Thanksgiving III

How does a thoroughly unlikable character manage to work his way back in after two funny years? The writers/producers seem to have been doing everything possible to further disrupt the chemistry that they already disrupted with the whole Schmidt two-timing CeCe and Elizabeth. The juvenile humor falls flat, which is a shame as the writing to this point has rather clever repartee with Nick, Winston, even Schmidt. Coach brings adolescent interactions portrayed as "manly" but are - well - juvenile. Unfortunately, this site tells me he's on the show to the end and that's a pity. One can hope it turns around but I suspect the shark has been jumped.

I had a feeling it would come to this when Coach came back as Cece has of course been getting more screen time recently which is great but idk how i feel abt the addition of coach again.

I feel like Coach throws off Winston's balance as well, just cuz i know he was his replacement it's weird seeing them both onscreen.

This episode felt very slow and with so many characters they had the chance to have a lot of funny dialogue but a lot of the jokes weren't very funny and there just wasn't enough going on for the amount of people, idk i'm probably just used to the multiple settings and stories per episode thing but of course here it was the same thing.
