The writing on the show is typically so sharp I'm kind of surprised they can't figure out a way to have the two intertwine more naturally (something <em>Arrested Development</em> did quite well and what Larry David build an entire career around).

Laugh out loud funny. For the return ep, I was a little disappointed. I didn't find anything about Milf Island to be LOL-worthy. It was clever, sure, and it struck some strike-related notes, but normally I chuckle more at 30 Rock. Rick - so glad to see you back to covering many of my favorite shows! I just started on Top Chef this season and it's half your fault.
