The storyline was teetering between a four and a five, but you know what sealed the deal? The white Charles, the blond Rosa, and that pink pant suit — pure perfection! // "We might as well start hiding razor blades under our tongues." "Here. You can have one of mine. " / "You can give the place to whoever you want. I don't care. Actually, I do care. Don't give it to Hitchcock."

It seems that towards the end of the season, the series is picking up momentum again. // "Okay, I should be back in an hour. If my desk phone rings, just ignore it. I don't answer it anyway. "

The episode had me chuckling most of the way through. I didn't quite give it that fifth star because, let's face it, the creators have set the bar pretty high already. But hey, it kept me entertained. // "There's little pools of water on pizza." "That's grease, Jake." "Well, it's wet, isn't it?" / "She's been buried alive three times. I've only been buried alive once." / "You shut your mouth when I'm talking to you. !"

How can the creators of a TV series produce a boring eighteenth episode just to have the next episode be excellent? It really ticks me off. I was hooked from start to finish this time around. // "So you really didn't learn anything?" "No, but I hope you did. Can't school Gina. Gina schools you."

Well, this episode definitely landed my lowest rating for the series. The usual lightness and humor seemed to vanish, and those twenty minutes felt like an eternity of pure boredom. Exams and sourdough. If it hadn't been for those trains... // "This'll be fun!" - "I hope not. It's trains." / "Oh, God, it really does smell bad. My eyes hurt."

Looks like the creators shamelessly borrowed a page from The Hangover. I mean, it didn't bother me too much, but what really got to me was the lack of fun during the conference trip — I was hoping for a lot more laughs.// "Guys, I was just talking to that amazing woman and I blacked out. Did I get her number?"

I've never been a big fan of kids in movies and TV shows, but you know what? This episode actually won me over. Maybe it's because I couldn't help but chuckle at both of the volunteers. Plus, I gotta give props for tackling the issue of racial segregation in such an entertaining and humorous way — it's not something you see every day! // "Well, if you guys have any other questions, we're here for you." - "What's an orgasm?"

Episode fifteen wasn't as bad as some of the earlier ones, but it didn't exactly have me doubling over with laughter either. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out where all the humor went, especially since it's usually a staple in most of the scripts. Honestly, the fourth season might be the weakest link so far.// "I was just trying to include someone from outside the inner circle." - "There's an inner circle?" / "Thanks for the heroin, hunky Jesus." / "He does what is right and doesn't act selfishly. You're responsible for that!"

Improvement is finally on the horizon! And let me tell you, it caught me by surprise in the best way possible. I was pleasantly surprised by the "on-site" investigation this time around. And a big shoutout to Nathan Fillion for really bringing it — his performance made all the difference. // "One more question. Those donuts, are they..." - "They're all free." - "Okay, great." / "From now on, the only black male I want anything to do with is you."

I've mentioned before how much I enjoy holiday episodes, but I gotta say, Doug Judy's annual appearances don't quite feel like a holiday to me. Still, the twelfth episode kept the story going strong, both in terms of plot and quality. // "Damn, Rosa! How did you do that?" "I have a dark past." / "Oh, it's just my former lover." "Hello, sister." / "Gertie!"
