With this twentieth episode the series accuses one enough level sharp drop while staying at a very honorable level. Why? Simply because the intrigue is too thin and does not rest(base) on not much (Jake's temporary bad mood). Of more the humor sometimes sinks into the repetition(rehearsal) (Jake plays badly the guitar always the same piece) and in the heaviness (the gag of the not funny puppet). The coming of the shrink does not really sort out things. Fortunately some retorts remain funny thanks to Charlie and Alan, without forgetting Jake's funny mimes. But the intrigue results in no evolution of the character of Jake who becomes again happy at the end, where from the feeling to have had to deal with an episode of filling. In summary uneven, a little bit lazy episode at the level of the scenario and of the inventiveness of gags but which remains enjoying to look.

Poop is always funny. I am grumpy when I need to poop too, I watched this with my mum and and she was crying laughing from the therapist.

This episode is one of firsts. It gives us the first (to my knowledge) run out of the longer opening sequence, with the three leads singing and the first appearance of Jane Lynch as a wacky therapist.

Sadly though this episode is not a good one, one of the weaker ones of a strong first series. Jake is moody. That's as much as we get in terms of plot. There's some good jokes along the way but this is a cheap episode wedged into the run up to the end of the series.

I would recommend that you skip it if you were going through the series on DVD, but this has little to really commend.

A shame.
