    He's back

    Absolute perfect explanation of the gang without Dennis! You got anymore wine?

    Outstanding

    Firstly I thought this episode was a stroke of genius.

    there are a lot of people reviewing this that are making comments about it starting poorly etc .

    the entire episode was a joke. it was meant to feel wrong and the chemistry was meant to be off, we were meant to not like Dennis's replacement, that was the entire idea, to make us think "no this isn't going to work" .

    I am amazed how many people are saying " i am a hard core fan" when clearly they know nothing about the dynamics of the show after 12 full seasons have aired. one review asks, where was the raunchy gang? the nasty comments? the silly antics? Mindy had stopped it!! again it had gone over peoples heads.

    the episode was great the twist was great, well done guys.

    Ok

    Mindy is a terrible actress in this particular instance. It feels weird and forced.

    Gold, Jerry, Gold!!!

    Ohh, don't get me wrong. When this episode opened with Mindy Kaling, and for the first little while, these guys had me worried. I mean no offense - love Mindy and all, but in the context of Sunny it was such a weird match... and ultimately just friggin' perfect for the purposes of this episode. Sorry (to and for) the people that didn't get this one. It was pure gold. I laugh, out loud, every time I think of that Dennis doll. One of you guys' best! Thank you so much for all the laughter you bring to the world. You make life so much better. :)

    Not Sure Yet

    The gang gets a new member. Cindy. I hate her! She is extremely annoying. I wasn't sure where the episode was going, but it did wrap up nicely. I am cautiously optimistic about the rest of this season. There were some great jokes here. I do not think the show can work in the long term without Dennis though. He is my favourite character. They need all of the main characters, or they should just quit while they are ahead.

      When Charlie walks in and The Waitress had just had sex with the Dennis sex doll, Steve Winwood, who Dennis often listens to and mentions, is playing furthering the notion that the doll is talking to people.

      The "tuba" Cindy gives to Frank in this episode is in fact a sousaphone.
