Old episodes were clever! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hmmm...the more older episodes I see, the more I begin to understand why people think JSM might be loosing it's touch. I just saw "College or Collagen"...the Karey plot was alright, but the Jack & Dennis plot was excellent! (memory jog: Dennis starts playing bridge with Jack because Allie's a lousy bridge player and the way it's depicted, it seems like they're having an affair) It was hilarious, and brilliant! I saw another epi a while ago where Jack had two tickets to the Shakespear play King Lear (sp?) and the end of the show ends up being just like the end of the play (that Maya had described) Again, it was funny and clever... Anyone else have any favourite clever scenes from other episodes?

The episode when Jack hires another assistant who becomes a thorn in Finch's side and threatens him is one of the funniest ones. The episode when Maya's old boyfriend who Jack disliked came back was a funny one. Especially the parts when Finch is in charge of the new interns and treats them like an army. BLT!!!!!

Or how about the episdeo where Jenny McCarthy appeared as Finch's childhood friend who got a sex change. Good one!!

The later episodes were good with Kevin, the mail guy in it. I forget what episode it is, but in the beginning Finch is filming a video for Kevin for a video dating service.

Was it a big co-incidence that whenever Allie was going to do something (and there was a chance we would see her), she would always cancel?

Thank god we finally got to see her in last year's season finale.

Yeah, I liked the one with the new assistant too, especially Nina and Elliot's plan to save Finch!

A couple of days ago I saw the one where Jack was trying to loose weight in a contest with Donald Trump and ends up loosing the contest, so he has to play golf in a dress. I'm not normaly into sight-gags, but the scenes with Jack playing golf in that dress were *hilarious*!! I also liked the scene in that one where Nina licks her finger and tells Jack that there's sugar, "pure cane", in his donut...LOL! And then it ends all mob-like with the delivery boy in Jack's office... That was a clever one!

I never really thought about the Ally thing because the first episode I ever saw (all the way through) was the one with Ally in it (well I guess it was part 2...I think Finch had just slept with her and then Jack walks in...I'd love to see that one again for nostelgia's sake :> )
