Ron Swanson...... glad to have you back

Andy petting the stuffed animal, I'll say no more.

Really good episode. Anyone else catch the West Wing reference in Brad Whitford's office?

This episode was ok, i remember the show being a lot funnier in season 2 compared to now

I thought this was a really good effort, one of the strongest of the season.

For the most part I liked this, but it didn't leave me feeling as satisfied as others eps have. I'll be happy when all of this election stuff is over. (I mean I won't, because end of the season is sad, but I'll be happy for next season and new plotlines).


Still hate Tom and Ann so much that the open just made me mad.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good way to put this- but I feel like the budget stuff landed in a weird spot where it was normal enough that it forced me to take it seriously and think it was too unrealistic. That's a silly thing to think about this show, which is making no attempt to be realistic- but I think they would have been better served with something slightly more out there.

Ron and Chris was fantastic.

Tom saying "puppy" the way he did in the bit with Ron in an earlier ep was great- but I'd be super OK if I never had to hear a grown man use baby talk ever again. Here it just made me uncomfortable.

Not the funniest episode, but liked it a lot nonetheless. So glad it's back on.

Ok with the opening, as long as i don't have to see them together, Tom & Ann dont bother me.

Tom saying "puhhhpaayyy" like 20 times at the end of the episode made me want to kill someone.

I must have missed Andy petting a fluffed animal, but imagining him "trying to make the dogs play poker", just that image, made me laugh like hell.

Ron, always good stuff.

Ahhhhh. I missed this show. That was great. The long break probably made me like it more then it deserved, but that's fine.

Ron was outstanding throughout. I even liked Chris for the entire ep.

Poor, poor, Josh Lyman. Granted it's a guest spot on a great show, but is this all he can get anymore? Very short lived series and random spots on primetime?

DC11GTR,

He's in "The Cabin in the Woods" which is getting quite a bit of attention right now.

Good. Hate seeming alumni from my favorite shows not getting work.

Josh Lyman got puffy

Ron @ the meditation place cracked me up. Standing on the pillow LOL

I don't know that "all he can get" is really the right way to put it. He's had good roles, they've just been on show that didn't do well- but those shows were in theory somewhat big deals.

Great episode. I've watched through the whole series again in the last few weeks and this season has been really strong. Also, April is one of my favorite characters on rewatch.

Loved the cold open.

Very true. I just wanna see another Josh'like role from him.
