I agree that this is the best episode I've seen of the show so far. I wish they gave Chris Pratt more to do, though. I think what I hated most about the first season was that he sat there like a potted plant.

Good episode. Liked the subplot with Ron and the hernia and being dragged around in the chair by April

Really funny episode. This show has really grown on me. I liked the play the Professor Henry Gates thing with breaking into the van.

That was probably the thing I liked least. It was so clumsy in terms of execution. I think I just prefer it all the way around if they keep this show less political.

The generic white guy (not sure of the character's name) is the most bland and boring-ass character on TV.

Yeah, he's also pretty useless. This Ron Swanson guy does nothing for me, but neither does the generic love interest guy.

"I did get a kiss from you"
"Yes you did"
"Now we both have herpes"
That was a great episode.

"And I made us a mixed CD. It's all filled with songs about people watching people. It's mostly Sting."

^ Yeah, this show feels like it's just getting started while The Office is starting to overstay its welcome a bit. I hope Louis CK pops up in a few more episodes.

I'm sure we'll end up seeing Louis CK in some more episodes. It really felt to me like they were setting him up as a recurring character. I enjoyed this ep. I'm happy I stuck with this show despite its awkward beginning. I never cared too much for the intern, but she really cracked me up this episode.

So, which show is getting the axe next? Based on their weak premieres, the likeliest candidates seem to be Amy Poehler's "Parks and Recreation" and Jenna Elfman's new sitcom, "Accidentally on Purpose." And though it's highly unlikely FOX will yank fan favorite "So You Think You Can Dance," its lackluster ratings will probably relegate it back to the summer (where it belongs, obviously).
I hope this does not happen and I don't think they could cancel it this early with Amy as the main star of the show and how much they invested in this show.
