It was decent, but not the best of the season so far. Hopefully the ratings went up at least a bit.

Yeah, a step down from previous efforts, but still, it was pretty good. I was glad to see some of the real Joey pop up at times -- the classic double take in the trailer and the frown turning into an innocent smile as he looked at the gold star are both excellent moments.

It was really, really fun to see Joey in class and I would have liked to have seen more of that and less of the stuff on the set. They didnt seem to know how to write the Gina stuff and that's unfortunate. And what happened to Alex and Michael? They just faded out.

Great moments, but only a good episode.

dude u cannot expect every episode to be spectacular, obviousally there r going to be some decent episodes. by the wayy season 2 has soo far been spectacular, much better performance as compared to season 1. slowly slowly, this show is moving on.

I thought it was a strong episode. Not the best, but overall very good.

Weakest episode so far. The Joey in ESL class was great, but the on-set parts were dull, mostly because John Larroquette's character bugs the hell out of me and I don't know why. Bringing Gina into that part of it helped though.

And can someone please give Michael and Zach something to do? Of six episodes, they've had like one storyline each so far this season. Even Bobbie is getting more screentime than them.

This was funny. Not as funny as last week's but it was still good. Joey deciding to enroll in an English class ROFL. Joey and Lockwood hate each other. They do a scene and go back to being mean ROFL. Lockwood wants out of the parachutte and Joey says oh let me help you with that ROFL. The trailer that moves rofl. Bobby can't have lockwood as a client because they had sex. ROFL. hey the ratings are improving! cool!

The best part of the episode was when Bobbie told Joey he had to fire Gina because "if I don't fire her they'll think I've gone soft and ask for the day off when a family member dies". LOL!!!!

I don't expect every episode to be spectacular... I was just sharing my opinion. By the way what's with the "dude"??? LOL
