I totally love this show and am glad it's starting to find an audience. Another very good episode, the code war stuff was great, especially the perm.

I agree. This show has gotten so much stronger than it was last season. I read an article by Bill Lawrence in EW this week about hoping a show dies so that Cougar Town can air mid-season, and he is pretty blatantly mentioning this one (excited it is strong because Eliza Coupe is on it - she was in the last season of Scrubs). Oddly THIS show fits better with the kind of comedy that Cougar Town features over being paired with Modern Family IMHO. While Modern Family obviously gives it a good lead-in, I'd love it if they were paired together with Cougar Town come spring.

OMG, this episode was rocking. The Work Wife/Husband stuff was really funny.

Damon Wayans Jr reminds me so much of his father. His mannerisms and his comedic timing are almost exactly like his Dad. He was great in this episode.
at Dave cooking in his truck in his underwear. at Dave's perm.I didn't get the Temple Grandin reference until I pulled up an IMDB search and saw there was a movie by that name with Clare Danes. Then it made sense.

^^^ That was her.
Cougar Town stars are making cameos on a bunch of ABC shows.
I saw Ian Gomez on Grey's Anatomy a week or 2 ago. Christa Miller and Courteney Cox were on Private Practice a few weeks ago.

I was laughing so hard when the Wayans character was going on about "On NO you di'nt!", etc. That was great! I just got into this show about 3 weeks ago, after thinking the pilot was ok. Glad I gave it another go

Yup I saw those other cameos. I hope it's mentioned once Cougar Town comes back.

I loved Alex crushing on Max.

Pretty funny episode, I still prefer New Girl to this one (go ahead and give me crap for that if you'd like 
) but the show has definitely improved. The only episode I haven't liked this season is the one with Penny's mom.
The producers seem unsure of what to do with Elisha Cuthbert's character, but she had some good moments this week.

I feel they use her perfectly. (They've spotlighted her business, dating, etc this season thus far.) She was actually one of the things that almost kept me from watching the show initially as I think she's a terrible actress. This show has proven me wrong however. I think she fits in amazing with this type of show and cast.

I dunno, she just seems to be the least developed to me out of the group.

She is one of the reasons I watched the pilot. Well the whole cast, but I do think she is adorable and a fine actress. Love that chin divot.
