Episode 1
Brawl, Blackmail, Gloryhole

What a hilarious episode! This is some funny sh*t right here. The title of the episode pretty much sums up what it's about. But it's the manner in which it plays out that makes this one of the best episodes yet. Review #1 is to get into a Brawl, which leads him getting shot 3 times and ends up in a coma and later falls in love with the Nurse that cared for him. Review #2 has it that he has to review what Blackmail is like. Naturally his dedication to his job leads him to blackmail his new girlfriend, ending with her pulling a gun on him. The final review was probably the funniest. I really don't even have to say more than that. Haha.

Episode 2
Curing Homosexuality, Mile High Club

Forrest's enthusiasm and dedication for 'reviewing' the Mile High Club offered the best laugh of the night. He completes the review, but not without plenty of obstacles in the way to get there. The look on his face as his Ex-Girlfriend Shampoo looks on was f*cking hilarious and priceless. I'm curious how this review is going to factor in later in the season, as it's sure to have a callback of some sort. The 'Fasten your seat belt' joke was funny.

Episode 3
Falsely Accused, Sleep with Your Teacher, Little Person

The sight of Forrest living life as a Little Person was insanely funny. Couldn't stop laughing. Soooooo damn funny. It was great to see Max Gail as Forrest's father. Haven't seen him in anything in years. Even better was seeing Lennon Parham pop up as the Teacher, who ends up becoming Forrest's new girlfriend. I love that Lennon, Jessica St. Clair and Andy Daly are jumping across from this show to Playing House.

Episode 4
Cult, Perfect Body

(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


Ack! So much for Lennon Parham getting an extended run on the series as Forrest's girlfriend. What's the last thing you would ever expect to happen on a comedy series? Would it be a mass bloodbath where a majority of characters are killed off in a hail of gunfire? I guess the moral of the story is that when given the chance, Forrest should always use 1 of his 2 Veto's for the season and opt out of trying to review what it's like to start his own cult. This little bit was funny enough to warrant a full 5 Stars from me. But throw in what is probably going to be the all time greatest site gag of Forrest as a Bodybuilder with the ultimate tan and the whitest teeth ever, and you have a recipe for an instant classic episode. Could not stop laughing at his 'Roid-rage.

Episode 5 & 6
Catfish, Haunted House / William Tell, Grant a Wish, Rowboat

(http://i.imgur.com/SW1TShG.gif)



The Catfish Review felt somewhat short and then it just ends. The resolution I had figured to be, doesn't actually happen until Episode 6 and now that Forrest's Ex-Wife and Son have moved in with Joe Dale Jr., it's going to offer even more situational comedy. Throw in the fact that Forrest's father has also decided to move in with Joe, I can't wait to see where they are taking this. I know it's going to be very funny however they wrap this up. The William Tell Review was also particularly funny as well. They had been using this segment in the Season 2 promos with Forrest getting shot by an arrow and I figured this was the best part. It's not. You need to stick around to see what happens later in the segment. It had me rolling on the floor with laughter.

Episode 7
Buried Alive, 6 Star Review, Public Speaking

(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Star%20Ratings/HTL_03star.gif)



Not the best episode of the series for sure. It had a couple of moments that gave me a chuckle. I did like how everything started to unravel for Forrest when he was buried alive when he gets a phone call from his Ex-Wife when she informs him she is getting remarried. Other than that, a very meh episode. An anomaly.

Episode 8
Murder, Magic 8 Ball, Procrastination

(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


Quite possibly the funniest episode yet. Who would have ever guessed that a Magic 8-Ball inside of a fanny pack could generate a mountain of humor. I couldn't stop laughing at the sight. I will not go into detail. To do so would deprive you of the best laugh you will have all year long. Hit YouTube, search for it and then thank me later. You're welcome.

Episode 9 & 10
Happiness, Pillow Fight, Imaginary Friend / Conspiracy Theory

(http://i.imgur.com/SW1TShG.gif)



The Imaginary Friend review was f*cking hilarious! When it came time for other prisoners to appropriate his friend as their own, it took on a whole other level. F*cking priceless! As for the season finale, I expected the episode to basically encapsulate the entire season, much like they did in Season 1 and it was great. Watching a man lose it mentally as his paranoia about his Producer trying to "kill" him was both funny and disturbing at the same time. The way the episode ends with both falling off the bridge into the river below was fitting. Overall a solid season. Not as great as the first season, but definitely a worthy successor.

So, Review has been cancelled. Season 3, which I just watched is the last Season and consist of a whopping 3 Episodes. Obviously I'm bummed they cancelled this. But with that said, I thought it was great to incorporate getting cancelled into the Final Episode. Very funny way to go out. I will miss this show. Hopefully all 3 Seasons will be on DVD. If so, I fully intend to buy them.
