Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, I took way too long to put together the link between the guest star on Raising Hope and the car, but I would have liked the episode better if they'd left it as a reality where the movie exists (ergo 88), but not have the salesman have an inexplicable need to do similar things to his doppleganger. And the supermarket setup was for that Wild West punchline?

I realise I might have been asking for a bit more of a Community treatment, but....Raising Hope is my other sitcom, man. Sure, it's never been subtle, but the gyrations they did weren't justified by the resolution.

I give the episode a thumbs up for the young version of him being painfully adorable, but the episode was definitely substandard.

I, otoh, had forgotten about the grocery store set up by the time we got to the end and was deeply amused. The whole episode totally worked for me. Well, I was a little disappointed that they ended up actually buying a new car, but that's more because I've never bought a new car so it seems extravagant to me.

Less than four weeks to new Community!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For Park and Rec fans, a little campaign song, Vote Knope.

Right--Parks and Rec. I was going to catch up on that, but I've seriously watched so much (for me) sitcom in the past year or so, it feels rash to take up something not on the brink of imminent demise.

Is it? On the brink, I mean. And imminently.

Not that I've heard. 30 Rock and The Office are officially ending this season, and I think Parks and Rec is doing pretty well, ratings-wise, so my uninformed opinion is that it'll stick around some more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I was all excited that HIMYM might end this season, after last night's episode, but no. Maybe there will be a 9th season. [link] Which, sure, they could do something with it, and I still like watching it, but they could just wrap it up and move on with their lives!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, I was actually bummed to see it extended.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No maybe, there will be a ninth season.

Oh, that's for sure? Oy vey. I clearly didn't google that hard.

Hmm, yeah, I don't know how to react to that news. I was just starting to enjoy the wrapping-things-up feeling of his season.
