Yes, stcroix, I think it did. From what I can recall most ABC sitcoms this wk (at least on Tues & Wed) have been repeats.

Thank you kat!  :)

Did this show take a two week break or something?!  It's not showing up on my amazon list.

Looking at wikipedia, it looks like the next new episode will be Feb. 8th. Is it just me or is it kinda stupid to do another long break 2 episodes after the holiday break?

I think it's stupid,too.  The show is barely watchable anymore and was my go to show just a couple of yrs ago :(   It's like they're daring us to stay with them.

You're welcome, stcroix. :)

Mady, no it's not just you. It is ridiculous they're taking all these breaks.
I think it's because they schedule the season end at a later point than they
have episodes to fill so in order to stretch out the series they add in all
these breaks. It seems like sit-coms (and perhaps most shows) nowadays
are ordering a smaller amount of episodes yet still having the season end
at about the same time they did when they had more eps to offer.

And yeah, I agree, the show has really gone downhill and often I don't watch
live and just catch up with it On Demand.

Can someone explain the title of this episode?  I always get the pun or in-joke, but not this week.

"Sarge" (short for Sargent, which was Jay's rank in the Army) and "Pea" (short for Peanut, maybe) were Jay and Deidre's nicknames for each other in happier times.
