Another winning episode. This show is really finding its stride in the second half of the season. Lots of good bits, but one of my favorites was Peralta describing himself as the "angel of love" like a cheesy chick flick and asking Santiago "You'd see that movie, wouldn't you?" and she nods yes

He was Canadian, so he said was probably his fault he got robbed and apologized for wasting my time.
Oh Canada. Truly Odie to America's Garfield.

I'm not one to get annoyed with cliche sitcom plots. It's almost always about the jokes but it can get annoying if it's too obvious. I thought I had this episode pegged from the moment Peralta brought up the idea of a double date. I thought for sure the blind date would turn out to be hot, Peralta would ignore Boyle and end up with both guys not getting the girl. So I was pleasantly surprised when they didn't go that route and instead had Peralta stay loyal to Boyle and rude to his date. Made way for some unique jokes.

This show is great. I don't know how ratings are but FOX seems to be trying to promote it. So I'm hoping this will be around for awhile.

I'm kind of sorry to see Boyle hook up with Marilu Henner. I was enjoying his bumbling attempts at wooing Rosa. That plot was cut way too short.

Ratings are absolutely abysmal. I hope it sticks around, it's one of my two favorite shows of the fall/spring season.

I'm pretty sure they're not done with Boyle and Rosa. We certainly didn't see Rosa's reaction to Boyle getting engaged in this episode.

I loved Holt's gravitas.

Really? That's too bad. I bet if it were a CBS sitcom with puns a studio audience, it would get huge numbers... At least Fox is giving it more of chance than is typical for them.

The ratings are fine for renewal, especially combined with the Golden Globes win. I'm surprised they decided to air new episodes of New Girl and Brooklyn this week. Idol takes over next week.

So you wanted them to hook up sometime in the first season, get married in the second, have a kid in the third, another kid in the fourth, split up in the fifth, and eventually get back together in the sixth and final season?

I think they just need to drop the Boyle/Rosa idea. I don't see them ever working together. Sometimes things like that just need to be forgotten, like Leslie and Brandwowitz or whatever his name was on Parks & Rec.

"We're both Carries!"

It scores on average a 1.4 to 1.5 with around 3m viewers, with this weeks 1.2 being its low. That isn't generally considered renewal territory, though I'm sure it gets a DVR boost. These days a 2.0 is a lock for renewal (unless it's on CBS) for a sitcom, below that is bubble territory (just a few years ago, dropping below a 2.0 was instant death).

PhantomStranger

This is the type of comedy that will likely do well once it has some exposure in streaming repeats. Fox needs to build its audience slowly. Years ago, shows didn't need to be immediate successes.

While I'm not a big fan of the stunt, some choice guest stars would probably help promote the show.

Groucho

Maybe Lord & Miller could get Tatum & Hill to do a "21 Jump Street" crossover.

Charlie Goose

No, I was thinking it would be a running gag at least into next season, and then she softens and starts seeing his good qualities. And then pass the tissues and cue the romantic music.

madcougar

It's not like that still can't happen.
