"But, like most superpowers, nothing brings them to the table like a bunch of annoying little countries acting like jackholes."

The Valentines Day episode was great.

My wife started to watch this as well now and loves it as well. The VDay show was great.

"In 10 years we're all going to look Puerto Rican anyway."

"Just what you gonna need after knocking it out."

This show makes me so sad because I know there is nowhere to go but down. It just hits on so many levels..

The meeting scenes at Dre's work are almost always comedy gold.

Is it a running gag that there's a different woman every week at the meeting?

Loved that the woman can't say period, but the guys were talking about which is worse place to be shot - face or balls. I vote face.

Making the boss more of clown than a stiff really makes those scenes great. And Charlie is just awesome

Just caught up with the last two episodes. Still loving the show. Charlie is great.

I love this show. Charlies rant last week about not getting delivery because he doesn't want his cornmeal stolen was classic.

Pops paying the homeless guy to watch Dre when he was young was hilarious

"Son, No-Neck Tony loved you!"

I loved this last episode. The Gurkel plot was OK, but the black democrat thing was hilarious. I love that they really can address stuff like this so humorously.

I didn't care for it, the approach was just too heavy handed for me. But it was still fairly entertaining in spots. Loved the Mondale dig.

Charlie listing off the black guys that are married to white women was gold. Charlie steals every scene he's in. I'm willing to bet they'll up his role next season.

So good. I agree, Charlie is straight-up hilariously insane! I would love for a little more screen time but at the same time I don't want to burn him out.

I loved the politics and the hypocrisy that they showed - even tho when I actually gave a dame about choosing a "side" I leaned way more to the right (fiscally). Personally, as I get older the more I could give a fuck about either side - cause in the end it's all bullshit, both parties are interchangeable to the point that you can't distinguish those who are paid off (all of them) and those who aren't (absolutely none of them). The more things change the more things remain the same. The only truth for both parties is... the rich get richer the poor get poorer.

I like Charlie but I think he needs to stay in small doses. He's great with the one-liners but I wouldn't want to see too much of him.

I wish Fishburne had a larger part in the show.

Other than the Charlie part, I thought the finale was a dud. Probably my least favorite episode of the season.
