"Yankovic! He reversed the parody. He 'Normal Al'-ed us!" :lol:

Excellent eps, but I loved the second outing more - one of the better uses of its guest stars this season.

I loved the somewhat dark side of Kenneth popping out momentarily when he revealed to Jack his secret in maintaining a positive facade/outlook on life.

Great episodes, especially the second one. The Weird Al stuff was awesome.

Second episode was fantastic.. I wish they'd dump Kenneth's character though

Not off the show but I wish they'd dial him down. It's a case of them just playing out the character. He was a hit in the first season or two. They realized how popular he was so they featured him more but now his schtick has gotten old. I'd like him a whole lot better if he wasn't such a prominent character. I always liked the writers and Pete a lot, wish they were more featured.

Well... it's not like he was was doing anything else. :)

If Alec hadn't recently lost all that weight, they would have had to get Daniel Baldwin to play Jack.

(I hope you're joking about that being Stephen Baldwin, BTW).

I loved that they got Billy Baldwin to play Stephen Baldwin playing Jack.

Sorry mixed up the brothers, but it has been so long since I had seen Stephen or Billy.

Hell, I didn't even know there was a Billy Baldwin. I thought they had the wacky creationist brother on and was excited that they had a real life Kenneth on the show.

I don't mind him. I'm actually interested in where they might be taking his character after his monologue to Jack about lying to himself to get by and how it's not working any more.

"Do the right thing, Jack.... and Go Red Sox!"

Loved the digs at Julianne Moore's overdone Boston accent: Cynthia Nixon asking Liz if she was overdoing the accent and Liz saying no, that's what people from Boston sound like to her.

And BTW, GO RED SOX!

Billy Baldwin absolutely nailed that.
