    I just found this show. And it is glorious.

    Just finished "Racial Sensitivity" and the hiring black people to shadow the black people they hired to shadow black people so that they don't appear discriminatory was the greatest. the. greatest. thing.

    so far...

    Racial Sensitivity is one of my favorites. Bioshuffle is also fun. Jabberwocky might be the only one I like more than either of those, primarily because the big show they stage for the product is hilarious. Pay attention to the stuff in the background too. The buzzword parade starts with stuff like "innovative" but there's also "vainglorious" and "your ideal weight."

    Oh man, if this show has better episodes than Racial Sensitivity then I am kicking myself for not watching this show earlier.

    Also:
    "You can't hurt a baby"
    "Yes you can, they aren't indestructible"
    "I know that. I'm saying its morally wrong to hurt a baby."
    "What if the baby killed someone?"
    "You and your moral dilemmas. I love them"
    ...hours later...
    "So you are saying you would in no way hurt baby Hitler?"

    Do we know if the absence of a fake commercial is the new norm or if this was just a fluke?

    Just this episode; next week's episode is supposed to have one (going by review screeners that were sent out).

    My wife and I have been big fans since the first episode aired. Unfortunately, the long break made us forget how truly funny the show is. This week's episode probably ranks right at the top for me.

    The first episodes ratings were atrocious, but then, they aired the first episode during the Biggest Loser Finale, so that should have definitely been expected. But, when a network airs the first episode against something they know will kill it, that is usually a bad sign.

    They pretty much fucked the first season of BoT in the face, promotions/timeslot-wise, but I honestly think this second season is gonna be a good one for this show.

    I was definitely glad to see the commercials return, although I still prefer them mid-episode rather than at the end.
