    We got a few stand out scenes but this episode overall was a kind of lackluster. Adam's stupidity has been so exaggerated to the point where it wasn't even funny. Seriously? Telling Jen in the end, like that wasn't predictable.

    I don't know what was going on with Timmy, Russel, or Jen but it was just awful and devoid of laughter. The only amusing story line would have to be Jeff going to the store and getting the wrong thing but that's about it.

    You know what I did like? The substantial development, the surrogate finally got pregnant. I was beginning to think that it wasn't going to work out, but I'm glad it finally did. Looking forward to the new dynamics because of this.moreless

    "And the total comes to $365,000. We'll see ourselves out."

    Fun episode of Rules of Engagement here. The Jeff and Audrey storyline was a little disappointing, but I have been against this surrogate nonsense since the beginning. Only in the world of sitcoms do people have less viable sperm than an 88 year old man.

    The Timmy and Russell wedding planning plot was actually interesting though. I thought this duo had jumped the shark a long time ago, but I liked their scenes tonight.

    And of course stupid Adam steals the show again. One of TV's most underrated characters. The waffle sandwich idea is something I'd try too!moreless
