Yeah, I can see getting bumped off the Big 3 could be viewed as a slap in the face. But I think in the end, she would rather have a show that she loves doing, keeping the cast together than any amount of ABC Exec ass kissing. I was browsing through some past issues of Entertainment Weekly the other day and Cox and Lawrence were interviewed about the lack of support from ABC and they thought the show was pretty much dead after this season.

I have no idea what the inside joke is with regards to the Title Card: Cougarton Abbey. Seriously, no clue. It's probably something simple but for whatever reason it's not regisering with me. I'm sure that when I'm clued it, I will no dobut do this -----> As for the episode, it was good. The gag about who could keep their white shirt spotless, although fun, was a bit predictable. It's a no brainer that whoever starts the bet will end up losing at the end. So the wine splash was foreseen a mile away. Still funny though.

I loved the inside joke at the start of the episode about the cul-de-sac crew being replaced by a less funny gang. So true! Fake-givings was a nice joke as well, due to the fact that it took forever for Cougar Town to return to the airwaves and decided to have a "Thanksgiving" episode anyway. In your face ABC!

RIP Big Carl. Come on, that was funny stuff. Even the 'In Loving Memory..." at the end was a nice touch. Bring on Big Lou!!
