[madislove]

in the "bunifa" sketch, taran's in a hot tob with bunifa and a girl played by jill-m.

[R&S Fan]

Yaay, Kathryn Fiore's on. Unfortunately, Frank Caliendo is missing AGAIN! Man, his chances of returning next season don't look too good.

[snug_a_lug]

you saw it already!!?? i still have 2 hours!!

[AeoceanGlyvxx]

I just saw the episodes...Gay Dating was by far the best sketch....The rest were so-so...Not enough Jill Michelle Melean in this episode. She isn't basil, she's tomato sauce!

[Kai]

Congratulations on your 100th. And what what what is a wife beater?

[madislove]

JAG- this was ok, i liked how everybody was complimenting each other. "you are the best jag officer" haha
Huntresses- Kathryn's return was welcome, and seeing all the ladies in a tight suit was nice. jill in a tight suit would've been nice, but i'll take what i get.
Bunifa- MY FAVORITE SKETCH OF THE NIGHT! THIS WAS SO HILARIOUS! my fav parts are when she hits jill and laughs after she does it, when she breaks her shoes "THESE ARE GUCCIS" LOL "MTV YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR MY $900 GUCCIS" and when she got the time out card. "yall trying to send rosa parks to the back of the tub" awesome sketch!
The Real Deal- Vivica A. Fox worked well with the cast, and i liked how andrew said that "the show could've turned out like the parkers" HAHA
Neighbors- a little odd, but very good
Jenny Jones- My second favorite sketch, this was funny! Debra as the guest was funny, and Mo's voice getting softer! Jill and Kathryn should definately be added!
Gay Dating- a little long, and i'm not gay, and will got a little annoying, but this was good
Encore- so-so, not that good of a sketch to reair, but it was funny, nicole was good
war songs- this was ok

this was an awesome episode. everything in it was good. one of my favorite episode's of the season. the lady cast members shined in this episode, with awesome performances. this was a flawless episode, i'd give it a 9/10. i hope that the season finale is as good.

wife beaters are those white sleeveless undershirts, or tank top undershirts. they are also called 'guinea tees' - and i can say this because i am italian! (half, anyway)

JAG - I knew right away they were gonna use this joke...and it got old fast. Not a good way to start the show.

Glamazon Huntresses - This was funny, too...it was sort of a retread of the old Dolemite jokes (Mo bumps her head on the microphone, etc.), but funnier. It went a little long, but it was still good. All of them were good, and I especially liked Debra's angry voice.

Dismissed w/ Bunifa - The best Bunifa skit in a long time...there were just so many funny elements (the "Gucci" shows that were from Payless, when she falls of the scooter, slapping Jill, etc.) that made it so great. Jill and Taran were also good. Favorite moment: "I'm not white, I'm Latina." "The only thing 'tina' on you are those boobies!"

The Real Deal - This was actually pretty good. The ending was kind of dumb, and it went on a tad too long, but it was still decent. Andrew really made this work when he came up with the names and was acting black, and same when Taran and Kathryn did it. Overall, pretty good.

Neighbors/Sony - An ok effort. It kind of reminds me of that skit where the couple are fighting over dinner and it ends up being a commercial for dishwashing soap. Michael overacted a little bit, though, which is annoying.

Jenny Jones meets Laura Bush - Another great skit. Not only does Mo have the Jenny Jones impression down pat, but the elements of the Bush daughters and the ghetto audience member ("I have a querrstion for Mrs. Bush...") were also hilarious. Thumbs up.

Gay Dating - This was very well done. I have to say, Will redeemed himself for the other crappy skits he's done this season in this. I especially like when he comes home in that leather S&M type outfit. Overall, very good. (P.S. - they have been using that blonde extra A LOT lately...I wonder if there's any particular reason for that?)

Encore - Goodnight Dad - While this was a very funny skit the first time it aired, it wasn't nearly as funny the second time around. Also, if they were going to show one of these again, they should have done the Thanksgiving one, which was much funnier.

War Songs - This was weak. There were no cast members in it (save Debra introducing them) and the songs weren't even funny. The only thing I totally disliked in this episode.

A solid episode, probably the best episode of the season so far (it's about time...1 episode away from the finale). The only complaint I have is that Alex is once again missing, and the featured players imperialize the show. But, Jill, Taran, Kathryn and Bobby were all great, so I can't complain too much. 8/10

[AeoceanGlyvxx]

As much as I don't like Mo...her Jenny Jones impression is accurate....Its a break from her screaming and carrying on.

[madislove]

yes, and how you find mo to be from the distant galaxy of the screaming waspfish.

[R&S Fan]

How come the links to Rob's reviews aren't posted anymore? I'm not talking about for last night's episode since he probably hasn't written the review for that yet, but the links to his reviews for the last few weeks haven't been posted.

[R&S Fan]

The Real Deal sketch was really funny, Vivica was a good guest and it was great to see Andrew have a comedic role. This was almost as good as the Rapper/Executive sketch.

[AeoceanGlyvxx]

Mo is a screaming waspfish....She's very very very very very very very very obnoxious. More so than myself. But the difference is, you people actually listen to her. But when I get my sampler...I might sample her voice and warp it.

And people use them to beat their wives?

[Kai]

Yeah, I see what you mean, Hurricane/Fighting Ron always wears them. But in Australia I think they're just known as muscle-shirts (because they show of your muscles, I guess.)

[Keepsakers]

JAG - I thought this was a bit too easy to joke about. I thought of this same joke a few months ago when I saw a commercial for the show saying "A JAG Off...icer gets caught..." etc. I still laughed at this sketch though, so it wasn't bad. Just too easy.

Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress A.D. - This was pretty funny, although a bit long.

Instead of listing everything, I'll just cut to the chase and say that I pretty much liked everything in the show this past week. Well, except the war songs. Loved the Sony commercial, Bunifa, and seeing Jenny Jones again! The encore was okay, but like most people here, I would've loved to see the Thanksgiving one instead. It was probably too long to air again though.

7 out of 10.
