I really enjoy this show. It was available for free on itunes before the show even ran on tv. Interesting. I was smiling through the whole first half yesterday and watched the rest tonight (I watch while exercising).

BTW... I can't believe Zachary Levi isn't Jewish. Amazing.

Absence did not make the heart grow fonder, and the first half of the premiere was awful. Then it got better, and I remembered what I thought about the first season. The parts in the Buy More were great, and the spy stuff was terrible.

It's still true. The spy stuff sucked. The Buy More stuff was much better (although Tang was a real nemesis - Lester is a small man in big shoes and will always be so). This could have been such a good half-hour sitcom.

The bluff and the reentry with the swat team was pretty funny. I also wish they would bring back Harry Tang.

Did he leave to do Dexter, or was his character just written out?

Knowing what he is doing now, I'm guessing a bit of both.

My wife watched this show for the first time this week - she skipped out on last season completely. She ended up liking it (comment: "that was cute"). I found that while explaining back story, I kept mentioning how totally awesome Tang was.

The spy stuff in this show is goofy, but I don't think it aspires to anything other than "goofy".

Decent episode. Definitely ended on a strong note. Lester mostly makes me roll my eyes. The interviewing process was pretty funny.

I forgot all about the Buy More Thunderdome. That was classic. They should have given it another 10-15 seconds of screen time at least.

I love this show, but I don't take my TV seriously. If you're looking for anything meaningful, you should stick to CBS shows or something.

First Episode was kinda weak compared to last season.

When he told Morgan that he was in charge and Morgan got that look on his face, I knew the next image on the screen would be awesomeness, and it was 8.6 times better than I though it was going to be. The writers understand nerdiness.

Lester is a small man in big shoes and will always be so.Man, was he. I wonder where they are going to go with this - it's funny to see him flounder, but drama demands that he change or step down. Everyone else totally lacks ambition except Chuck, who's only ambition is to get out. Buy More is in flux.

I'm hoping they use this as an excuse to bring back Tang. More likely though now that Chuck appears to be hanging around for a bit, Lester will continue to fail and Chuck will continue to play consigliere until Big Mike puts Chuck in charge.

Bump.

I just went to my high school reunion the weekend before this episode aired, so I could feel what Sarah was going through.

And I'm not sure whether I should have been amused or appalled by the use of "Smack My Bitch Up" when Sarah and Nicole Ritchie were fighting.

Amused. Thoroughly amused.
