Saw Olive on Kimmel last night and she looked tons better than she does on the show, and she is a pixie of a woman. I did not realize she was a local, I will have to check with my friends that went to the same college at the same time as her to get some scoop.

I found the start of the episode a little too morose, purposefully so, but it ended well enough, plus Olive knows a secret and she seems content to sit on it until she can truly pull the rug out from under Chuck.
Some of the dialogue was pretty good, especially the wry delivery by Emerson. Also Emerson's Pooh imitation was kinda funny. Kick!

Another good episode. As noted before, some great Pooh references. It would have been great if he had found some honey to grease up Chi McBride thru the window. Definitely interested to see more about Chuck's backstory.

I'm certainly glad they have Chi there to provide some comic relief to many scenes. Although I love the look and story of the show, it needs those jokes to lighten things up just a bit.
I kept trying to place the aunt who's not Swoosie and it finally came to me last night: Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors.

I'm in love w/ Anna Friel.
And this is the best role of Chi McBride's career.
I hope Chuck keeps calling him Pooh.

Olive is played by Kristin Chenoweth - a fairly famous Broadway actress. She won an Tony for playing Sally in 1999's revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and was also nominated for playing Glinda in Wicked. This show is chock FULL of famous Broadway types - I hope they can keep getting that sort of talent because it is always fun to see (like Raul Esparza in this episode!).

Absolutely Love this show.
Anyone else pleasantly surprised how quickly the story is moving along? I thought it would be weeks before Chuck figured out the Death rule and Olive finding out that Chuck was the Lonely Tourist.
