Yeah, that's the only reason Outsourced has higher numbers is because of the Office lead in.

Community had higher numbers when it was in Outsourced time slot early last season, but it moved to 8pm so 30 Rock could take 9:30 slot in November.

Last 2 episodes have been outstanding. The Kentucky Fried space episode was on par with the Modern Warfare. Also glad to see Abed return as a main character last week.

Yeah, but it was awesome that he delivered a baby the week that he was "missing".

My wife loved the Modern Warfare episode. Perhaps yours is defective?

I liked the ABBA / voice memo thing:

“Note to self: Get oil changed. Check Netflix for that movie where Greg Kinnear is a ghost ... no an angel. And something called Human Cent...."

The post-credit voice mail also had me rolling.

What a weird episode. My least favorite so far.

I did like Abed's line to Troy: "Be the first black man to survive to the end."
