Another hilarious episode. My only problem was the Prince. I thought that was just too unrealistic and really threw off the episode. The joke about inbreeding was funny but otherwise just painful to watch.

But Jack was hilarious and Lemon as his date was priceless.

"90's Liz Hurley." :D :p

Awww..... Pee Wee rocks.
I thought the tiny hand/leg thing was hysterically funny.

I did too. I thought it was the funniest thing I've seen on primetime TV in a long while. Talk about brilliant casting.

WELCOME TO MY BIRTHDAY!!!

We've been walking around the office shouting that at each other all day! :up:

Love the tension between Lemon and Jack - it has a Moonlighting-ish quality to it.

"This is my live-in girlfriend, Lemon." :D

All I could see was Mike Meyers, hard to find Pee Wee in all that.

Nice shoutout to Chris Parnell's character after the prince drank the champagne...

"Someone call Dr. Spaceman!"

I guess there are alot of people that utilize his service.

I wonder how they integrated Rachel Dratch into this one.

That was cool seeing Will Forte pop up there... I suppose if they didn't get him, they could have used Rachel Dratch in that role. I didn't notice the Dr. Spaceman reference - that's even funnier.

The scenes with Paul Reubens that they showed on the preview creeped me out (and I like him), and I was really afraid I was going to hate this episode because of it - but in context it was not as bad as I expected. I loved how Jenna was so impressed with the idea of being with a prince that she only flinched for a few minutes before deciding to jump headfirst into her seduction plans.

I also loved the devil/angel conscience juxtaposition over Pete's shoulder - and how Tracy even had a red background behind him!

"What's the difference between your mama and a washing machine?
The washing machine doesn't follow me around for a week after I drop a load in it."


I cannot BELIEVE the censors let that one get past!

Another great show. This show is really moving up the ranks for me. The B-plot with "be like Samson" was so-so (although the visual gag with the red- and white-lit bathroom ventilators was funny), but Jack and Lemon have really amazing chemistry. The best thing is that I really don't think either of them have the hots for each other (so I don't really think it's a Moonlighting thing)--instead each worries the other one is the one with the crush. This seems like a fairly unique long term relationship to me (on TV).

Just about everything about the A-plot was absolutely great: the prince, the page, Isabella Rosellini taking out Lemon (funniest catfight in years!), the Jack/Lemon banter ("I had 'lunch' with Martha Stewart, and also with her daughter!" "Gross!")... all gold. :up: :up: :up:

And, I snorted my drink through my nose at "Someone call Dr. Spaceman!" Although the CC folks butchered the spelling :rolleyes:

Pual Ruebwns was Hilarious - All the in inbreeding LOL... The show is getting smarting and more creative. When Jordan and the Page guy appeared in the vents as good and evil I amost lost it..

I need to see this episode. I saw a commercial for it while I was watching My Name Is Earl, and ended up laughing for 3 minutes straight after seeing Paul Reubins.

The chick that wanted to do the producer was just over the top hot for that kind of situation. I think everyone would understand the producer if he just hit it...

The prince rocked.

OMG! That was completely hysterical! I loved Paul Reubens. I don't know why, but he cracked me up more than most any other show this year.

He had "lunch" with Martha and "dinner" with her daughter, I am assuming the same day. Even more gross.


This show rocks more and more each week. We got behind a few episodes since we have to record it upstairs, but have been knocking it off lately. We'll probably go ahead and watch the next one this weekend and promote it to a watch the night of show.
