    Not a funny episode, and now we're stuck with Kelly.

    This season (season 5) has been great so far. I loved every episode so far, but this episode was really bad. I hardly laughed, and this Kelly character is so annoying. Not sure why they think it's a good idea to add her to the already perfect cast.
