We're back in New York and Brad Sherwood makes his satisfactory debut, although one of the two best games here is one without him, the Helping Hands of Ryan-Colin getting ready for a date with the help of his housemate Greg.*  The other standout game is the first Superheroes, this time with the problem of "English television," which delights Greg of course.  Still, even with the weaker stuff left out, nothing quite raises this to a B-.  (And I'm omitting Richard V because there are no musical games on this version of the episode.)

*I don't know if I'd never heard the term "housemate" at 24 (remember, I'd grown up with the term "roommate," even on Three's Company, where Jack didn't share a room), or if it was Clive's pronunciation, but I remember thinking he said "housemaid," which really baffled me.  And then Ryan calls Greg "Francois," so Greg puts on a pretty good French accent, even though Ryan switches over to calling him Greg.  But you're mostly going to care about Colin brushing Ryan's teeth and then not getting to share the handtowel even after Ryan spits paste into Colin's hands.
