You know, CC is a sap at heart. Ghosts that Stole X-Mas, Post-Modern Prometheus and now this. I'm not a big fan of any of these. I know many love PMP but I felt let down. B & W was cool and the black humor but the whole super-duper happy ending...yeck! Ghosts had nice guest stars but a way too typical haunted house out of a Scooby Doo cartoon and a hokey X-mas ending.

Here, CC wants to do a musical a la Joss Whedon did on Buffy. Actually this reminds me more of Hollywood A.D., lots of little funny bits that don't add up to a whole. The best part was S & R stuck in the garage, that should have been the whole ep. GA/AG were a good comic pairing, I think Doggett wouldn't work in comedy. The numerology angle was different but it hardly mattered. How and why did the killer go after the numerologist in the first place? Why return to the building (yes he stayed there but why not leave)?

Nice to finally have a funny one but not good enough. Hope the Lone Gunmen one is much better. Burt did OK, he's become a good character actor (see Boogie Nights) now that he's ego was knocked down a few notches.
