Lance Reddick as an Ike Turner-esque 60s nightclub owner is my new favorite thing.

What do you guys mean by scaring?

I gave this a shot and it sucked but if it's turned into something disturbing and awesome I might have to steal a few more episodes.

there are some nuggets in there, but I don't know - the show's funner to talk about than to actually watch. The depravity is fun to discuss, and the characters do become almost inhumanly depraved, with some pretty quotable moments, but I don't know, they're just not writing jokes, and it's become extremely predictable once all they're aiming for is depravity.

the double episode from two seasons ago when Mac and Charlie faked their deaths was still one of the funniest things, but that was back then when the show still had punchlines.

I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned. I don't get Hangover for the same reason - it feels like the writers for both comedies have come up with some insane scenarios, but don't really develop them beyond having characters suffer.

On the show, or is the actor one in actuality? 'cause I don't really recall him doing crack for more than an episode or it mattering for more than an episode.

Yeah, well he technically became addicted to crack for that very short period and now can't seem to get it off his mind.

The Good News: "Frank's Brother" will remain the low-point of the season.

Yeah, Frank's Brother was an awful episode I couldn't even finish.

Last one was pretty bad as well. Mostly just screaming and being outrageous.

The snow storm one was quite good.

Basically the more Charlie and Mac, the better. I can't wait for Charlie Day hosting SNL this saturday. That show is beyond awful but I can see him giving a good performance.

I'm sorry, but "Chardee MacDennis" had me laughing so hard that I almost vomited, with two different audiences nonetheless.  I don't really hold this show to too high a degree, because the junkier and more juvenile and more decadent the humor is, the better it feels to indulge in its half hour of insanity.
 In certain cases, though, like when Dee's braid got pulled out in the Jersey Shore episode, and the joke was "LOOK: BLOOD", it wasn't character-based, thus I didn't think it was that funny.  And Frank's whole flashback tried to maintain a sense of story with unfamiliar characters so...heheh I just can't believe that episode exists on a show with such a tight track record.
