I thought it was really bad. Tired as frick, want to go to bed. Will have no problem doing so on account of it being such a disappointment.

Not as funny as I had hoped, but they laid the groundwork for some interesting stuff the rest of the season. I plan on rewatching this tomorrow (sober, maeby).

First episode was pretty good not great, but much like with the first season, I think it will only get better as it is allowed to build more and more upon itself and tie different story lines together. Still haven't seen much of Gob and any Tobias, so there are guaranteed laughs ahead.

I think each character will have a reason as to why they have to miss Lucille's trial.

easily the worst episode of the entire series (so far, i havent watched past it yet).

the chemistry is really off. worse than i was prepared for.

The chemistry is off because I think a lot of it was filmed at different times, as is evidenced by the fact that you rarely see any face to face convos and always see the back of someone's head during conversations. Having said that, I still enjoyed it. Like having an old friend back.

Finally getting to watch it

1) the Seth Rogan cameo threw me off at first. The first 10 minutes are pure shock at what im looking at


2) Workaholics guys

3) I don't get the hate for this episode. it started off slow, but the show has to build something for it to work and that's what its doing

The beginning was confusion but by the end I was laughing and it felt like AD was back

i thought it was ok. Im not sure I'm going to like the focus on characters each episode

It works best when it jumps around to all the characters more, I got bored with so much Michael Bluth

But it wasn't "awful" so I have hope

Yeah, it doesn't seem to work with the new format. It's like watching a Seinfeld episode that focused just on Elaine. It doesn't work without everyone else's story intertwined.

This is terrible so far but I'll hold out some hope that it'll get better.

It was definitely different. I was cracking up during the "Survivor" scene where he read the names.

I liked it, but I am easy to please. I thought it was a great transition from the Fox episodes.
