I guess we know how Colin Robinson’s coming back.

Poor Gizmo. I hope he aims well. At least Lazlo didn’t leave him with several pounds of raw chicken.

BTW, was Lazlo playing the theme to [Toast of London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_of_London) on the piano?

True. “Pedialyte and Oreos” struck me as being comedy perfection, but they could have gone in a more gross-out direction.

Ahem:

Perhaps an infant E.V. is generated from the remains of the dead 100-year-old one? (Having a kid to raise would certainly be a challenge for the remaining roommates, generating lots of comic possibilities.)

Too bad I didn’t bet any actual cash on that outcome.

Well done! So I’m predicting a time jump before Season 4, yeah?

Very possible. On the other hand the ‘rules’ of Energy Vampires are not established, so if they want to have the new one Mark Proksch-sized after only two weeks, they could do that.

Of course the entire plotline does hint at the fact that Energy Vampires and infants/small children have a lot in common, when it comes to their effect on care-givers. (Comedy gold!)

I wonder if they shot two endings or shot up to a point then delayed on the end. They announced a Season 4 right before this season started but I don’t know when the show’s people knew that and they could have easily tied up the show by changing the last five minutes.

Did anybody else see Guillermo’s (Harvey Guillen’s) Geico commercial? I saw it but can’t find it on youtube.

I loved them. I’d wondered if the writers were going to try to follow the characters overseas, where we left things at the end of the last season. But, wisely, they are limiting their overseas adventures to brief descriptions (which we see, flashback-style).

I started the thread last year for season 3, so I thought maybe I’d do the same this time, so we aren’t saddled with bumping an old thread with an inaccurate title.
