I am not sure what rating to give this...8, 9 or 10

So...season 1 and 2 were fine, with some memorable things.

But I think this episode...second episode of season 3 may be the high point of the series.

And signaled an increase in quality.

I think the show finally figured out what it was going to be...even with all the shenanigans behind the scenes with marketing and shifting it all over the place schedule wise.

This is THE episode I point to as the go to for News Radio.

Matthew with a mustache. Jimmy James running for president.

Great plots...great fun acting and lines.

Def an 8. So...is this a 10? I'm gonna have to watch it and scrutinize it to determine.

I definitely like it a lot.

It definitely entertains the heck out of me.

And I don't know if I have any complaints whatsoever.

But my 10's have that little bit extra to put it over the top.

This may have it.

Phil Hartman kissing Andy Dick just may do it.

An amazing bow to go on top of this present.

Season Three kicks off with Mr. James deciding to run for president of United States, while defying Lisa to uncover a secret he may have. A side(hilarious)plot is Matthew growing a fluffy moustache. This was a great way to start off the season, what a great premise (both of them). First of all, Mr James is one of those characters so lunatic that running for president does seem kind of believable for him (it's fun seeing this after Trump became president) and the way he seems to have it all under control is great, the scenes where the crew tries to come up with slogans it's very funny, and the resolution with the reveal of Lisa is great as well. Meanwhile the Matthew story is just fun because normally nobody cares about Matt, he's just there, and people don't usually even notice him but this time they all are constantly noticing and interacting with him in order for him to take the hideous mustache off. The highlight of the episode though, is at the very end when Matthew decides he has to kiss one of the ladies so they can check if kissing a mustache would be gross, and when none of them accept, Bill of all people steps up to the challenge "Do I have to do everything around here?" he remarks. Great episode 9/10 ********* pETER sHELBY
