    Ah, the escaping from dinner before the bill comes. A plot that is fast-tracking its way to becoming a sitcom cliche (I just watched an episode of Two and a Half Men with a similar scenario.) It is good to see that Til Death has found its footing and has gone froma show that was unwatchable at the start of the season to a highly entertaining half hour of comedy. While FOX is just most likely going to burn off the rest of the episodes two at a time on Sundays, people who are not watching are really missing out. Brad Garrett has finally got his rhythym back and is once again funny. His stand-up in the classrom ("that must be your raft parked in the bike rack") was incredible. More classroom scenes please!'

    Great episode tonight; haven't written that in a long time.moreless
