I've been catching up watching over the past few months... so I saw it last week but it was toward the end of Season 2. He was just there while Jules and Grayson(?) had coffee. It was just extra funny because I thought that was a joke about something we'd never see, and now that I've seen the show I get why a guy like Abed would like it. I was picturing something more like "Desperate Housewives". Buffy used to get a lot of sitcom shout-outs because the title is funny too. But you could tell that most of those writers have never watched it.(Given Bill Lawrence's meta- Scrubs-gasm, I would not be completely surprised to see Abed again, though.) Sometimes, I wonder if they were initially planning some other sort of show, or if "Cougar Town" came up in the pitch and some hack executive(played in my head by Garry Marshall, as all hack TV executives should be, like on Murphy Brown) seized on it early while Lawrence and his partner were all "Wait, you don't understand..." in which case maybe he should have sent Christa Miller in character to handle them.

Ah ok, yeah, they had mutual background cameos that year and it was awesome.

My understanding is that the show was initially pitched as something closer to the title. (You can tell by the first few eps they had, which had Jules actually dating a much younger guy.) Honestly if I didn't know it was Bill Lawrence I wouldn't have watched at all with that title. And I almost dropped it at the beginning too.

It's now one of my favorite shows, though it's had its share of missteps, especially one really gross ep this season. (Hint to sitcom writers, and I'm looking at you too, 30 Rock: Jokes about having sex with a sleeping person are not OK! Ugh.)

This is amazing: The Office auditions sign-in sheet.

POP POP, y'all.

Also, I could watch Donald Glover be funny FOREVER.

Man, Magnitude was kind of heart-breaking.

I'm going to have to dedicate some rewatches to reading the blackboard.

They almost took Magnitude's pop-pop! That was a surprisingly potent threat.

Man, Magnitude was kind of heart-breaking.

I'm adopting one of his potential but rejected catchphrases: "Schneep! Schneep!"

Not in MY backyard!

Not in MY backyard!

That was Emmett's favorite.

Also, I gotta say New Girl has been KILLING it this season, especially over the last three or four episodes. Just a show that seems to have hit its sweet spot. Very funny, memorable and quotable every episode.

Kazak the giant dog is my new favorite character on Archer. I hope he sticks around.
