Overall a good show. Got to watch the cold open as I fast forward through the endlessly unfunny political cold opens, but that was super cringe and not funny. The only exception was Tina Fey. Seemed like Paul Rudd got more screen time than Short and that was a good thing as Short seems to overact in every scene. Melissa McCarthy makes me laugh every time she is on screen and she was great in the car sketch. Can Che just once not look at the audience for approval after every one of his jokes?

This is really Harrison Ford's season. He has become the star of the show. I really noticed they adjusted his completely grumpy character in season 1 to show more depth and fit in more with the characters around him. Paul also seems to be the only support system for Jimmy as well. All the other characters seem to help and support each other and yet they have nothing but derision and apathy towards Jimmy. I am hoping that there is a bit of an adjustment of the characters towards Jimmy. This show has gone off the rails regarding Louis and Alice and the baffling amount that he has been welcomed into the gang, while Jimmy is melting down and the only one there for him is Paul.

Exact same character she played in Cougar Town. Her character was horrible on Cougar Town as well. Not sure why Lawrence figures people enjoy watching her treat everyone like garbage all the time.

I was enjoying the episode until the end. So Jimmy buys a car for Alice and the thanks last a few hours before she is mad at him because he doesn't want to have anything to do with the guy that killed his wife and Alice's mother. Seems they go out of their way on this show to throw garbage at Jimmy and I really can't stand Alice after all of this. They really turned her into one of those horrible teenagers I can't stand.

Last episode was so good and then it all crashes with this episode. Once more Jimmy is in the background and all the secondary characters are in the front. Why is Brian and Liz still getting their own storylines while Jimmy is now a supporting character without his own storyline? Jimmy, Paul and Gaby are the only 3 characters I am interested in, and their storylines are decent. But I think this show is losing its footing.

Seems to be always overlooked just how horrible Rachel was to Ross's girlfriends. Julie included. She didn't seem to want him most of the time, but didn't want him with anyone else. Her character was so unlikable when she acted like this.

Sadly, this is a part of the great Bill Lawrence shows. The shows are always very good, but he seems to feel the need to absolutely choke viewers with his wife in every one.

I think that at some point Jimmy is going to help him get his life back together. It will probably a way for Jimmy to really heal as well.

she mentioned after sentencing that she would show up every weekend and then he broke up with her, and told her that she reminded him of the worst thing he had ever done.

That was so good. Harrison Ford is incredible. Just a perfect blend of humour and intense emotion. Amazing episode.

It is not. I have seen it in too many other shows like Resident Alien. I hope I am wrong but there is a really crappy trend towards reducing the leads screen time and increasing the secondary characters screen time in a few comedies I have been watching. This show has really good secondary characters, but not seeing that much of Jimmy and Paul this episode is hopefully a one off and not a new trend in this series.

Funny, she played essentially the same character in Cougar Town. Horrible character on that show as well. She seems to always get the work because of being married to the showrunner.

Nothing to see

So far this season is really great. They made Paul more a 3 dimensional character and not just grumpy as he was in last season. All the characters are continuing their great arc from last season with a decent addition of not-Roy Kent so far. I am sure we will find out his story soon enough. The only thing that seems to be starting to bug me is they are turning Jimmy into a punching bag and that isn't sitting with me very well. Even Gaby, my favourite character on the series is still mad that at him, and that is starting to bother me as well.
