Synopsis:

Spoiler:
When Sabrina's boyfriend can't make it to the deli guy's Halloween party, Jimmy offers to put on his costume and go in his place. Virginia takes Maw Maw, who is dressed as a cat, trick-or-treating while Burt plots ways to play tricks on Jimmy. Meanwhile, when a box containing videos of Hope's mother arrives from prison, Jimmy must decide whether or not to let Hope see them. Virginia explains that children need to be protected from the truth, leading Jimmy to question what exactly his parents have been keeping from him.

Two episodes in one night? Sounds good to me!

at Lucy's videotape and Burt's reaction: "I still can't believe you hit something that hot, Jimmy!"

Yeah, I love this show. Garret Dillahunt is so great in this. That Al Roker stuff just cracked me up.

That flashback was hilarious. It being a lie made it even funnier. I lost it when it cut back to Jimmy and he was having a terrible allergic reaction.

That baby is too cute. The scenes with Burt talking to Hope are so funny.

"Dear Princess Beyonce. That's what she named you. We changed it, but I thought it was spunky."

"I"m sorry, but when you turned 13 you barely hugged me anymore. Then that damned high-five came along. I had to do whatever I could to feel your chest against mine."

Man, I lost it when they edited it to show Hope's mom slamming Osama Bin Laden into the toilet.

And Burt again at the end with "Man Jimmy, I still can't believe you hit that."

I love this show. Definitely the best new show of the season and my favourite comedy of the 2010-2011 season thus far.

Man, I love this show. Editing a hula hoop on Lucy when she's dancing and editing Bin Laden's face onto her cellmate when she was stuffing her face in the toilet had me rolling.

The baby that plays Hope is adorable.

After seeing him play psychos in so many roles, it's hilarious seeing him in a sitcom. He's great.

Yeah. My wife cracks up the instant he's on screen just looking dumb for this very reason. Anything he says is gold just because of his previous acting work.

Both episodes were great. I liked Family Secret little more. I loved the quotes about Al Roker and Virginia telling the "story" of what happened to her mom.

Sabrina's real cute. I love how at the end of Happy Halloween they sort of made you think something was going to happen with her - either she was going to realize she kissed Jimmy and sort of freak out about it or was going to smile and say Jimmy's name in her sleep - but instead they went with her throwing up. Totally caught me off guard and I'm glad they didn't go for one of the two obvious endings.

Love this show. Dear god, there was so much that was funny tonight.

That Prison video was HOT and funny...I loved Burt's reaction to the Preggo Lesbo Sexy Dancing(I agree 100% Burt) and his "I can't believe you hit that" comment.

Dillahunt KILLS in this show. I think the Halloween episode should get him the Emmy.

I loved him in the grocery store eating the star fruit and chugging the allergy medicine to combat his reaction, and her comment about it.

Yeah I love how Sabrina, who was already a bit of a rebel/troublemaker, has fallen in with the family. Nothing from them really shocks her anymore.

I wouldn't have guessed him for doing comedy, but he's awesome in the show.

The Halloween episode was good, but the second one was top notch. The Al Roker doll scene was hilarious.

I meant the second one should win him his Emmy, not the Halloween one, which was still a great episode.


I really liked seeing the homage to Randy's dancing, too bad it was not Young MC though.

Dillahunt and Plimpton have shined on this show since the beginning. I think both are Emmy worthy but I have feeling they would get snubbed for nominations.

This is one of the few shows I actually go back and watch a second time around because there's so much going on and you just miss things. Just finished the Halloween episode and noticed someone pulling a coat out from under Sabrina, causing her to fall off the bed and Burt making out with the wolf hand puppet.

Maw Maw's takedown over her candy = WIN.

Also, the family tree with a bee for Louise's picture! LOL!
