Sometimes episodes improve in your mind on repeated viewings, and this is the case with this one.

Other than the standard annoying turn from Jane Krakowski I thought this episode had lots of nice moments, and the cameo's from the NBA stars didn't prove too jarring.

I liked the final moment too.

Wow. I usually reserve

1 star for truly terrible shows or movies...like amateur hour and not ready for primetime.

I had already decided when Phil was playing basketball like an absolute fool that this was a 3 star episode...then it cut back to Claire and Joe mande with the wood...and it was then that I had to do what I was forced to do with later Office, HIMYM, Family Guy, IAS episodes....give a 1 star to episodes of shows that are real, on actual networks.

This episode just got worse and worse the longer it went on.

Baby Joe is annoying doing annoying things. Not his fault this time. He did what a child would do when adults tell him to do something.

Jane K is her usual annoying self. I get ahead supposed to be annoying...but she's unlikeable and unwatchable. At least Rob Riggles Gil Thorpe is enjoyable.

Only positive is she gives Gloria grief, which she deserves much more of. At one point I think she was the highest paid actress ..maybe even during this season. Amazing how someone so terrible can get so much money.

Mitch and Cam were the best part of this, and Mitch's acting was horrendous.

Love me some Nathan Fillion and he was ok here...but Haley has been awful for a long time, and this episode highlights that.

I still have a few minutes left.... I think that was it. No Luke no Alex this episode??? Or maybe they were there but i was just so distracted by the other awfulness. Oh yeah, Luke was helping Phil with basketball. Maybe that was it.

This may be the low point of the series. I'm pretty sure there are more 1 star episodes in the next few seasons. I think I ended up throwing in the towel the last 2 seasons it became so unwatchable, so there may be episodes I haven't seen yet.

I reserve my 1's for things that can't possibly get any worse...and really, it could have been worse. I should give this a 2...but I'll keep the 1...leat I have any doubt whether I should watch this again or not.

I'll know if I gave it a 1...don't watch it again Though I may be tempted in the future to watch it again....asking myself....how bad could this have been? Was it really 1 star bad??????

Yeah....it was....is.
