I'm quite excited, as he is the number one writer for the show in my eyes. They really need his help.

I'm not sure whether either Dave Polsky or Cindy Morrow are writing S6 episodes, but if not then there'll be nobody left at all from the S1 days.

I wanted to write up a “Day 2” and “Day 3” blog post, but, frankly, I was too tired to do either. But I took notes, so CLEARLY THIS IS TOTALLY CROMULENT.
