This episode wasn't bad, really...I thought it was just an okay effort with stabs of brilliance. The notches thing...Troy's face when he discovers that Abed gets all these side adventures and he's left in the cold. The MTV video seemed warmed over from other sitcoms. The 'Scrubs' woman brings not much to the table in my opinion(she, the Secret Service woman)
I agree, as always, that there is something off with not having Shirley do ANYTHING. Not even a funny line attributed to her. The Pop Pop guy is going to get old REALLY fast if he hangs around.
Thumbs up for seeing our old cronies all back. The Lithuanian roommate. Garret. Starburns(next year, what addition? Cravat?) and even Leonard.
I Winger is sporting a new look these days. Is he taking 2nd year Billiards or something?

@Jason Uh... what? Has Troy been white all this time then? The more you know~ =☆ O_o I think it has less to do with race and more to do with the fact that as the 'Mom' and being in the older category of the group, people not only tend to focus less on her (as she also has less face time with love triangles to entangle herself into) and Pierce (when he isn't bringing attention to himself by saying something inappropriate) because if the audience is young they might tend to relate more with the younger characters. I don't know. There might be good or flimsy reasons she hasn't gotten as much face time. But I'm kind of doubting it has anything to do with her race or gender.

Conspiracy?...duh. It's called being born Black (female doesn't help either).
Right in line with the other episodes since the midseason break, outstanding. I haven't even gone back to check the news ticker on Abed's and Troy's political show for all of the great side jokes in there (BTW, there was one that read "Dean Pelton has cancelled paintball this year." Kinda sad, but very funny). It was great how they had the old white guy against the young, recent black guy (re: 2008 election). Also, great reveal by Annie on the Real World video. I thought it was going to be footage of them making out. But again, where's Shirley? How bout some pregnancy progress, or at least a paternity test? Even so, I still laughed out loud the entire time and hope Abed's government love interest comes back.

I absolutely LOVED this episode to death, though I do agree with you about the lack of Shirley. Hopefully they'll feature her more in coming episodes.
Jeff: I've spent almost four years here, growing and changing and making dioramas.

Still, another amazing episode! F-U-N-N-Y!
