burt at the clinic was pure comedy gold.

Nothing short of brilliant. This show was gold right out of the gate. I look forward to this every week.

at Burt's comments while being shaved and then rubbing Jimmy's face with his foot. Very creepy, but damn that was hysterical! Virginia's "gossip" faces were great as well!
