So Hillary Duff is going to be on the show?

I hope this turns out as surprisingly funny as McPhee's episode... and she plays as secondary a role. I fear that you can't keep bringing in bad actress/singers and hitting gold.

It's at risk. It did poorly in its time slot against The Event, DWTS and the CBS comedies, but the article said that it should at least get a couple of weeks until the DVR numbers are out.

Mrs Browncoat would be an exception. She didn't care for Arrested Development. Crazy, right?

Favorite part of last night's episode: Chloroform!

Annie knocking out janitor. Troy freaking out/crying dance. Annie having to knock out the janitor again. Finally Annie bringing it out ready to use on Jeff as he decides to stay at the party (and Troy's reaction to Annie at this moment).

If this show gets cancelled due to poor ratings, I may have to personally go door to door and punch in the face every person who tells me they have not watched it. Funniest program on television.

qft. Also Rob Corddry was a treat and it looks like they set it up for him to be in future episodes.

Troy is really stepping up as a great character in S2 so far.

Senor Chang popping and locking.

Community is going to get cancelled, isn't it?

Seriously, Gray's and $#!+ My Dad Says are at the top of the Thursday night rankings? I hate my fellow men sometimes.
