Really looking forward to the show's return. My friends are requesting them, so against my better judgment I’m going to be making some Grilled Charlies again for the premiere.

Can't wait!
I've never been brave enough to eat one, let alone even trying to make one.

The synopsis I posted above is pretty vague. Here's EW's short review, detailing the plot a little more:
It's better than you'd think, but still quite odd. And it's freakin' messy to make AND eat. I vowed that once was enough for me and most of my friends that were going to come over to watch the premiere bailed, so I'm nixing tonight's Grilled Charlies. Whew!

Solid premiere. Really glad to have the show back on the air. Nice to see Brittany Daniel return as Carmen the Transsexual; I like that this show is able to make use of the same actors/actresses in roles and doesn't have to constantly recast people.
Very interesting that they didn't resolve Dennis' marriage in a single episode. I'm glad they left it unresolved though, there's a lot of potential in that storyline.
Mac saying he would rather be shot in the face than married to Dee was even funnier when you know they're married in real life.

Brittany Daniel is so freaking hot that I would still totally do her even if she really were a tranny, post or pre op!

Just got the beginning of the repeat after The League.
I forgot Mac used electrical plugs to illustrate gay sex/marriage, lol.
Maureen talking about her dad's suicide was pretty funny too.

Dee gagging was horrendous. It was pretty damn realistic. In real life, I have the same type of reaction as Mac. I can't stand to even hear people gag. Yuck.

This episode felt really anti-climatic and short, but still funny.

I'm not sure the Dennis marriage story is one that will be the subject of any sort of arc. Based on prior episodes, I wouldn't be shocked for nothing to be said about it for half a season and it come up again in some sort of random and unexpected way (like finding the woman is now a heroin addict who has hooked up with Rickety Cricket).

I watched the show after eating a big plate of Mexican food. I almost chucked it back up after watching that. Funny stuff anyways.

I loved the return of the gagging, she does that in such a great hilarious way. The last time was when, when she tried to do standup?

I, too, think the gagging's hilarious. I watched that stand up clip just yesterday and it still floored me. Kaitlin Olson commits 100% to the physical comedy on this show. IMO, she's the best female sitcom actress since Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

For whatever reason, the funniest part to me was when Dennis was kicking Mac out of the apartment. Dennis "You actually don't own a single thing in here."
Mac "That can't be true."
Something about the way Mac delieved that line had me in rolling.
Dee's gagging is great, and Mac coming into the bar talking "Where's the GD bible." Funny stuff.

God I love this show. It's amazing how much stuff you can miss the first time you watch also (I just rewatched "That can't be true," and you're right... fantastic!)
The extension cords analogy was the best, right up there with Mac slapping his hands together simulating balls against ass.
Brilliant!
