Agreed. I thought this episode was pretty weak.

They should just write Winston off the show. We're in season 3 and they still don't know how to write the character. Maybe the actor just doesn't have comedy skills.

I love how that even the show seems to think Winston has nothing going on, but his little moments I found to be the best.

I thought this episode was a bit weak too. I didn't really laugh at the Nick/Jess hijinks like I usually do. I actually like Winston with the cat, but hope they don't go too far with it.

I found Winston and the cat to be the best parts of this episode.

The Nick/Jess stuff is just cliched sitcom crap.

Can they make him any more oblivious? No wonder he has no relationship. Thought this was very weak. Not liking the whole Jess with Nick and mean Schmidt dynamic.

I can't believe how some of us are thinking that the Winston stuff was the best, if you would have asked me this last year I would have said no way. But the whole Jess/Nick thing is not going anywhere..and Schmidt is no longer Schmidt. Dude is just plain mean.

I thought it was a strong episode. Not one of the best of the series, but definitely felt a lot tighter and funnier than any other episode this season, although each episode has had its moments.

I think clichéd sitcom crap would have been to keep Jess and Nick apart for as long as possible for fear it would ruin the show, which is how most sitcoms and dramas have done this kind of thing in the past.

No idea, but I think the joke would have worked better if they had implied it was one unspeakably horrible act. Having it be some multi-part series of actions made it unrealistically silly and undercut the joke, imo.

It was nice to see a cameo from the attractive half of Garfunkel & Oates for a change.

Loved the ending...

Nick: It's sound proof
Jess: "Yells"
Wiston: immidiately enters room "I heard you yell, Jess... everything ok?". lol

I hope they dont drag this Schmidt thing out much longer either. He was a ladies man, or at least he thought so... get back to that schmidt asap! Oh, and more of that co-worker. =)

Full frontal. It's like a 5 minute scene where she is just standing there naked the whole time. You can find that particular scene online if you aren't interested in the whole movie.

The addition of the cat looks to be an inspired move. The stuff with Winston was very funny.

Most of the eps this season have been uneven, but I enjoyed last week's a lot. This week was a real letdown in my opinion.
