If a few stunt special guests is what it takes, I'm for it. This show is more clever than other laugh track comedies. Their use of flashbacks is excellent.

I don't think he was ever really hating on Britney. I somewhat agree with him though. I mean, how sad is it that the show received a boost just cause Britney was in it? CBS's position here is understandable though. It received a boost when she was on, so it makes sense for them to try to cast her in the show again.
