This website graphs tv user ratings, seems like they generally match opinions in this thread: http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/tt0472954 For whatever that's worth. Bust Rodd posted:I also don't think the waitress is funny in any scene, she is the worst part of the show and literally never gets a laugh out of me. She would never have made it past season 5 without being Charlie Day's wife. Whaaaaaaaat. She's essential. Cojawfee posted:What's boring about it? Before I also said it was boring, but I can't remember enough about it to remember why (because I was so bored). I'm going to rewatch the few episodes I disliked, though, so we'll see.

Can we talk about "The Gang Gets Analyzed" because it's one of the best episodes and never gets mentioned. I've been waiting for someone here to say the word impossible so I could say "Well first of all through god all things are possible so jot that down" drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jan 13, 2016 |

Ok, but what do you expect showing a random episode? Again, the show has been on a long time, they are not going to cater every episode toward attracting new viewers. I just don't see why it's such a problem.

I just don't see why it's such a problem. Not really sure what you are getting at. Analyzed is my favorite episode but I can see how it is not good for new viewers because many of the jokes are based on already knowing the characters.

One season prior, The Gang Gets Trapped is great even if someone's never seen the show before They took the concept of "the gang is trapped in a house and the occupants are home" and made one of the best episodes ever out of it.

I'm going to rewatch the few episodes I disliked, though, so we'll see. This is roughly my opinion about it. I watched it when it aired and found it boring enough to skip on all subsequent rewatches (along with Who Pooped The Bed, the only two I skip). I don't remember why it was boring, maybe it's due for a rewatch.

I find the first time argument to be dumbas hell but you are also assuming the viewer is dumber than farts. Go watch cable at 7am that isn't the news. It's all random out of order episodes of 90s sitcoms. You don't need to know the specific callbacks to understand things.

You see, friend, Sam Malone is a womanizer, so when the bar patrons made a joke about him caring about a woman, they were referencing character development established in Season 1, Episode 2.

Frank's scene in the Gang Gets Analyzed might be the funniest thing ever written and performed. "I opened up to a therapist just once. I was a kid. I got into a fight. The doctor asked me question after question. Got me so scrambled up. Next think you know, I was shanghaied upstate to a nitwit school. You know what a nitwit school is? Yeah. Not just for nuts in the head. Bodies, too. Back then, science was real crude. They stuck us all together. My roommate was a frog kid. You ever see a frog kid? Yeah. The place was windowless. There was a guard every ten feet. All the rooms had drains in the floors so they could hose us down. Got my first kiss there. It was terrible! But not her. She was an angel. Always smiling. That's because she had no lips. But her mouth was still very much in play. Oh! She died two weeks later. She thought she was a space man with a plastic bag for a helmet. Oh! Ahh! Oh, you unzipped me! It's all coming back! It's all coming back! I hate you! It's all coming back, you understand? I don't like it! I don't like to think about it! Oh! It's it's... With a plastic bag for a helmet! Oh! You unzipped me! Oh oh!"

I'm rewatching Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life and holy poo poo, I completely forgot about the Mac and Frank subplot where they try to meet I think the real reason it's rare to find a bad Sunny episode is because most of them have at least 2 plot lines, and the likelihood of both of them being bad is very low. These scenes are hilarious

It only has the one plot line, plus you don't get to see the inner dynamics of the gang since they never split up in the episode. Like, Charlie and Dennis play off of each other much differently than Charlie and Mac. Someone made a post in this thread a while back about how you can see how those dynamics run through the show when you start comparing multiple episodes with the same character pairings.

I think my favorite parts in "gets analyzed" are actually the complete non-sequitur conclusions both Mac and Charlie seem to draw from the therapist's statements, it's completely in-character for Mac to completely make poo poo up and for Charlie to not understand a word she says and just come up with a mishmash of words which he believes summarizes her advice:quote:I'm not crazy. It's just, I think I might have hugged him a little too hard, kind of smothered him a bit, but, um, hey, we'll make an adjustment, uh, to it, and we'll make a tradition out of it. quote:The therapist implied that God wanted me to have bovine hormones and I think she's going to get them for me. There are a few more of those bits and they're all great, particularly Mac attributing his own statement about god to the therapist, that cracks me up every time.
