If you have DirecTivo, better check your ToDo list because it's not showing up as a new episode so it won't get recorded.

TheNightFlier · 10-29-09, 08:50 PM

The previews for this look great.

DJLinus · 10-29-09, 10:15 PM

Who's playing the soldier? I recognize the guy and can't place him. It's killing me.

EDIT: It just hit me: it's Keith from "Scrubs"!

Jimmy James · 10-29-09, 10:31 PM

Yep, it's Dudemeister himself.

What a weird episode. They needed one like this for the season.

MrX · 10-29-09, 10:33 PM

Cricket blasting Dee with the chair was great

aktick · 10-29-09, 10:51 PM

Not too much

for me until Dee got smashed, that whole last scene was gold.

BadlyDrawnBoy · 10-30-09, 12:17 AM

This was hilarious.

the bird costumes, and the song. Genius.

pridesticks06 · 10-30-09, 01:29 AM

So hysterical. The last 10 minutes was just hilarious, and the song was amazing. I loved it when Charlie did the bird echo at the end too. I just lost it haha

Matthew Chmiel · 10-30-09, 02:26 AM

"Did he send you any dick pics? It could be a mess down there."

I loved Frank playing Kiss from a Rose and then Dee attempting to sing it before Cricket hits her with the chair.

Frank's final line. "I knew this shit wasn't fake."

Maniac: I love you guys, you remind me of my kids.
Gang: Oh you have kids?
Maniac: Yeah... well.... not anymore.

I thought this episode was awful.. Didn't crack a smile once. Thankfully The League made up for it, but disappointed to say the least.

It was by far the worst episode of the season for me. However, it was not devoid of some laugh out loud moments. Cricket seemingly coming out of no where to smash Sweet Dee in the face with a chair was amusing. So were all the scenes DeVito was in. Him eating trash was very reminiscent of the intervention episode where he was foaming at the mouth with booze on the street. I'm aware most people think the show's gone downhill since the addition of Danny DeVito, but I couldn't disagree more. He frequently makes the episodes for me.

Do people really say that? I don't think I've ever seen that complaint once and don't understand how anyone could say that the show's best episodes were the seven episodes of season one, but after that it's all been downhill.

Red Dog · 10-30-09, 11:26 AM

I think Danny has been a great addition.

RichC2 · 10-30-09, 11:31 AM

I rewatched season 1, the show improved greatly starting with season 2 (when Danny appeared).

The complaint as I see it isn't so much that people think the show went downhill, it's that Danny doesn't add to the group dynamic.

Slumbering Fist · 10-30-09, 11:48 AM

Who keeps a bucket of chestnuts?

Not the greatest episode, all the stuff with Piper was great but Sweet Dee's b story seemed under-thought, but it had some decent moments.

Cardiff Giant · 10-30-09, 05:31 PM

Piper really nailed the Mickey Rourke Wrestler parody. I actually thought it was Mickey Rourke for a few minutes. All in all a decent episode but I think last weeks and this week's were two of the weaker ones of the otherwise very strong season.

ChineseCheckers · 10-30-09, 06:59 PM

throwing sand in their unsuspecting faces!! gold.

While I agree the show got better after he was added to the cast I dont think he had anything to do with it. There are very few episodes he actually contributes to the funny and would have been better served being used in the same way they use Artemis and Cricket.

Was that supposed to mean that he was collecting them off the ground to eat?

It was good to see Cricket get some digs in on the gang considering how much they have collectively ruined his life.
