I am not ready for Key and Peele to end, and yet it is. What's up with that?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Seriously, right? But it's their choice, so good on them to go out on a high rather than milk it.

I loved the way that they brought it full circle.

They did end it very well, all the way around.
And maybe they can have reunion specials.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm not sure where Best Time Ever belongs, but here seems as good as anywhere.
The first episode was an amusing hour. Neil Patrick Harris has an engaging personality that keeps the show moving. The celebrity guests are game to participate in the zany, such as Special Guest Announcer Renee Zellweger racing Harris through an obstacle course 15 stories above the ground.
The main weakness is the heavy reliance on audience participation. At the beginning of the show, Harris went into the audience to tell people what he knew about them. Then Harris photobombs events that audience members attend (including one person's wedding). Then a segment where people at home compete for cash by finishing a line of a "Karaoke Classic" (although the set-up did involve Gloria Gaynor on-stage singing "I Will Survive," so there was a compensating factor). Then, the finale involved an audience member answering questions for a chance at up to 16 great prizes.
Overall, a pleasant effort at reworking the variety show. Less depth than a mud puddle, but not a bad way to pass an hour.

My mistake. Either way, I liked that she was game enough to run the 15-story high race despite a self-proclaimed fear of heights.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The last thing I thought I'd ever feel after watching the Muppets is depressed.
