I've missed a couple of weeks...must go set the DVR. We started watching it from the beginning, and I wondered where all the fans were. As you say, "from our planet"! It's consistently one of my most favorite shows.

Jill watched from the beginning too, and I was just ignoring things. We're up to ep 9 from S1 and there were apparently a full 17 that they finished before the strike. Amazing.

SO fun.

[kirbyfest]

Actually, I didn't. I discovered it mid-first season and furiously caught up from there. I don't watch sitcoms, generally. Nor do I usually watch anything that airs at 7. ;) But this totally won.

By the end of S1 it's awesome. It had some shaky moments in the first half.

Wait...it gets BETTER?????

[kirbyfest]

I think so. Early S1 they were still finding their balance, I think, and getting to know the strengths of the various actors. They've got that now, for the most part, and have also figured out how Penny works best with the guys.

This year's Christmas episode was possibly the most perfect half-hour of sitcom TV ever produced; I was almost incapable of coherent thought or breathing for AGES. K called immediately at the end and the entire conversation consisted of gems such as "AND THEN..." ::hysterical laughter:: "COULD YOU BELIEVE?" ::more laughter and coughing:: "I KNOW!"

That sounds about right!

We just finished the "presenting their paper" and "the lies about Leo, the druggie cousin" eps (1x10 and 1x11, I think).
