Was the cop the guy from Parks and Rec? The sleezy guy who sent his dick pics to everyone in the Parks department?

Oh god it is! I'm even more ashamed because the past couple years he was in a a bunch of movies in a row. My friend and I kept recognizing him. Drag Me To Hell, Avatar, Inception.
Recognize the woman from Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries (shutup) and Supernatural. I believe she was born in the US, but moved to the UK at a young age.

OMG Michael Cane replaced Michael Cera as the intercom guy! Amazing!
I really liked the episode overall, but I didn't feel like the cast gelled very well together.

It was Peter Serafinowicz's amazing Michael Caine impression, actually! The mime kind of looked like Ben Stiller, and appeared to be uncredited, though I'm terrible with character names so I probably just missed who that was.

I knew it sounded like him at least!
Yes. It was a perfectly executed anti-joke. Just long enough of a pause and then the opposite of a punchline. It's amazing.
Though I have to confess this isn't the first time I've found reflexive peanut brittle jokes funny

I heard him do this bit just a month ago! It was my first time hearing that.
But I thought you were going to reference Community here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOlKAwlccaE
Hahaha I had actually forgotten about that.
More proof that peanut brittle jokes are the backbone of modern comedy.

Pretty fun episode. I liked the peanut brittle joke too, as well as the lesbian bar stuff. "I want some fish tacos!"

That was a really fun episode. Lola's skeleton disguise was brilliant and I really liked the fight sequence between Sy and his daughter.

Reassure me that I haven't gone insane: I watched the 'year in the life' episode of this show last week, yet the Childrens Hospital Facebook page, and Wikipedia, say the episode is first airing tonight. Did Adult Swim release it online last week or something?
Year in the Life was classic. PBH as Dr. Joe
, Cat calling him daddy, Glenn having to choose between cake pops and reporting a criminal, Dory/Blake. And maybe my favorite part: the flight attendants night plans. "My husband and I are opening up a special bottle of shiraz and then I'm gonna let him put it up my butt." "And my guy's making his famous halloween dinner and then we're gonna take a romantic bubble bath, and I'm gonna let him put it up my butt." And then the last attendant was Erica Oyama, Ken Marino's hilarious wife.
Attention Staff was as good. Jon Hamm returns, sort of, except as Arthur Childrens instead of Derrick Childrens. Owen's been able to see ghosts ever since he spent that summer with his uncle and slept in the same bed as him. Jesus was that part of it all good. And the Sal stuff was fun to address. Kinda great to attack it from the found footage/Ghost Hunters angle, but it got REALLY good when you actually saw Sal. And that guy who was just A Friend. :lol

I think [as] screwed up a bit, cause last week The Greatest Event in Television History aired in the place of Childrens. So, I believe last night Year in the Life was broadcast for the first time. But apparently it's been on itunes since last week, and Attention Staff is on itunes now too. Despite that I don't think Attention Staff has aired yet.

"Attention staff: The current threat level is burnt sienna. That is all."
That scene was great! And I didn't know that was Marino's wife. She's pretty funny.

She's written a bunch of Childrens episodes and co-wrote all of Burning Love with Marino. Together they're like...the indie Will Arnett/Amy Poehler

What about David Wain (wrote the ep, exec producer, frequent director) and Zandy Hartig (Nurse Dori)?
Also, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally (too successful to be indie, I guess) are still married.
Thank you for mentioning Burning Love, I had no idea this existed. I love it so far, 5 eps in, my highlight has to be the suction line during the mechanical bull segment :lol
hah well I never suggested that there weren't other funny couples out there. Though I guess I'd not thought about how many are ON Childrens, which is weird
it was way overlooked, and it stays great throughout

Also Kulap Vilaysack and Scott Aukerman!
Bell should marry Huebel just to complete it all
because there's really nowhere else to put it: http://wearemoviegeeks.com/2012/10/burning-love-to-return-for-two-more-seasons-on-yahoo-screen/ Burning Love to get 2 more seasons!

I thought "Attention Staff" was only mildly amusing, but I did enjoy seeing Jon Hamm and Michael Cera.
Yesssss!
I was really hoping they would do a Bachelorette spoof, and here it is! Season 3 sounds really fun too.

downloaded and watched the season finale:
eh.
Simply wasn't that funny though, and it's such a weird episode for a finale. Attention Staff and A Year in the Life both felt big and special, having them last instead of this episode would have been better. Oh well.
oh, and my favorite gag is actually a really small one:
eh.
Lola doing coke and being a lawyer were pretty great. Blake wearing a diaper: also great. I did enjoy Reginald Veljohnson and Nate Corddry.
oh, and my favorite gag is actually a really small one:
kathryn hahn's character starts with four pillows on one side of the room. picks up two, moves them to the other side. goes back, grabs the other two, moves them to the other side. picks up all four, puts them down right where they started. felt like a sly dig at how legal shows always have motion despite being empty talking so often.

30 Rock did a good version of this when Lutz was being interviewed in a mock murder investigation (or something to that effect)
Okay yeah now that I've gotten away from the finale more: really forgettable. A Year in the Life and Attention Staff are episodes that I think of as exemplary of why CH is so amazing. They're hallmarks. Childrens Lawspital is a footnote that won't stick.
Hah really? I've completely forgotten that. I watched seasons 1-4 of 30 Rock in such a short time span, I should rewatch some of it.

This show, you guys, this fucking show. So goddamn hilarious.

I gotta disagree. Childrens Lawspital was fantastic. (though it have a sort of "Community got there first" feel since CH also decided to do a full-on L&O parody and Community's hit more of the L&O notes.)
Even little stuff like Rob Corddry's character calling Nate Corddry's character 'bro' was funny.

What was up with the ending of "Wisedocs"? I'm assuming that it was a spoof of some movie, but I don't know which one.
The entire episode was a parody of Goodfellas.

Hunky Nostradamus
Ah, okay. Thanks. I haven't seen Goodfellas yet.

I wonder what's gonna happen with Blake Downs. On one hand, he's the iconic character of CH, and it's Rob Corddry's show. On the other hand, Corddry reportedly hates having to wear the clown makeup. On the other other hand, come on, they shoot for a few months (at most) out of the year.

Oh yeah, I forgot that they're making Newsreaders into its own show. Awesome. Hopefully they'll announce the premiere date soon.
Perfect!
They advertised the date after Childrens this week actually. Think it was January 16th?
