    It simply doesn't get much better than this. Denny takes Alan fishing to help him get over his breakup with Tara.

    The newbies finally grew on me in this episode- Sara and Garretts entrapment of the Reverand was funng and brilliantly done- it was easily their best episode.

    Catherine was as hilarious as ever- I loved the bit where Shirley, Tara and Brad discover the body as well! The writers certainly didn't let us down here.

    The best part, however, was the fishing trip. Alan and Denny are easily the best pairing on the show- it really made me laugh, especially when they woke up in bed next to each other, and Denny shot the fish! Some of the best scenes the show has ever produced!

    Overall, an excellent episode- the Season begins to hit its stride.moreless

    This episode is so funny it can almost not be put into words! Simply hysterical. Catherine Murders Bernard and Denny & Alan go fishing. When Denny blows the head off the fish is a great moment. When Shirly finds the dead body is also a great scene. This show is the one of the craziest and funniest, however most touching and well written shows ecer. All that is not to mention the acting! The cast is easily the best cast on television, and the best cast of any show or movie in a long time. Absolutely fabulous in evry respect.moreless

    A very funny episode as Denny and Alan go to Canada to fish salmon Catherine Piper is arrested for the murder of Bernard Denise is still on her devoirs case ver all the episode was great the Denny and Alan storyline was the best as when Denny says he came out here to enjoy nature and don't talk to him about the environment was priceless the only thing that drags this episode down is the devoirs story of Denise as I always found that story very boring and did not care about it at all that is all I have to saymoreless

    These is the most funny episode I've seen in my life. It was painful to watch because i couldn't stop from laugh teen. I believe these episode was made to kill people from laughter. So Alan breaks up with Tara and Denny takes him fishing to Canada to take his mind of her, and that where the fun begins. You should see Mr. "not a nature person" catching 15 fish and Denny not catching one. My favorite seen was when Denny and Alan woke up to find them selfs in the same bed hugging, the look on they faces when they woken up, Denny:"we slept together" and then Alan:"i wont tell anyone, i promise":)). I also like the phrases that Shirley said:"I make over one million dollars a year and I'm in a beistment looking for a dead midget.", not to mention what Danny said to the other lawyer "I came out here to enjoy the nature, don't talk to me about the environment."moreless

  • Fantastic episode.

    Tara breaks up with Alan so Denny takes him fishing to forget about the break up. This is Alan's first fishing trip ever but he manages to catch loads of fish unlike Denny who does not catch any. Also Shirley defends Catherine who is put on a murder charge abnd requests Alan. Overall loved this episode especially where Denny shot the fish. Also Alan and Denny end up in court over a Samon fight. I really liked this episode. I know that Tara will leave soon but why? I can't get enough of this show the writing is just so good by Kelley.moreless
