Never have I given an episode of a sitcom a 10. While sitcoms may be witty at times or have excellent writing, a grade that is worthy of a 10 I have never seen before. Until now.
This episode is very good. It mixes humor, which sitcoms are all about with sadness, an interesting combo that is hard to make look interesting. The two are perfectly synchronized in this episode. I would have never thought a sitcom would make me cry. The ending to this episode is one of true brilliance. Marshalls last sentence "My dad's dead?" sent a shiver trough my body. The best episode of a sitcom I have seen so far, kudos to the writers and the cast, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel in particular for that last scene.
