The show has some good energy and the cases are good. The problem I had was the characters. Wyle is great, but they have not defined who the other characters are yet. For me it was like Wyle and a bunch of other actors so far.

There is a consistent blurring of lines on this show. The blurring of the lines makes it hard to believe what is going on in the show. Is Jimmy going to be a friend to NotRoy? A therapist? Can NotRoy talk to any members of Jimmy's family if he becomes a therapist? Can Jimmy blur the lines and be a friend and therapist to the man that killed his wife and "Jimmy" him? The hardest part of this show for me continues to be the seriousness of this subject and how the show deals with it and the fact that for the most part Jimmy is still being treated as a joke by the rest of his crew. Except Paul, which I really appreciated.

This is a Bill Lawrence specialty. Every one of his shows has the exact same type of characters (including his wife, who is in his shows), and the exact type of humour and story lines. This show is almost exactly like Cougar Town.

Regis was a naturally funny person and was able to move with the flow of the show with ease, the way he interviewed and in the first 20 minutes. However, Kelly's only ability to be funny was in response to the host or the guest and she was decent at it. As the host or co-host it has been shown that she is not naturally funny or a good storyteller. She has no flow to her conversations or to basic off the cuff remarks. I think as a result of this difficulty, she invented a character that will say and do anything to entertain and hopefully make the audience laugh. That seems to include lying her face off and making up stories. The stories and heavy scripts are made up to help her due to a huge amount of anxiety she seems to have. This seems to make her unable to have any natural flow to her stories and ability to think on her feet.

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.
