Re: Raising Hope -- "Baby Monitor" -- 5/10/11

I love this show so much. Part of the reason this show is so great is because of the colorful cast of supporting characters, who all bring something different to the table. Frank though, has become the breakout supporting character, and delivers some of the biggest laughs:

Frank: "Nobody's done black face on TV for a while."

Frank: "Barney, it shouldn't say 'panic' it should say 'widespread panic.' Nothing sells groceries like impending doom." (I'm paraphrasing the last part)

Barney: "...part of a larger framework."
Frank: Like Al-Qaeda."

Frank: "You wonder why people are rioting in Tunisia? Look no further."

---

Great episode with tons of laughs. The show has been funny the past few weeks, but this was a return to form. All of the video submissions were hilarious, particularly Frank's and Sabrina's. Loved the meddling on Burt's part. It's cool that they left open the possibility for Pressly and Suplee to return for a future feud between Virginia and Joy (I forget her name).

Virginia: "Your husband looks like a skinny version of that fat guy from Mallrats."

---

I'm really glad we got two more My Name Is Earl cameos tonight. It looks like Suplee lost some weight.

That brings us to: Jason Lee (Earl), Ethan Suplee (Randy), Jaime Pressly (Joy), Eddie Steeples (Darnell), Gregg Binkley (Kenny), Juan Pope (Jasper), and Abdul Goznobi (Iqbal). I really hope at some point next season we get Nadine Velazquez (Catalina), Dale Dickey (Patty), and Giovanni Ribisi (Ralph), and anyone else they want to bring back.

Great to see a cameo by Malcolm Barrett as well. Every time I see him in something I miss Better Off Ted.

Anyway this show is so crazy funny I can't stand it.

Also Ethan has definitely lost wait, you can see a noticeable wattle under his chin.(Is that a real word or just an Ally McBealism?)

One more thing did I notice a stack of Hungry Man tv dinners that looked about 1978 on their kitchen table?

I think some people who don't know Ethan Suplee's filmography might think she was referring to Silent Bob in Mallrats since Ethan now has the beard.

That was a great reference..and the face he made after it was said was even better.

Sabrina looked stunning in that 60's dress!

This was one of the best episodes of any TV show ever. This line had me dying and I can't believe no one mentioned it yet!

Whaaaa...!?
Don't get me wrong, it was awesome. But the best ever?
I think there have been many even better episodes this season.

It's ok that your opinion is wrong. If it doesn't match mine, it must be. Q.E.D.

Definitely a slam dunk episode. Acting was on point and I agree with all the references above. Love the cameos and the shout out to one of Smith's most maligned movies. Sabrina should definitely wear less clothing in future episodes. It was a nice surprise
