I’m loving the dynamic everyone has in the office. I especially love that Joyce’s sister will be helping more.

I was a little disappointed Joyce got up in herself and so boorish, but I liked that she got over herself. The magazine in the end worked because she relied on the team and that's important.

It's great casting (same with the councilwoman), and it's great that she's 'just' a housewife but really chill about everything. 

It's not overt, not subtle, but I like Doug is just giving Joyce the latitude to just go for it.

This show is so fun.  I am enjoying it so much and I really love all the characters.  But this episode made me love Joyce's sister so much.  I always liked the actress, Lennon Parham who plays Shelly, especially her show 'Playing House' (I loved that show).
