"Loose Lips"

Some good funny stuff going on with Alan's case, and the bet between him and Brad. When Lori got Brad to confess why Alan bothered him so much, I almost spit my drink out, plus Lori's grin almost seemed real-life genuine when Brad let loose his assessment of Alan's putty ass and flabby body and Brad's jealousy of the ladies in the office wanting to bed Alan over him. Lori's "I have no interest in *ducking* either one of you" to Brad was a good line, as was Alan's "I love the feel of a stiff breeze against my rosy cheeks."

Denny launching another hail mary for Alan in the form of Rev. Al Sharpton was really funny because Alan was mouthing the words he wrote for Sharpton as Sharpton championed for a gay Santa in front of the non-friendly judge on this case.

Lori's subplot was a mess, and I have no idea how both Paul or Lori don't get dis-barred for their actions trying to do some CYA that involved therapy patient-doctor confidentiality stemming from the fear of violence by the patient onto his ex-wife.

The Santa storyline was pretty good.

The Lori storyline was rather dull again. I did figure it would end the other way though, with them showing up at the house and find him killing her.

Mark Valley was given more than one line this ep. This little competition between him and Shore is pretty funny. I liked when he was able to get the clerk to give Shore that particular judge. And then Shore reminding Sharpton that the Santa was gay, not black.

Monica Potter gets more storylines than anyone not named James Spader - why?

Three words.

****. Sex. Ual.

I was kinda disappointed that the "rabbit" did it again [must've been the extra "god almighty"]. It'd be nice if they threw Brad a bone and actually let him win at least one bet before the season's over.

I'm sorry, was there another storyline this week? Other than the obscene amount of time spent looking at the lovely Monica Potter, I really didn't notice much else.

Including the "twist" at the end.

"My father liked to wear dresses on occasion. He called it a kilt and sang all those Scottish songs, but we all knew the truth."

What is to say one of them won't? Rene Auberjonois is not a regular on the show, and is only listed on IMDB as appearing for only 9 episodes.

First the peg-legged chick, now a midget; Alan would be a great fetish-oriented pimp.

I loved James' delivery of the "either you're mistaken, or I'm jealous" line.

I was watching M*A*S*H (the movie) over the holiday weekend - I noticed that Rene Auberjonoisblahblah was the Padre!

There was a recent article stating

The "hail-mary pass" has run it's course. One Sharpton appearance was unexpected and powerful, two pushed the limits.

That was one of my favorite exchanges. Actually I meant to post it yesterday but failed to submit it. Oh well. I find myself rewinding Alan's speeches just to see the reactions he gets and his cool as ice delivery.

According to tvguide.com

Not really surprised they're dropping Lake Bell. Once Alan and Sally broke up they didn't have much for her to do.

Chew

One of the few casting changes in recent memory I've actually been pretty happy with.

Fielding Mellish

Lake Bell is gone? Good.



I've been worried that face might crack my TV tube eventually.

total butter face

movieking

Agreed. She doesn't give me the hot.

Red Dog

Another fun episode. I thought they handled the whole atty-client privledge subplot quite well.
