We watched this on TiVo right after 'The Gauntlet.' I already covered this show in the 'Take One for the Team' section of the mailbag two weeks ago, but wanted to add one thing: Neil Patrick Harris' comeback on this show has to rank among the most improbable show business comebacks of all time. He carries this show. It's astounding. I always thought Zack from 'Saved by the Bell' joining 'NYPD Blue' could never be topped, but this tops it. Did you ever think in a million years that Doogie Howser could carry a watchable sitcom?"
