The laughs were coming a by the second with this first episode for the new season. Pretty sure I'm missing some of the better jokes with my shoddy memory, but that CBS meltdown interview was comedy gold. Also pretty wild to see JLD's character having to get what seems like allowance from her daughter to get by.
This is the final season, correct? Should be interesting to see how the show will provide closure.
I'm sure folks here already read about how the show had to remove a potential joke because it landed to close to something Trump was rumored to be involved with.

Kent's reaction was the best thing of the episode

It wasn't necessarily the best or biggest joke, but when dude said "Tough break here, bud." right after the former press secretary guy got 'fired' by Selina in the car, I was laughing so long and hard, I didn't hear the dialog for the next couple of scenes. The pitch perfect timing and inflection for that line just totally killed me.
Pretty damn sad this is the last season.

They could spin that off for a season and I wouldn't be mad.

He had to snap on both her and his dad (Stephen Root FTW), but only got to one of them. I'd have choked Selina with one of those ribs.
Dan and Jonah were hilarious too

both in terms of laughs and the ending as well, but the flashbacks were well done. Kind of a shame because it was cool this season seeing the crew scramble around while being outside of Washington trying to earn their keep so to speak.
Feels a bit silly to type SPOILER ALERT since this is a half hour sitcom and not a drama, but does the one of the scenes from the ending credits mean the end of Mike McClintock (sp?) for the next season? Also, with Trump in office, is it a bit presumptuous to assuming Jonah will in fact become president next season?

what did folks think of that final season and the final episode? Pretty cool to see the show ride the wave of the Selina character being a true heel. Props to Julia Louis-Dreyfus portraying the role to a full T and props to her for coming back from that breast cancer scare as well.
Sad to see such a stellar sitcom go off the air. Even more so since Trump's presidency could provide the show with plot-lines for season upon season.

I am so glad that they figured out richard splett was the heart of the show.
Amazing how they didn't cop out and let her lose gracefully or win virtuously. They really made us feel her winning was the worst choice that she could make.
Nailed the landing. Great Great Show.

I laughed don't get me wrong but it felt like every single line was an over the top punch line - still in the all-time comedy discussion and I enjoyed but it just became almost too outrageous imo

Maybe not that bad. She started off like appealing anti-hero Walter White at the beginning of Breaking Bad and ended up being the Walter White that got Hank killed.
I enjoyed the season. Not as much as previous seasons, but it was still good to me. But what she did to Gary made me want to shed a tear. That was probably the most terrible thing she's done in a long line of terrible things. Gary didn't deserve that.
But at least Richard got to be President. Kind of saw that coming when he went from Mayor to Lt Governor. I was just waiting to see how it was going to happen.
Great series. This season was rushed being only 7 eps (and definitely felt it), but it still brought the funny. Being upstaged by Hanks at the end was fitting
