This was the first episode in a while that felt completely flat.

The Donna-Ron stuff was OK, but it's been done with Ron and [Insert Any Other Female P&R Character].

Are we to assume Ron is Breaking Bad fan.

I got a decent amount of laughs out of this one.

No Tom in this episode.

Not a good sign when you have 2 different writers for the episode but still ok for some chuckles.

Hard to believe they will have the series finale in April when almost every other show ends in May.

Why would you erase the signatures?

It's season finale, not series. It'll be back for a 7th season.

I was waiting for the doctor to tell them they were having twins, triplets or even more kids. Pulled right out of the sitcom template handbook. Also out of the handbook, a character who's horribly bad at keeping a secret - I think every sitcom has one of those.

the tall, yelling guy is really starting to bother me. and O'Heir's Larry is so subtle in his funny that i love him to pieces. though Chris Pratt's Andy is comedy gold. when he camoed himself that was solid!

I loved Andy spilling the beans on his neighbor being in witness protection then collapsing.
