Synopsis for episode 1:

Spoiler:
Brad is strangely resistant to Jane's suggestion that they befriend a worldly couple. Meanwhile, things start disappearing from Dave and Max's apartment, and Alex holds the surprising answer to the mystery. And Alex takes an interest in an artist she meets at Dave and Max's place.


Synopsis for episode 2:

Spoiler:
Despite the gang's efforts to get Max to reveal his sexual persuasion to his visiting parents, he once again recruits a lady friend to pose as his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Penny may have met the perfect guy, but a furor is raised when her friends discover his ignominious last name.


Moves to 10pm starting tonight. IIRC, Modern Family repeats will air at 10:30pm starting next week.

Surprisingly they are airing 2 episodes again tonight

Episodes 3 and 4 of 13

I liked the line to Elisha Cuthbert about her dad being in CTU and having only 24 hours...

The black/white couple is terrible. It doesn't help that there isn't a single masculine character on the show.

Jane is f'ing hot and Penny isn't half bad either. Other then Cuthbert I've never seen the other 2 in anything else.

Isn't Penny from SNL?

Eliza Coupe ("Jane") was on the last two seasons of "Scrubs".

24 references? Can't wait to watch!

Why are they rushing through this show, giving 2 episodes a week?

The cougar reference was hilarious.

I must have missed the other 24 reference. I get a lot of laughs from this show, so maybe that's why I missed it! After the cougar reference, I couldn't hear about 30 seconds worth of dialogue because I was laughing so hard.

They must have seen me on here saying the mountain lion should get a cameo. Thanks, guys, you do care!

The other reference was right after it when Penny said 'maybe if you had a dad that was running a counter-terrorism unit in a 24-hour period' or something to that effect. I love that they know fans of 24 and Cuthbert are tuning in.

@Timber: Jane (Eliza Coupe) was on Scrubs when the show moved to ABC. Penny (Casey Wilson) is a former SNL cast member.

And she was awesome on SNL too. It was rumored that she got fired because they thought she was too fat, although I don't think it's ever been confirmed as to being the true reason or only rumor. If it's true then they're fucking idiots. If it's rumor, then whatever reason they used they're still fucking idiots.

Which is a good place to share this for those that haven't ever seen...cause it's awesome!

Zachary Knighton (Dave) was in FlashForward last season. I thought I recall you watched that? He played the doctor dying of cancer who was obsessed with some Japanese chick in his vision.

You're right, I do remember him from FF.

These 2 episodes were great. I was actually laughing so much that I was crying too.

Besides Brad and Jane being a totally unbelievable couple, I dig the chemistry with the rest of the cast. I absolutely love Casey Wilson. She's a real cutie ans Penny is hysterical.

at the CTU and 24 jokes in the 1st episode.

at Penny's date with "Douglas Hitler"

when Max said that Dave was gay and his parents ordered him a Daiquiri.

Damon Wayons Jr is almost a clone of his father. I loved his Arsenio Hall costume in the 1st episode. He looked like his Uncle Keenan when he did Arsenio jokes back in the day on In Living Color.

Oh and I agree that Eliza Coupe is effing hot. Love her sexy long legs. She's actually better when they date pair her in Wayons in scenes together.

When they first showed him in the costume I thought he was going Damon Wayons because he looked exactly like him.

I forgot why the No Jewish image was in the diary. I rewatched that scene and the gay guy told Cuthbert no Jewish stuff when she is the beard. I totally forgot about that! hahaha

The main reason why I rewatched that scene was because of Cuthbert's quote: "Have fun with Hitler tonight. Make sure he doesn't get in your panzer. Whaaaat? BOOM!"

HAHA! Loved that part.

These two episodes were even better than the first two. However, I'm still not sure about bringing in all these ancillary characters while we're still trying to get to know the main cast. The parents are okay (loved seeing Larry from Dharma again) and but the married couple into swinging was forced.

It was also nice getting another Scrubs alum (Drew) in there with the attic squatter.

Anyone else notice that Fred Savage directed the first episode(of these two)? Kinda cool.

The third episode was okay. The fourth episode was flat out fantastic. The Hitler stuff had me laughing so goddamned hard.

Got caught up on the past four shows this last week. You could see them getting better and the Hitler episode has been the best of the bunch. Funny stuff.

I thought last night's episode was pretty funny too.
