NewsRadio. Season 2, Episode 18. "Led Zeppelin" Better than the previous episode. Lisa and Dave have broken up and everyone they work with is trying to adjust. The best scenes are the ones between Dave and Bill. Bill is such an odd character. He and Dave have a great dynamic in this episode. Dave is upset and Bill is trying to reach out to him. Or is he? (Who knows with Bill?) Anyway, Dave keeps trying to bond by sharing anecdotes but Bill's shared stories (of his ex) are downright weird. It's hilarious watching them and watching Dave react. Their scenes together give the episode a funny subplot.

Wings. Episode 4. "Return to Nantucket, Part Two" Carol is back on the island and trying to make things work with Brian. Unfortunately, she's running after Joe behind his back and pretty soon the Hackett brothers won't be speaking again. It's a good episode. The episode gives us a lot of information on the backstory for these characters and it does a lot to make us like them. Comedy-wise Crystal Bernard totally steals the show. She spends the first third of the show angry, the middle third over-eating in odd places and the final third drunk. It is in the final third that she is at her best. Helen has never been more feisty. Or most lovable.

Highlight? Wings (Helen)
