I'm pretty sure only Groucho knows that answer to that.

Not quite up to par with the rest of the season, but they've set the bar so high, they're bound to have a few "meh" episodes. Still, most sitcoms wish they were as good as the worst episodes of 30 Rock.
The Andy Richter/memory loss stuff was kinda dumb. I would have figured Cerie would be the one to "cure" him.
Side note: Did the show's budget get cut? Most of the blue/green-screen stuff looked terrible (especially the stuff with the kids at the mission).

Another great ep.

I might be wrong, but I assumed it was sort of like Memento, where after a certain amount of time (next day, maybe?) Mitch "resets" and thinks it's 1985 again, which means he won't remember anything that happened in the present (Cerie's date, being told the actual year). That's the reason why his family are hiding the actual date from him; no need to freak him out on a daily basis if he's not going to remember it the next day.

And what was it Jack said to Mitch when he found out that he thinks Reagan is still president. "You lucky bastard" (or something like that)

Am in NY for a few days, and went to the ASSSCAT 3000 show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It was great, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer) was there along with Amy Poehler, Seth Myers, and several other comedians doing improv.
All for $8. Great fun. Jack looks just like Kenneth of course

Jack seems to almost be Kenneth in real life, and so hearing him drop an f-bomb at the end, somewhat awkwardly was great. Nothing like hot dirty gay midget sex to prompt some quality improv

How bizarre..
the gay midget stuff was awesome. I really enjoyed that comic.

I know... strange, a guy I know pretty well was in that same area as well, he's never been to NY before and lives across the country from me, and we wound up in the same places on the same weekend... and then 2 people on the same forum attended the same show in a tiny venue (150-ish). Weird.
