    HAHAHA ok this is one of my favorite episode this season. “My Sims family keeps getting murdered” and the Wesley Snipes thing nearly killed me. LOVE IT!

    Matt Says:

    Typing up quotes for this episode will be ridiculous! So many great lines! Jack Burditt and Tracey Wigfield are amazing.

    As is the other Tracy. Trying to seduce Liz lol! And the dancing!

    Liz’s Philly rant vs the other cities was epic. Especially Jack turning off LA.

    Wesley Snipes lol.

    What do you think? One of the best of the season? I say yes!

    Jack Burditt is back! Is he back for good, or this a one time episode? I hope he’s back for a while.

    “You’re Ben and Jerry’s flavour is adulteraisin.” Classic.

    Tracy dancing and attempting to seduce Liz might just be my 2nd fave scene of the season after the jamaican ex-boyfriends.

    Great ep!

    Dan Goose Says:

    Though Anna Howard Shaw Day still ranks as the season’s best, this one is arguably funnier. So many classic quotes. The opening scene was just killer.

    “Let me do a dance for you, my lover.” This has to be Tracy’s finest work since The Source Awards. His dance has to be my favorite scene of any comedy this year.

    Glad Michael Sheen will return for “sweeps”. Love love love the ep.

    Shark Eyes Says:

    This was seriously classic!

    Kathy Geiss playing trumpet, Kenneth’s mysterious age strikes again, Sims reference and Porn For Women! So good!

    Also, I am loving the Michael Sheen storyline! Weseley Snipes?! Awesome. And “back for sweeps”! Could this show be more clever? I think not.

    Sarah Says:

    You’re like hillary… from fresh prince! Lol.

    Porn for women was down right inspired. I’m glad they got Astronaut Mike Dexter!

    and I love Wesley on this show. He’s hilarious.

    The Hillary Clinton joke had me on the floor laughing.

    Jenna: I got a lot of flack after I played the pig that played Babe.

    Shouldn’t that be “after I ATE the pig”…

    Loved the Nascar reference and I really think that Kathy Giess is Susan Boyle in disguise

    Matt Says:

    ^ Yup definately. Thanks Lark I fixed it.

    That by the way was probably one of my favorite one liners from the episode. That and “It’s like a black Barbie doll in Arizona; nobody’s buying it!”

    Maddie Says:

    I’m so glad Wesley is going to be back. I really like him. Even though they are currently incompatible, I think Liz and Wesley make a very cute pair.

    Loved Don Geiss in carbonite.

    Everyone got some great lines in this one. The opening was definitely a classic. I really do enjoy how everyone and everything is pretty much fair game to be made fun of on this show.

    The best episode this season BAR NONE. I’m glad they’re getting their act together. And I’m looking forward to more Michael Sheen!
