Should always put the show's name first, not the date, in the title. Because of the date being first, I almost missed this thread entirely scanning down the list of threads for this show!

I liked how the commune people were the ones with perspective. That was a bit unanticipated.

Sure has been a surreal season so far. Claymation-Randy looked cool though.

I liked the "I can see your pickle" line followed by Randy looking at Earl's crotch

Jon on the lie detector and the ending with her and Crabman in bed were good as well

I dunno. This whole season has turned from being funny to being heavy-handed and preachy. I think this Public Service Announcement of an episode may be the one that broke my camel's back. This show has now officially gone from "must watch" to "if I'm in the mood" now.

A painfully mediocre sermon followed by a really great 'Office' and a gut-busting '30 Rock.'

And now that you found it, this is your contribution?

Thanks for playing.

I enjoyed it. The claymation naked old lady with the gray hair flapping in her pits waving goodbye to Randy had me rolling!

I agree with this. Way too cloying... this reminded me of the 'freak village' episode from earlier this season, which is one of my least favorite episodes. The Claymation was an interesting idea, but I don't think they did enough with it.

The one interesting bit in this (that also wasn't really addressed) is that in a way we saw the return of criminal Earl, only with 'good intentions'. But how easily he was able to lapse into criminal methods under the (self-deluded?) guise of 'doing the right thing', and the question are how truly reformed former criminals are, are questions for a much heavier show than this.

I didn't care for this one, except for Randy staring at Joy's tatas.

I thought it was one of the better episodes of this season however, I do have to agree with wergo that MNIE has becomes a bit preachy this season and I even find it subpar than last season.

Anyways, the best part for me was the claymation Catalina telling Randy that she was supposed to take off her head and clean with it but because of the high price of the animation, she would just dance.

The whole claymation thing, while cool at times, was pure gimmick. What was the point? And did Randy have to keep shaking his head and blinking his eyes? Yeah, we get it.

I don't know. I'm starting to lose interest in this show.
