Cuz the flaws of the leads (lies and name calling) do hurt those around them.bearythebear said:Good episode. You could make easy comparisons to Happy Endings, but I feel like this has a kinda dark edge to it. Dunno if anyone else noticed it.
10/21/2014 (09:01PM - 09:30PM) (Tuesday) : JAKE SETTLES INTO ANNIE'S APARTMENT WHILE GIL RELOCATES TO AN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET RESTAURANT - Jake (Ken Marino) moves into Annie's (Casey Wilson) apartment and she begins to feel the pinch of having to share her space with someone. She confesses her claustrophobia to her dads Kevin 1 (Tim Meadows) and Kevin 2 (Dan Bucatinsky) but her stress continues to mount. Meanwhile, Gil (John Gemberling) discovers an all-you-can-eat buffet where he can eat for one low price all day - as long as he never leaves the restaurant. Sarah Wright Olsen and Tymberlee Hill also star.
I thought this aired on Thursdays...
Don't love Gil, but pretty good episode.
That tag though. And Kay in general. Tinder is for men and whores!
You guys.Oh nice, Stumpokapow is on this.
Tan Shen, 26, from Chengdu in China's southwest Sichuan Province, was recently dumped. And as one does, she decided she needed some comfort food. But not just any comfort food: Only the blend of 11 secret herbs and spices that makes Colonel Sanders's fried chicken the choice of discerning gourmands worldwide would soothe her pain. (Unless there's a Popeye's available?)
Tan stopped off at a KFC, located near at a train station right by her house, but decided to really double down***: She phoned in sick from work and stayed a whole week at the KFC.
"I hadn't planned on staying there long, I just wanted some chicken wings," Tan said, according to Yahoo. "But once I got in there and started eating I decided I needed time to think. I didn't want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him. So I stayed."
I still enjoyed it. Had some good laughs and I am enjoying more screentime for the supporting cast. Not so much of Gil though, but Kevins and the two girls are enjoyable to me.
I'm curious how far they might do pair-offs ala Happy Endings did; obviously not the same case but there are the five there they could play with (I don't know if the two Kevins would ever get split except amongst Annie and Jake though).Kay is winning, because she seems at this point to be the most well-realized secondary character. She needs to be paired with Gil for a few episodes so you can maybe try to mine humor from that? That's what I would do.

The best thing to come out of this episode is the fact that the 24-hours-at-a-buffet thing actually more or less just played out in real life:

It will be cancelled in 3 seasons
2 seasons if its actually any good
(Also, this was much better than last week's)
"What does that mean?"
" die white devil."
I never really complained about the emotional stories being played out, I do remember they did it a few times in Happy Endings and they worked out pretty well."What does that mean?"
" die white devil."
Still a lot of kinks -- I don't know if I necessarily care about these emotional stories tracking (and I certainly don't care about Gil and his wife), so I'd rather just see them riff. But that first scene in Jake and Anne's apartment was classic Happy Endings goodness. I just wish someone or whoever would let the show be that.

Were these episodes filmed before the show was picked up by a broadcast network or something (I know nothing about this stuff)? It was kind of ridiculous in last night's episode; there were a handful of bleeps in the last one, too. I don't know why, but I find it annoying and kind of lazy. It can be hilarious when a network show throws in a rare f-bomb (Seinfeld and 30 Rock come to mind), but if it's happening every episode, it just seems forced.This is bad. Didn't laugh once, only a couple of mild smiles. They even dropped 'Home' as the title song. Oh, also was weird how much the ep needed censoring, but please point me to the uncensored Dana in the outfit.
Yikes, Halloween episode really dove in quality.
