Ummm. Hmmm. OK. Tonight just felt like random clips strung together into 1 episode. Just all over the place.

And after 4 seasons Ive come to the conclusion, I hate every woman on this show.

I hate to say it (but almost everyone else has already), I was always this show's bigest fan who turned on literally dozens of people it, but it's starting to really suck.

Even as a DVD completest I may not buy the 4th season unless it turns around.

So Gina Gershon was just brought in to ride Leary for a scene

This was the first time I can remember checking the clock 20 minutes into the episode.

The opening scene with Gina Gershon was pretty funny.

That and I felt kinda bad from Mike.

The only funny bit was Mike's razor cuts.

I thought the Intervention bit was funny only b/c we watch the A&E show. When Teddy said, "Oh, but I love that show." it was icing on the cake. Would have been epic if they had brought Jeff VanVondren in as a guest star.

"I'm with some folks who just love you like crazy. We're gonna say what we've got to say and you're gonna say what you've got to say and then we're done."

Denis Leary gave a damn good monologue in that one-shot that zoomed in on him and then zoomed back out. Did think he fell off the wagon until he revealed it was water.

Yup, but I'm beginning to think that she just wanted out of the relationship.

Seriously--she went from "I'd been wondering when I'd get that [the ring] back" to walking out and ending things in about 30 seconds. I was so annoyed/bored with that whole thing I was actually fast-forwarding. Ugh.

Didn't like much of this ep. at all except the last scene. Bummer.

He sounded like he had a pretty heavy headcold, so maybe his scenes were cut back.

Another solid ep for me.

Am I the only one who is actually enjoying this season?

It's definitely not as good as the first two seasons, but I think it is much better than season 3. Season 3 started off great but after the first few episodes it really went south quickly.

This season has been far more entertaining than last season. I'll definitely agree that most of the subplots involving Janet and Franco's fiance are lame, I still enjoy Sheila and Maggy quite a bit.

Unfortunately the show has gone downhill since Tommy has stopped drinking. I miss the ghosts and all the inner turmoil Tommy faced the first 2 seasons. I really hope they bring back jimmy and the ghosts like they did a episode before last.

The show hasnt jumped the shark for me at all. It's not nearly as good compared to Season 1 and 2, but it's still some of the best TV on right now.

Probie screwing up slitting his wrist in the bathtub was the highpoint, sadly.

I miss Franco's almost-brother-in-law.

This episode just felt like another whole set of scenes designed for Leary to act real life fantasies.

Oh, I'm going to go to the ghetto and tell these 2 gang looking members to turn down their radio, and they aren't going to stick a knife in my chest because they are just so shocked that I stood up to them, and have backed down to my dominant personality.

An incredibly hot woman is inviting me over for completely anonymous random sex.

However he can't make this show a complete love fest so he throws in little "setbacks" like a dog comes after him, and the chick cums too quick and he doesn't get his off.

I think the show (or Denis Leary) needs an intervention.

I agree, this episode was just another in a long line of sub par episodes this season. I think that Leary has lost his touch.
