"I'm a big fan"
"Really of what? Metamucil? Polio? The phonograph?"

Good opening episode. More setup than funny though.

What the fuck is that thing? A vcr?

This show just keeps finding new ways to be so good.

At the end of the episode I audibly said "Ahaha ah, things just get worse and worse." Cue song with almost those exact lyrics, much to our amusement.

This is incredible.

The latest ep is their best episode this season. Insightful, very true, but also goddamn hilarious ("Is your refrigerator running? This is Mike Hunt.") You can go to the Pied Piper website to see the beta and see where Monica's reservation is coming from. I'm not sure this beta is going to go well for them.

Yeah, last week's was maybe the show at its best for pure sitcom-ness, but this week's was definitely the best blend of that with its actual impressive storytelling. I was going to come in here with the Jian Yang quote even before you did.

I think this was the first week I opted to watch it before Thrones, and even though the latter's was maybe even its best of this season for me too, I'm happy I did.

I'm in awe at the scene between Gavin and Action Jack on the tarmac. Masterful comedy writing.

I haven't made a thread for the current season yet, because I want to marathon it, but I just learned that T.J. Miller won't be on the next season. So this show might be dead to me.
