I don't disagree (well, you might be a bit harsh, but in the right direction), and was thinking the same thing when I was watching it this morning. After about 6 episodes of using her more judiciously, they decided to gratuitously throw her into almost everything last night. I liked the kind of absurdist skits at the end (Funeral and Goodnight Saigon) and even if they did not work completely I would rather seem them fail in this direction than in some of the other things they try to do. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
