Loved the part when Sabrina and Virginia's screaming spooked the spiders, and the spiders all start crawling toward Jimmy's head.

Another solid outing, even if it didn't come close to the awesomeness of last week's IMPROVment episode.
"You could only squeeze that little muscle down there so many times in your life, you don't wanna wear it out in your 20s."
Mawmaw acting out how she lost her virginity; I loved Jimmy's attempt at curing Sabrina's arachnophobia and the entire hospital bedside scene. I thought for sure spiders would be bursting out of Jimmy's cheeks.

Raising Hope always walks a fine line with the balance of gross-witty, but this episode definitely veered way too far into the gross column (which has happened a lot more in this second season than it did in the first year). After last week's brilliant episode, I thought this was a real letdown and one of the most ho hum episodes in the show's entire run.

That whole fart scene in the bedroom had me dying...
Virgina "How many farts have you been holding in?"
Burt "Sounds like seven" jimmy farts again
Burt "Eight?"
Virginia "Jimmy, that's not healthy"
Burt "No that is not healthy. You can only squeeze that little muscle so many times in your life. You don't want to wear it out in your twenties."
I was losing faith in the show but am back after the past two.

LOL'd more in this episode than probably any other sitcom episode this season. Best part was the tarantulas on Jimmy and the gals blood-curdling screams.

One of the best episodes this season. I'm glad because I've felt like they haven't known what to do with Sabrina. By making her as weird as the rest of them and taking their relationship further, it could be great stuff.
