    Such a funny episode. Matt Le Blanc continued to astonish with his ability to rip himself.

    Still loving this. It will be interesting to see where this new script idea (old script...) will go.

    And I laughed out loud at the "ploughing our way through the family" comment.

    This is the only tv comedy I watch. Matt Le Blanc is soo good at making an ass of himself. This weeks episode benefited from being Castorless. His erection problems were dragged out too long last week.
    Funny with Mornings' sister/daughter!. I loved 'who was Trumans Vice President? ' 'how ****ing old do you think I am ?? ' but knowing the answer. The C word was I bit meh but, the assistant is so useless I'm not thinking it an overreaction. I do hope it's back for another series.

    I'm absolutely staggered but a fourth series has definitely been commissioned. I can only guess that it's much more popular in the States than here. I think it has its moments but it's just so limp.

    Has it?

    So presumably their other series get's picked up and somehow Matt LeBlanc ends up being in it.

    That certainly wouldn't happen, they would have to choose an entirely new star for the new series otherwise it would just be associated with Pucks and would flop again.

    Interesting to see how they pull that off.

    Well mildly interesting anyway.

    There could be all sort of interesting and funny story lines if Matt DOESN'T get cast in their new show, which turns out to be a success and Matt goes increasingly off the rails because no one will give him a part :)

    It's not the greatest comedy in the world but it is very witty and smart in parts. If it does return then it would be interesting to see it go in a slightly different direction.

    The actress who played Morning's daughter is the sexiest woman I've seen on my TV in ages.

    Tracy Spiridakos (although I didn't recognise her at first). She is in the the terrible Revolution. If you haven't seen it, don't bother: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2702898/

    Ah yes! Knew she was familiar:D
    And yes, delightful as she is, she was woeful in Revolution, which was pretty woeful all told:(

    Yes, I only managed 3 episodes of Revolution before giving in. How it got renewed is beyond me. Tracy is lovely and her role in Episodes was maybe better suited to her but she is still an actress of very limited ability.

    The scene where Matt told Sean and Bev about sleeping with Morning's daughter was very funny

    Bev "You slept with the woman herself"
    Sean "That's also true"

    I was chuffed because I did recognise her. Her character quickly becomes annoying in the first season of Revolution, but improves a lot in the second. She becomes less entitled and more cynical, and I ended up wanting to see what happened to her. (Spoilers: not a lot, as it turns out. Not a carefully thought-out show.) So I wouldn't hold that first season of Revolution against the actress.

    This is my first post in this thread, because I came to the show late, partway through this season. I like it. As usual I read lots of posts saying it's no longer as good as it was, but for me it stands up.

    You think? She she looked twice the age she was claiming to be in this. Horrible skin for a supposed teenager.

    I really enjoyed that last episode, thought it was the best of the series and had some real laugh out loud moments, especially when Matt realised he had just slept with Morning's daughter, 'take your hand off my ****!'

    Matt LeBlanc howling with indignation at you Brits coming over here and stealing our jobs was very funny as we cut to him with Jamie Lapidus who is played by Genevieve O'Reilly. Okay not British but not American either!

    I agree with others that S1&2 were better but it had its moments. I've especially enjoyed the references to Morning's age.

    When they discussed fundraiser phone ins and she said she'd done the Amoco Cadiz and Three Mile Island made me laugh.

    The new boss was a big mistake IMO. Matt Blanc was as good as ever.

    It’s already been confirmed as returning for a 4th season.

    Quite the opposite in his opinion. I recall reading a while back that he's got so much money he only does what he enjoys doing these days.

    So boo to the critics

    They even made a joke about it in season 1 i think - it's generally referred to as "f**k you" money and I'm sure he mentioned that before agreeing to appear in "Pucks".

    But then they all got $1 Million Dollars per episode for Season 9 and 10 of 'Friends'.

    I thought the series had finished but there are 2 more to go.
    Great.
