The only negative was the drain thing. A girl did die that way and it's pretty not funny.
One of the jokes this week was a dead kid floating face down in the pool, and last week Charlie got shot while being a black kid...
Oh, I know, but loads of kids drown and get shot. One kid had her insides sucked out by a pool drain. It's too specific.
Frasier's probably on Netflix.
I wonder what percentage of posts of disagreement on this board are textbook examples of the either/or fallacy.
I think my main issue with the drain thing is that it's not even a funny premise. The ep should have ended with Dee saying, "There's goddam AIDS blood in the pool. I hate this water park!"

Mac smiling was one of the funniest things in the episode. You are crazy.

This is one of the few shows that can still pull off the classic Frasier/Seinfeld style of shit piling up and piling up and ultimately culiminating in a big final moment based on the last twenty minutes of precariously-piled-set-up. Dee and Mac landing in the pool full of AIDS water and Mac's sitting on the drain pipe is the perfect example of this. I was laughing.

I'm rewatching Dee Made a Smut Film and I'm confused by Lenny's hate. This is a great episode. Frank playing the art dealer is classic.

I thought Charlie acting like Richard Grieco and actually having Richard Grieco in it was the funniest part. And Frank's nazi hallucinations.
Oh and daft twat seems to have never read/heard of "Guts", which I mentioned before he even went off on the "it really happened" argument.

I certainly have not. I read a description. Gross. Christ.
Look, anyone who loves Sunny, and I do, enjoys black humor. I am not saying they went over the line. I just personally didn't find it funny in an episode that I thought was really funny overall. If I had an issue with it, it's that as far as I know, this happened to one kid, so it's a little too specific. Random drowning kid? No problem. That's happened to thousands of kids. Anyway, looking forward to the next ep.

The Nightman Cometh has to be the best episode. Thoughts?

Top 5 for sure.
Chardee McDennis, Dee Dates a Retarded Person, The Gang Dances Their Asses Off also come to mind.

I have to be honest...I really do not like the Chardee MacDennis episodes. I think it easily some of the weakest stuff in the series. It feels like they are just throwing shit at the wall.

Yes.
Or The Gang Dances Their Asses Off.
But, no, yes. It's The Nightman Cometh.

The Nightman Cometh is probably best.
Or Thundergun Express or Mac and Charlie Write a Movie or The Gang Buys a Boat.
I'm probably forgetting some.
