Nothing to see here. Move along.

It was great. I think this is one of those shows that doesn't need much discussion.

I could also be wrong and people just don't know it's back on.

They were all 'One-Hit Wonders' from the 90s.

This episode was great, and I had actually forgotten the show was back. Good thing other people remind me of these things.

Makin' me feel old :corsair: Although I didn't listen to too much alternative music in high school, I had friends that did and I recognize all of those bands. Must've been MTV, too (you know, when they actually dealt with music). They even got Dan Wilson of Semisonic to step into the recording booth to say "Hey, man, we're trying to play Closing Time" before his head exploded.

I think the '90s band B-plot was a tie-in to the A-plot since there was a lot of witch-related media in the '90s (Sabrina, Charmed, Practical Magic, Blair Witch, Hocus Pocus, etc.) and The Craft, which is what the majority of the plot was based on. Really loved this episode. Felt like a classic episode, to be honest.

Better Than Ezra is not a One-Hit Wonder band. They just had a successful tour and have had a huge hit with 09's "Juicy".

So many good lines from this past episode. The show has been excellent since the move to TBS.

I wanted to agree with everyone in that this episode was great! The whole Neverending Story routine with the book was so fun. Also, that silly throwaway gag with Franny's funnel cakes had me laughing for no good reason. Aaaand it was a Steve episode, always a pleasure!

That was a really great episode. I liked that there were two (three?) other sets of geeks/nerds but apparently Steve & Co are worse than them.

Stacy and her kids are just super happy that their abusive husband/stepfather is dead and so they walk away from the restaurant smiling as Katy Perry plays triumphantly in the background. Like Roger says, this is a whole new chapter for them.

I did like how they managed to have "Leno" on without ever actually having to do a voice for him.

Although for some reason they actually got LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell for the NCIS LA joke.
